Tips & Techniques
To simplify the maintenance of all the browse lists in your Web Application, it is recommended that you use the Define Process Group to set the boundary of your Web Application. When you select the Browse List characteristic from the Home page and press Go, all the browse lists included in your Process Group will automatically be displayed. You can then customize a single browse list. When you are satisfied with the browse list presentation, you can standardize all browse lists in your Web application by copying the original browse list to all other browse lists in your process group.
Browse lists which are presented as an HTML <TABLE> may also be impacted by your style sheet definitions.
If the Maintain System Variable screen includes or excludes values, the details stored in the LANSA internal file DC@W33 have been modified since your last LANSA upgrade or install.
When a color graphic variable is set to blank, LANSA for the Web will ignore this value and look for another default. A blank color is treated as if the variable does not exist.
To reset the selection images for a browse list, you must delete the *LW3BLI_<list name> graphic variable using the LANSA for the Web Editor.
Including hyperlinks in a browse list element will overwrite the associated font color settings.
The image for browse list selection will only be used with procedural functions. It will not be used with browse lists in WEBEVENT functions.
You should think carefully about the names of the browse lists used in your RDML functions. Implementing browse list naming standards will help manage your application development.
The FRWEBENQ01 template allows you to define the browse list name by entering a unique 2 character identifier. If you are creating templates for Web functions, you should use a similar approach to ensure unique browse list names are generated.
Use the Preview button for a general idea of how your browse list will appear in your Web Application. For a more accurate representation of your browse list, you need to run your application and view it in the context it has been used.
