Parameter |
Description |
ACCESSKEY |
Specifies an accelerator for the element. Pressing alt-key selects this element in the user's browser. |
CLASS |
Class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a subclassed style sheet with the tag. |
DATAFLD |
Column name from the data source object that supplies the bound data. |
DATAFORMATAS |
Indicates whether the bound data is HTML or plain text. |
DATASRC |
ID of the data source object that supplies the data that is bound to this element. |
DISABLED |
Used to disable an element. This means it won't respond to user input, or take the users focus, and causes the element to appear "grayed out." |
ID |
SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underscore character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position. |
LANG |
Specifies which language to use in ISO standard language abbreviation form. |
LANGUAGE |
Specifies the language the current script is written in and invokes the
proper scripting engine. The default value is JAVASCRIPT. |
STYLE |
Inline style sheet for the tag. |
TITLE |
The TITLE attribute is for advisory information (unless used with a mailto: attribute). The Title attribute should provide the title of the document whose address is given by the HREF attribute. The contents of the title attribute will be displayed in a tooltip during the mouse moves on the link. Internet Explorer 4.0 (and above) is the only browser to implement this. |
TYPE |
Defines a button that indicates a default for the ENTER key (with a dark
border). The possible values are: |
