The
HTML app
can be used to add HTML controls to your desktop or page. When you use HTML to add an input contorl to a page, you must
add a data attribute to tell the system how to use the control. The "data-name"
attribute tells the browser the name you want to use for the data tha the control produces.
Sample
The following shows creating two slider controls.
Each control has a data-name attribute that tells the system what name to give to the output of each control. In this
case, the value of the first slider will be available in the desktop or page with the name "slider1".
It produces the following
Any time the value of one of the sliders changes, the value in the desktop or page will change.
Button
Sometimes you may wish the value of the control to change in the desktop or page only when the user
clicks a button. For example, you may have a textbox, for which you only want to capture the value when
the user submits it.
In this case, put a "data-setter" property on the textbox, and then create a button with a "data-set" property, where
each refers to the same name.
