JSP Properties

The following properties are available in the JSPs tab of the Form Properties dialog.

 

This tab allows you to specify the paths of the optional surrounding JSPs. JSPs specified here override any default values configured for form default properties in the form’s presentation template, and can themselves be overridden by specifying values for the Page Control properties for individual pages. Click here for info on the precedence of the various JSP configuration parameters.

HTML Form Tag Position

HTML Form Tag Position

Specifies the position of the HTML <form> tag.

Options are:

·         Includes all JSP Panels - the <form> tag includes the page and all included JSP panels.

  • Includes form only - the <form> tag includes just the page and not any JSP panels. Use this option if you need to include your own <form> tags in your JSP files.

 

Using an Application Layout

 

It is not possible to configure JSP’s if the Form is configured to use an Application Layout. The JSP settings will be set from the Application Layout settings. All checkboxes and text fields will be disabled and the settings will be automatically filled in from the Application Layout settings.

 

 

Using a Theme or Template

 

It is possible to set default values for many of these form properties in the presentation template associated with a form. The default properties are configured in the Form section within the Presentation Template Editor.
