Adding Content to Pages


Specifying Display Values for a Control

You can configure your data source so that the display values in a list control are different from the actual filter values that are passed when a value is selected. You can use this ability to provide more user-friendly and localized values for selection from the control without extra modifications to your content.

Control display values can be configured using the ACCEPT property for a field in a synonym. You can set this property to reference a lookup column with actual filter values and a display column from an external procedure or synonym.

Applying Custom JavaScript to a Page

You can use custom JavaScript to enhance the functionality of components on a page. Any component created on the page using the Designer canvas can be modified in the Javascript tab by referencing a CSS class name specified in the Classes field of the Properties panel for the object, or using the Designer JavaScript API, to standardized classes that correspond to different component types in a page or portal. Each component class can utilize a set of predefined methods in addition to custom JavaScript.
