You can customize the XHTML that is generated at runtime by the XML Web DataWindow and the XHTML Web DataWindow using an XHTML export template in the DataWindow painter’s Export Template view for XHTML.
Each DataWindow object that you create has a default XHTML export template associated with it. You can see the default template in the DataWindow painter’s Export Template view for XHTML.
Displaying the XHTML export template
The Export Template view for XHTML is not in the default DataWindow painter
layout. To display it, select View>DataWindow Painter Layout>Export/Import
Template>XHTML from the menu bar.
The XHTML export template is a single-instance document of the <form> element. It stores only the structural layout and any changes that you make to the elements, attributes, and style declarations. When XHTML or XSLT is generated, these changes are incorporated into the <form> element and the CSS stylesheet used to render the DataWindow in the browser. More than one export template can be created for a DataWindow.
Default style rules and most default attributes are not stored in the template. Any changes to style declarations are stored in the template, but at runtime they are removed and applied to the separately generated CSS stylesheet.
In the Export Template view for XHTML, you can reference DataWindow column, computed field, and text controls, and DataWindow expressions for each row in the XHTML, wherever character data is allowed. At runtime, these are replaced with text.
