Form Element Option Attributes

Form Element Option Attributes are used exclusively for check boxes and radio buttons and control the way the HTML DB engine renders individual options. For example:

class="fielddatabold"

could make checkbox display values (or labels) to appear in bold.

(See Chapter 5 of the 2 day Tutorial, sub-section "Alter Check Box Display Values")

This makes text in a text box bold as you type it in. This may make the information in a region easier to read, is to make the labels (or the data) more pronounced. With this, you can additionally accomplish more by changing the color, specifying another font, or using bold.

(See Chapter 4 of the 2 day Tutorial, sub-section "Making Data Bold")

• Earl, the Wiki is really a place for "Solutions" and "Hints" rather than for generally asking questions....although perhaps we should consider a Question section? -- JohnScott - 21 Jan 2006 21 Jan 2006 - 13:21
