Summary
WIZ006 - Defining a Style Sheet
Important Observations
- Style sheets are a very quick and effective way to modify your Web function application.
- Changes to the style sheet are automatically applied to the layout (i.e. a build of the Layout or Menus is not required).
- To define a style sheet effectively, you will require some knowledge of the HTML tags used by your Web function application.
- Style sheets can include tags, classes, ids, sub-classes or any other construct supported by Cascading Sstyle Sheets.
- Common tags attributes can be selected and generated using the Declaration assistant.
- Tag attributes are not validated.
- It is your responsibility to remove any duplication and correct errors in the free-format entry area.
- It is important to test your style sheet using all the browsers you intend to support with your Web function application.
- Browse lists are not the only HTML table constructs in LANSA for the Web components.
Tips & Techniques
- Browse list characteristics can be modified using the Browse list characteristic in the Wizard or using style sheets to modify various table tags.
- When using style sheets be careful that you understand how and where the specified tags are used in your application.
