Description

4GL Web pages are enhanced Web pages that incorporate extensions to the Web Target object model (formerly the PowerSite object model) to generate template (source) code for dynamic Web pages. 4GL Web pages rely on the object model to handle the complexities of data transfer, HTML generation, and JavaScript generation for server scripts. With many of the implementation details taken care of for you, you can concentrate on designing your pages and coding the application logic.

Usage

4GL Web pages integrate with other Web pages on your Web site. They are suitable for sharing data with other pages across your site and accessing components installed on EAServer. They provide enhanced support for Web DataWindow objects on HTML pages and support deployment to the PowerDynamo application server, which processes the server scripts to deliver dynamic content to your users.

4GL Web pages help you:

• Manage page data among Web pages (using page parameters, page variables, and session variables)
• Access data from EAServer components
• Bind data to controls on your page
• Manage page navigation
• Create server scripts with minimal coding effort
• Debug page processing
