Overview

Setting Attributes Declaratively

You adjust the appearance and behavior of each UI Element in the Attributes Tab of the App Inspector.

Attributes


The attributes available consist of some common ones as well as some specific to the UI Element being inspected.

Getting and Setting Attributes Programatically

The setAttribute(name, value) method can be used to set the value of an Attribute:

Lianja.get("pageid").setAttribute("title","Page1")

Note: on the desktop, the shortened form setAttr(name,value) is also available.

The getAttribute(name) method can be used to get the value of an Attribute:

cTitle = Lianja.get("pageid").getAttribute("title")

Note: on the desktop, the shortened form getAttr(name) is also available.
