Hi all,
I know there are some screen components that allow special CSS style declarations which names start with the @ character (e.g. "@specialDeclaration"). I'm currently interested in knowing which declarations are available for the TextArea component.

Is there a resource where the declarations available for each component can be found? If this is not the case, how can I find which ones are available for a specific component?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mario

In actual implementations, the Appway component TextArea will be converted into an HTML textarea element. Appway will set some attributs itself for e.g., for HTML textarea element the name="__pagevalue__/..." .

For an HTML , the w3 defines attributs available in the following document: http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/textarea . (note that HTML5 support even more attributs)

At my knowledge, Appway doesn't have a list that declares all available "@specialDeclaration" for each components, but you can always inspect the HTML code generated to find available attributs.
Be aware, that the HTML code generated from a component could change in newer version of Appway or that some browsers might not support all of them.

In general, I would try to avoid adding "@specialDeclaration" . Those are kind of hard-coded value (hard to maintain). Try to avoid them as much as you can...
