Adding Attributes and Attribute Values

To define styles, you specify attributes and attribute values for states associated with a component that Nexaweb applies to that component when that component is in that state.

To add attributes and attribute values to a style, follow these steps:

1. Select a state for a style.

2. Select attributes for the type of component to which this style applies:

If the selected attribute has a defined type, a picklist appears in the Value field for you to select a valid value.
Otherwise, you can enter any appropriate string or integer, whichever it accepts. See the Nexaweb platform locally installed XML UI documentation for descriptions of the available component attributes.
