An output field object lets you display text data. It is also possible to present the output field as a hypertext link if an Adelia event is associated with it.
The output field is graphically represented in the HTML page (Dreamweaver® design mode) as a text made up of n identical characters. The number of characters reflects the size of the variable and the character used reflects that of the variable type.
For a hypertext link output field, the text is underlined.
For example:
AAAAAAAAAA is the graphical representation of an output field (hypertext link) for which the associated variable is ALPHA type and has a length of 10.
The meaning of the characters used is as follows:
A |
ALPHA |
B |
NUM_BIN_2 / NUM_BIN_4 / NUM_BIN_8 |
9 |
NUM_E / NUM_P |
YYYY-MM-DD |
DATE |
HH.MM.SS |
TIME |
YYYY-MM-DD-HH.MM.SS.MMM |
TIMESTAMP |
By inserting an output field object, an <adelia:outputfield> tag is created.
By default, the <adelia:outputfield> tag is not based on a standard HTML tag.
However, if an Adelia event is associated with the output field, via the interface, then the <adelia:outputfield> tag encloses an HTML <A> tag. Moreover, the definition of the Adelia event triggered by a mouseclick is transcribed via the href attribute of this <A> tag.
The presence of an <adelia:outputfield> tag determines a link with the Adelia Web program to which the current HTML page belongs.
The different attributes of the <adelia:outputfield> tag and certain attributes of the associated HTML <A> tag define the different characteristics of the Adelia variable associated with the object, and the behavior of the object.
