- <h1>Browsing forms</h1>
-
-
-
- <p>As Amaya is a browser/editor, some of the widgets associated with HTMl
-
- form elements are different from those you are used to in browsers. This
-
- section mentions the most notable differences.</p>
-
-
-
- <h2>Form input selector, single selection (GTK and WIN32 only)</h2>
-
-
-
- <p>To activate the selector, the user has to click twice on the entry. This
-
- will result in a popup widget appearing showing all the entries. The widget
-
- supports a user interaction both with the keyboard as well as with the
-
- mouse.</p>
-
-
-
- <p>With the keyboard, you must first select an entry using the arrow keys.
-
- Pressing the Enter key will validate the choice. the Page Up and Page Down
-
- keys allow the user to quickly scroll amont the list entries. You can abort
-
- the action of this widget by pressing the F2 key anytime.</p>
-
-
-
- <p>With the mouse, there are two kinds of behavior. A single click allows the
-
- user to select an entry, whereas a double click on an entry means that the
-
- user wants to activate the selection. To abort the action of the widget, you
-
- just need to click in any area outside of the pop-up widget (N.B., this
-
- option doesn't work yet on GTK). You can also use the scroll bar to quickly
-
- navigate thru the widget entries.</p>
-
-
-
- <h2>Form input selector, multiple selection</h2>
-
-
-
- <p>The behavior of this widget is similar to the single selection one. That
-
- is, the widget supports only one toggle of a selection state at the time. You
-
- need to invoke it as many times as toggle changes you need. When the widget
-
- is activated, it will show the current state of selections. On WIN32, this is
-
- currently done by appending a '>' character to the selected entries. On
-
- GTK, this is done by means of a blue color bar. As before, you can abort the
-
- widget by using either the F2 key or clicking elsewhere (only on WIN32
-
- systems).</p>
