Dynamic and Static Inspectors
Most dynamic elements have static HTML counterparts. (The exceptions are the abstract dynamic elements: WOString, WORepetition, WOConditional, and WOCustom.) The Inspector for these elements has two states:
- The Dynamic Inspector, which you use to set the bindings for the element (see "Binding Elements").
- The Static Inspector, which you use to set the HTML attributes for the element's static counterpart.
To switch back to the WOText Inspector, select Dynamic Inspector from the pop-up list.
In addition, you can convert any dynamic element into its static counterpart, or vice versa:
- When inspecting a dynamic element, if you click Make Static, the element becomes its static counterpart (if it has one), and the Static Inspector appears.
- When inspecting a static element, if you click Make Dynamic, the element becomes its dynamic counterpart. Both the Static and Dynamic Inspectors are now available.
If you convert a static element to its dynamic counterpart by clicking Make Dynamic, and there is no direct counterpart, the element becomes a generic WebObject whose element name is the HTML tag for the static element (see "Generic WebObjects"). In this figure, a list element (<UL>) has been converted to a generic WebObject element.
