PAGEBODY

Definition of the vertical scrollbar's appearance.

You can define that scrollbars only are shown if the content is exceeding the control's area ("auto"). Or scrollbars can be shown always ("scroll"). Or scrollbars are never shown - and the content is cut ("hidden").

Default is "auto".

Definition of the horizontal scrollbar's appearance.

You can define that the scrollbars only are shown if the content is exceeding the control's area ("auto"). Or scrollbars can be shown always ("scroll"). Or scrollbars are never shown - and the content is cut ("hidden").

Default is "auto".

Indicates if the content of the control's area gets the full available height.

If you use percentage sizing inside the control's area then this property must be switched to 'true'. If you use no explicit vertical sizing at all - or you use vertical pixel sizing for your controls - the property must be switched to 'false'.

Background information: container control's internally open up a table in which you place rows (ITR/TR) which then hold controls (e.g. LABEL/FIELD). The table that is opened up normally has no explicit height and grows with its content as consequence. By specifying "takefullheight=true" the table itself is sized to fill the maximum height of the available area.

true

false

CSS style definition that is directly passed into this control.

With the style you can individually influence the rendering of the control. You can specify any style sheet expressions. Examples are:

border: 1px solid #FF0000

background-color: #808080

You can combine expressions by appending and separating them with a semicolon.

Sometimes it is useful to have a look into the generated HTML code in order to know where direct style definitions are applied. Press right mouse-button in your browser and select the "View source" or "View frame's source" function.

background-color: #FF0000

color: #0000FF

font-weight: bold

Comment without any effect on rendering and behaviour. The comment is shown in the layout editor's tree view.

Defines if there is always a small horizontal distance kept between the border of the PAGEBODY area and its content. Set to 'false' if you want controls in the page body to directly start at the very left and to end at the very end - without any distance.

Default is 'true'.

Default value is false. If set to true all controls included in the pagebody tag will be surrounded by a form tag - only in the generatet html page.

That makes it possible to save or transfer forms.

i.e. save username and password or a complete search form.

You will also need an 'submitbutton' - please have a look at the button control.
