Use the Grid part to arrange the information on your page in a tabular
format. The Grid part generates the HTML element
table. After you have added an Grid part to your
page, you can modify it to add or remove rows or columns, and you can place
other Web Connection parts inside the cells of the grid.
- align
- Use the align property to specify how you want the element to
be aligned on the Web page. You can select any of the following values
from the drop-down list:
- Top
- Middle
- Bottom
- <Default> (Browser default)
In addition, you can specify an alignment by typing the appropriate string
directly into the field. Do this if you want to specify a special
alignment supported by your browser but not directly supported by
VisualAge. VisualAge will use the specified alignment string when
generating HTML at run time, but will use its default alignment at edit
time.
This property is equivalent to the align attribute of
the appropriate HTML element.
- alignHorizontal
- Use the alignHorizontal property to specify how the information
in the data cell is aligned horizontally. Valid values are:
- <Default> (browser default)
- Left
- Center
- Right
In addition, you can specify other alignments supported by your browser by
typing the appropriate string directly into the field.
This property is equivalent to the align attribute of
the HTML td tag.
- alignVertical
- Use the alignVertical property to specify how the material in
the data cell is aligned vertically. Valid values are:
- <Default> (browser default)
- Top
- Middle
- Bottom
In addition, you can specify other alignments supported by your browser by
typing the appropriate string directly into the field.
This property is equivalent to the valign attribute
of the HTML td tag.
- border
- Use the border property to specify how wide the border around
the object should appear. For no border, leave the field blank or
specify 0 (zero) for the border.
- cellPadding
- Use the cellPadding property to specify the amount of space you
want to appear around the data in the cells.
This property is equivalent to the cellpadding
attribute of the HTML table element.
- cellSpacing
- Use the cellSpacing property to specify the amount of space
around the cells themselves.
This property is equivalent to the cellspacing
attribute of the HTML table tag.
- eventHandlers
- Use the eventHandlers property to define any event handlers for
this part. Event handlers provide the ability to detect and react to
events that occur while an HtmlPage is loaded in a Web browser. An
example of an event handler is mouse over, where you can specify
when the mouse moves over an HTML element, something happens, usually a
JavaScript is executed..
- extraAttributes

attributes that you want included in the HTML tagging generated by the
part. You can use this property to include HTML attributes that are not
directly supported by VisualAge.
- partName
- In the Part name field, type the name you want to use to
describe the part. For non-visual parts, this text appears under the
icon for the part on the free-form surface.
The name of the part can consist of alphanumeric characters, and must be
unique from all other parts on the layout surface.
This field is optional. If you do not specify a part name, VisualAge
generates a unique name based on the class name of the part.

The units used are determined by the widthUnits property.
- widthUnits
