Web Connection User's Guide
Use the Horizontal Rule part to add a horizontal line to a Web page.
You can use this part to divide your page into distinct sections. The
HTML Horizontal Rule part generates the HTML hr
element.
To add a Horizontal Rule part, select the Web Connection Category (
), then the Horizontal Rule part (
). You can also add the part using the Add Part dialog and specifying
the class name, AbtHtmlRule.
The Horizontal Rule part has the following properties:
- align
- Use the align property to specify how you want the element to
be aligned on the Web page. You can select any of the following values
from the drop-down list:
- Top
- Middle
- Bottom
- <Default> (Browser default)
In addition, you can specify an alignment by typing the appropriate string
directly into the field. Do this if you want to specify a special
alignment supported by your browser but not directly supported by
VisualAge. VisualAge will use the specified alignment string when
generating HTML at run time, but will use its default alignment at edit
time.
This property is equivalent to the align attribute of
the appropriate HTML element.
- eventHandlers
- Use the eventHandlers property to define any event handlers for
this part. Event handlers provide the ability to detect and react to
events that occur while an HtmlPage is loaded in a Web browser. An
example of an event handler is mouse over, where you can specify
when the mouse moves over an HTML element, something happens, usually a
JavaScript is executed..
- extraAttributes
- Use the extraAttributes property to specify any additional HTML
attributes that you want included in the HTML tagging generated by the
part. You can use this property to include HTML attributes that are not
directly supported by VisualAge.
- height
- Use the height property to specify the thickness, in pixels, of
the horizontal rule.
This property is equivalent to the size attribute of
the HTML hr element.
- partName
- In the Part name field, type the name you want to use to
describe the part. For non-visual parts, this text appears under the
icon for the part on the free-form surface.
The name of the part can consist of alphanumeric characters, and must be
unique from all other parts on the layout surface.
This field is optional. If you do not specify a part name, VisualAge
generates a unique name based on the class name of the part.
- width
- Use the width property to specify the width of the line as a
percentage of the width of the page. For example, if you specify 50 in
this field, the rule will appear half the width of the page, even if the user
resizes the size of the browser window.
