String Editor

The String Editor is invoked from either the HTML Editor or the Table Editor whenever the text (long string) is present in a attribute (text is => 50 characters) and is provided as a convenience. A example of a long string in a HTML is shown:

String editor -  (long string)

Note: Text Fields of less than 80 characters are edited in-situ in both the table and HTML editors.

The String editor displays the following Window when opened:

Long String Editor

The String Editor Window's title bar indicates the name of the attribute being edited as shown:

String Edtor - title bar attribute name
