Project Anatomy

A project is made up of several pieces. These pieces are created and managed by Sapphire/Web and all of its supporting interfaces. The project pieces are kept track of in the Project File, project_name.pj. The pieces that make up the project are:

1. HTML Documents
2. Data Objects
3. Object Bindings
4. Project Options
5. Supporting Code
Each of these pieces is described in detail within the Sapphire/Web Reference Guide.

Activator ID Strings

An Activator ID String is used to represent an Activator. The syntax of the Activator string relies upon the type of Activator it is: Form or Anchor.

Form Activator Syntax

	html_file<FORM>activator_name

Anchor Activator Syntax

	html_file<A>activator_name
Where:

html_file is the name of the HTML file that the Activator exists

activator_name is the name that was given to the Activator in the Activator Selector.
