To add an HTML document to the current schema
Select the Add command from the HTML menu.
The first page of the HTML Wizard, shown in the following diagram, is then displayed.
The HTML Wizard:
Accepts an HTML file (that is, an HTML document) as input and processes the file to create a set of persistent objects that represent the file contents (that is, an HTML page).
Creates a class and properties corresponding to the Input, Select, and JADE_TAG tags that are present in the HTML.
Enables you to change the default class and property names and to maintain a mapping of the HTML property with the JADE property.
When using the HTML Wizard, click the:
Next > button to continue defining the HTML document.
< Back button to return to the previous page. You can then change your selections, if required.
Cancel button to close the HTML Wizard.
You can use the < Back and Next > buttons to go through the HTML Wizard pages, making the appropriate selections, as required.
When adding an HTML document:
You cannot use JADE_TAG tags for a name. As JADE needs to create properties based on the name, the name in the HTML file must be a literal value.
You can use duplicate names.
When processing the HTML document, as JADE looks for specific tags and does not parse the document for syntactical correctness, invalid constructs such as a missing closing angle bracket (>) can cause unexpected results.
Attributes for input tags (including select) can be set without a JADE_TAG having to be included in the definition. For example, to disable a button called addsave, if you were to code setAttributes('addsave', 'disabled', ''); in the updateValues method, this would cause the button to be disabled.
You can use the JADE_TAG tags to define translatable strings in the HTML document source. (For details, see "JADE_TAG Tag Notes" and "Generating Data for JADE_TAG Tags Only", later in this chapter.)
