Definition

A complete text node or specific text fields within the Smart Forms XSF interface can be declared as ready for input, using the Text Area list box. You can choose between the entries Text Fields and Text Area in the list box. The default setting is Text Fields.

If you choose the entry Text Area , an HTML tag with the same name is generated from the XSF interface and connecting XSLT transformation. This HTML tag contains the content of the text node. Permitted attributes for text areas correspond to the HTML standard and have the following meaning:

  • Lines/Height: This attribute defines the number of visible text lines in the text area. If the user enters more text lines, the browser automatically provides a scrolling mechanism to display the text content in the non-visible area.
  • Columns/Width: This attribute defines the number of visible characters in the text area (in an average character width for the browser). If the user enters more characters, the browser automatically provides a scrolling mechanism to display the text content in the non-visible area. Browsers can automatically insert line breaks in long text lines without a scrolling mechanism having to be provided.
  • Display Only: The Display Only attribute defines whether the text content in the text area can be changed by the user.
