Chapter 17: More Tips for Web Settings

Overview

In a previous chapter, I showed you how to use Web settings to enhance your Web user interface. In this chapter, I will introduce the Web setting not covered before and I'll walk you through some examples to show you how to use these features in your own environment.

First of all, let me give you a summary of all Web settings available. Table 17.1 shows the different Web settings available and the corresponding DDS objects available in display files. You can see that there are many we have not worked with yet.
