Connect classes and attributes

Connect itself sometimes adds a specific class or attribute to elements in a template. Capture

OnTheGo widgets, for example, have a role attribute that allows the COTG library to dictate

their behaviour. Connect classes and attributes can be used in selectors, as will be explained

and demonstrated below.

Connect-specific classes usually are invisible in the Designer. By opening the currently

selected section in your default web browser (click the Preview HTML toolbar button) and using

the browser's code or source inspector you can see most of the dynamically added classes.

Warning

Avoid using classes with the __ol prefix in your selectors. These dynamically added class names

may change in future releases of the software.

Section selector

The Designer writes the name of each section to the section attribute of the <html> element.

This attribute can be used in selectors.

Example

The following rule applies formatting to <h1> elements in sections of which the name starts with

‘Letter’:

[section^='Letter'] h1 {

color: brown;

}

Note

To make scripts run exclusively on certain sections, it is advised to put them in folders and set the

execution scope of the scripts in a folder via the folder properties; see "Execution scope" on

page266.
