Oracle Tips by Burleson |
Developer Toolbar
The developer
toolbar is displayed at the bottom of web pages when a developer or
administrator is logged into the HTML DB development environment. It
provides quick links to several common tasks.
-
Edit Application: Goes straight to the
Application’s home page described earlier in the chapter.
-
Edit Page 1: The page id (1) will depend on
which page you are on. This will take you to the Page Definition
screen.
-
Create: Runs the Create wizard allowing the
developer to select whether they want to create a New Page, new
Region on the current page, new Control on the current page, or a
new Shared Component.
-
Session: It is difficult to express enough how
important this link is to an HTML DB developer. Clicking this link
will display a popup window showing the current status session
state. Session state will become very important as new developers
dive into the world of developing HTML DB applications.
-
Debug: This is another very important link.
It causes the current web page to be re-posted with debug
information shown inline. Some of the valuable information
displayed is the amount of time each step took to process while
rendering the page. There is a section on debugging later in the
book.
-
Show Edit Links: This link will display a
little icon  next
to each of the components on the page. Clicking on the icon will
display a popup window allowing the developer to change the
properties of the component without leaving the current page. This
is a very handy productivity feature in HTML DB.
