Element specific settings
After inserting them, certain COTG elements, such as the Camera element, some important
settings have to be made. These will appear when you right-click the element and select it
from the short-cut menu.
Attributes
The attributes (which aren't the same as the settings mentioned above) of a COTG element can
be seen on the Attributes pane, after selecting the element (see "Selecting an element" on
page377).
All COTG elements have a role attribute. This attribute is not supposed to be edited:without
the correct role attribute, the element won't function.
As noted, the name attribute is what identifies the element after submitting the form.
Tip
Use the Outline pane at the left to see which elements are present in the template and to
select an element.
Use the Attributes pane at the right to see the current element's ID, class and some other
properties.
Use the Styles pane next to the Attributes pane to see which styles are applied to the
currently selected element.
Tip
Click the Edges button on the toolbar to make borders of elements visible on the Design
tab. The borders will not be visible on the Preview tab.
How to make COTG elements required

element and choose Validation settings. Set the Form's validation method to jQuery and set
