For more details on the creation of web pages refer to the specialist topic Understanding the Web Administrator.

7. The Tags in Property indicator is used when entering code into the Property block and HTML tags are used. When entering the Javascript into a web page, the system automatically places HTML tags around the code in the web page. If the tags have been recorded in the property block and the indicator has not been selected, the tags in the Property block appear in the web page along with the Javascript. If the indicator is selected, the system does not insert its own tags and uses those recorded in the Property block. For example: the <STYLE></STYLE> tags.

8. If the Style Override indicator is selected, the global or individual style overrides any inline style elements applied to the inline style. If the Style Override is deselected, an inline style applied to the style overrides the global or individual style for the element unless it has been listed as a replacement element in the global or individual style.

9. Select the Closed indicator to prevent further use of the inline style definition.

10. Unwanted web inline styles can be removed by selecting the Delete button.

Rules/Notes:

An inline style definition cannot be deleted if it is currently being used in a web page.
