Activator Selector

The Activator Selector is used to select Anchors for Aliasing and Binding. The Activator Selector allows the developer to select a Form <FORM> or Anchor <A> that has never been used in the project, give it a name, and mark it as a Sapphire/Web Activator. It can also select existing activators when creating new Object Bindings.

When a Document is selected, all of the Forms and Anchors in that document are displayed in the respective list. Selecting, highlighting, and clicking the OK button in a Form or Anchor transfers it to the Selection field.

Before a Form is named, it looks like this in the Forms List:

ACTION=http://some_url or ACTION=some_name
Before an Anchor is named, it looks like this in the Anchor List:

HREF=http://some_url or HREF=some_name
The display for unnamed Forms and Anchors is determined by the HTML contained in the HTML document tag for that Form or Anchor.

If the Use Default Name toggle is chosen, an unnamed Anchor will attempt to use the name as is after the = sign. If the name is invalid, the user is prompted for a valid name. If the Use Default Name toggle is not chosen, the developer is prompted for a name every time a new Form or Anchor is selected as an Activator.
