Operation Manual

WebPlus Advanced | 171

To attach code to a page:

1. Right-click on the page and choose Attach HTML....

Choose the Attach HTML button on the Standard toolbar.

2. In the dialog, scroll the window to locate editable placeholders. Which

placeholder you choose depends on what you want to achieve.

3. Select all of the placeholder and paste HTML, script or any other text

string to overwrite the placeholder text.

Select all of the placeholder and type directly in the placeholder's location

(again overwriting the placeholder text).

4. To switch back to your normal page view, click the project tab at the top

of the source window.

Using IDs

All objects in WebPlus are given unique alphanumeric IDs for referencing by

scripting languages. By default, ID generation is automatic for each object,

text column, table row and table cell. For example, a newly drawn

QuickShape will automatically be assigned an ID of "qs_1", a second

QuickShape will be "qs_2", pictures could be "pic_1", "pic_2", etc.

It may be perfectly acceptable to utilize these automatic IDs in your scripts but

if you need to assign your own IDs, it's possible to turn off the site-wide

automatic generation of IDs in the Options tab of the Site Properties dialog

(select Site Properties... from the File menu). Uncheck the option specific for

object, text column, table row and/or table cell and press OK. Your own

replacement IDs can instead be added in the available placeholder, i.e.

If the object is copied on the same page or to another web site, the ID

number will be replaced by a new ID number.

Any object ID can be edited once the object is on the web page. A different

name can be used or, if you don't want to show an object's ID (but want to

keep site-wide ID generation), you can prevent the ID from being shown in

source code.
