Adding Dynamic Content 255
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.
To edit an object ID:
1. Right-click an object and select ID.
OR
Select the object and choose HTML ID... from the Format menu.
2. In the dialog, modify the HTML ID value.
3. (Optional) Choose whether to Write ID for this object. Selecting "Use Site
default" means that the setting in the Options tab of the Site Properties
dialog is honoured—"Yes" or "No" means that the object's ID is always
shown or never shown irrespective of the site default setting.
Tokens
WebPlus provides a range of grouped HTML annotation tokens which can be
attached to HTML fragments, objects or pages. They get replaced by
appropriate "real" values when you export to a file or preview your page.
Adding tokens is a simple case of inserting a token string, by copy and paste
or typing directly, into one of the placeholder positions in any HTML source.
A full list of such tokens is provided in the WebPlus Help (search for tokens
in the Index)
Adding forms
Web-based forms allow information to be collected from visitors to your Web
site in an efficient and modern manner. In much the same way as traditional
paper forms are used to collect information, Web-based forms offer the same
form completion concepts, but take advantage of the Internet as a powerful
information conduit. Some common form types include request forms,
feedback forms, and guest books.
Form data can be collected in a variety of ways—by email, to a local/remote
script file, or via Serif Web Resources.
