Hi, how can I achive the following behavior:
I want the user to set the value for an IDREF attribute of an element interactively, i.e. he should be able to select the target element (with an ID attribute) by clicking on it in the styled view. I think of a command (triggered by a button in the generated content of this element) that changes the shape of the cursor (to signal the user the "pick"-mode) and that shows the user where he can find possible targets by displaying a red border around (the innermost of) them when the mouse is above it. The displayed element path could be that of the temporarily selected target element. To support the user further, the attributes shown in the attribute editor could be those of the temporaily selected target element. To lead the user to possible targets, all targets could be visually altered (e.g. blinking or underlined or strikingly colored) - independent of the position of the mouse pointer. -- Best regards Michael H?bner ----------------------------------------------- - Michael H?bner Voice: +49/3677/69-2871 - Ilmenau Technical University Fax: +49/3677/69-1220 - Dept.
