The Properties panel shows the attributes of the object or objects selected on the canvas. For example, if you select a hyperlink object, the Properties panel shows the different attributes associated with a hyperlink, such as Enable Dragging. General attributes for the entire HTML page or Document are shown when no object is selected. The Properties panel is available when you are using the HTML canvas. The attributes can be sorted by category or alphabetically.
You can also select Events. When Events is selected, a list of all available JavaScript events that can be used in conjunction with an object appears. The events that are available change depending on what type of object is selected. For example, a report object has different events available than a button object. When no object is selected, events for the HTML page are displayed. Double-clicking on an event will create a function block for the selected object, using that event. You can view the created functions in the Embedded JavaScript/CSS tab, where you can type the JavaScript code to execute when the selected event occurs.
For more information on customizing the Properties panel, see Using the Panel Customization Options.
Color Selection
For properties that affect color, such as Background-color, Border-color, and Color, you can enter the hexadecimal value of the color you want to use directly into the property, rather than opening the Color Picker dialog box. If you use the Color Picker dialog box to select a color, the hexadecimal value of that selected color will be entered into the selected property. For more information on the Color Picker dialog box, see Color Picker Dialog Box.
Controls
The Name or Unique Identifier attribute settings for controls appear automatically in the Parameters tab of the HTML canvas.
