Creating the Page's Content
A web page consists of elements. In addition to the standard static HTML elements found in all web pages, WebObjects allows you to create dynamic elements, whose look and behavior are determined at runtime. To create elements, you use the toolbar buttons. There are three groups of buttons:-
Structures
. Use these buttons to create paragraphs, lists, images, and other static HTML elements. -
Dynamic form elements
. Use these buttons to create form elements in which users enter information. WebObjects gives your application access to the data entered by users by allowing you to associate, or bind, these elements to variables in your application. -
Other WebObjects
. Use these buttons to create other dynamic elements, which you can bind to variables and methods in your program to control how they are displayed. Some of these (such as hyperlinks) have direct HTML equivalents. Others are abstract dynamic elements, such as repetitions and conditionals, which determine how many times an element is displayed or whether it is displayed at all.
