AppML HTML List

The <htmllist> element defines the layout of a list of records to be displayed as an entry point to an input form.

HTMLList Sub Elements

The <htmllist> element takes the following sub elements:

• title
• stylesheet
• sql
• header
• footer
• table
• td

The Title Element

An AppML <title> element inside an <htmllist> element has the same function as the title element inside the <appml> element.

If this element is omitted the application will use the default title from the <appml> element.

The Stylesheet Element

An AppML <stylesheet> element inside an <htmllist> element has the same function as the stylesheet element inside the <appml> element.

If this element is omitted the application will use the default stylesheet from the <appml> element.

The SQL Element

The AppML <sql> element defines the SQL statement to be used to extract data from the database.

If this element is omitted, the input form will use the default <sql> element from database description.

The Header Element

The AppML <header> element is used to define an additional output that will be displayed before the actual HTML List on a page.

Any HTML code may be included inside the <header> element

Example:

<htmllist>

<sql>
select * from customers
</sql>

<header>
<h1>Northwind Traders Customers</h2>
<p>Compiled by John Johnson</p>
</header>

</htmllist>

The Footer Element

The AppML <footer> element is used to define an additional output that will be displayed after the actual HTML List on a page.

Any HTML code may be included inside the <footer> element

The Table Element

The AppML <table> element provides a way to define the style and layout of the report table. An AppML <thead> element can be used inside the table element to define a table header different from the default.

Example:

<htmlreport>

<sql>
select CustomerName, City from Customers
</sql>

<table border="0" class="app">
<thead><tr>
  <th class="app" align="center">Customer Name</th>
  <th class="app" align="left">Customer City</th>
</tr></thead>
/table>

</htmlreport>

The TD Element

HTMLList Attributes

The New attribute

The new attribute can be used to disable the NEW button from the AppML HTML List.

Example:

<htmllist new="false" delete="false">
