JSF 1.2 Inline Help Component
See Also
The Inline Help component
provides short help information that appears inline on your pages. The Inline Help component is called helpInline
in the JSP code, and the associated Java class in the page bean is HelpInline
.
-
This component has support for client-side JavaScript functions that enable you to perform actions on the client without a trip back to the server. For more information on this advanced feature, choose Help > JavaScript References > Project Woodstock 4.1 Tag Library and navigate to webuijsf:helpInline.
You can click inside the component and start typing text. You can also resize the bounding box to limit the width of the text. The text wraps to the width of the box.
You can also set the style
property by using the Style Editor or the styleClass
property by using the styleClass Property Editor to change the appearance of the text.
-
If you want to change the appearance of this component, use the
style
property. Do not use the type
property because it has no effect.
If you right-click the component, you can choose one of the following options:
- Bind to Data. Opens a dialog box that enables you to bind the component's
text
property to a data provider or to an object that supplies its value so you can update the help text dynamically. For more information, see Bind to Data Dialog Box.
- Property Bindings. Opens a dialog box that enables you to bind properties of the component in addition to the
text
property to other objects or bean properties that update this component's properties automatically.
- Add Binding Attribute. This option adds a binding attribute to the component.
- Note: If you plan to script the component in Java code, you must manually add a binding attribute, which is bound using a value binding expression to a property of the backing page bean.
- Remove Binding Attribute. This option removes the binding attribute from the component.
