HTML Properties

The HTML presentation object can be used to store and display custom HTML content inside QPR MobileDashboard. Difference to External Content presentation object are follows:

• External content is just a link to the web page that must reside outside QPR MobileDashboard. HTML presentation object contain the HTML code so it's stored to QPR MobileDashboard and transfered when exportin and importing views. Still, the HTML code may refer to external resources in web.
• External content presentation object is not able to draw outside its content area. This is because External content presentation object is tecnically an iframe, and the browsers don't allow iframes to draw to its parent window. HTML presentation object is able to draw outside its content area.

Presentation Tab

• The HTML Code contains the HTML that will make up the displayed HTML content. Also CSS and JavaScript balocks can be used.
  • By using JavaScript, it's possible to create HTML content that reacts when the HTML presentation object's effective context changes or when the HTML presentation object's container (panel or repeater) changes size.
  • You can also use context variables in the HTML code.
• Horizontal / Vertical scrollbar defines whether horizontal or vertical scrollbar is shown for the HTML presentation object. Alternatives are:
  • Auto: Scrollbar is visible if the content is scrollable (i.e. HTML presentation object height is greater than the available area for the presentation object in the view).
  • Visible: Scrollbar is always visible. If the content is not scrollable, the scrollbar is grayed.
  • Hidden: Scrollbars are not shown. This can be used when the HTML presentation object should not contain scrollbars to prevent the scrollbars appearing accidentally. If the height of the HTML presentation object is greater than the available area in the view, rest of the content is not accessible.
