Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute

The Attribute class represents a property of a particular tag in the web libraries. For example, the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) 5 standard, we might define an attribute that represents a web link, or the location of an image or move file. Most of the time, users will not need to interact with the Attribute class, unless you need to gather information from an existing web page. Generally, most WebTag objects allow you to set attributes automatically, without needing to instantiate an Attribute directly.

Example Code

use Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute

Attribute attribute
text result = attribute:Generate()
output result

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Example Code

Object o
        Object t
        integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Example Code

use Libraries.Language.Object
        use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
        Object o
        Text t
        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

The SetValue action returns the value of the attribute. The name in this context matches with what is called an "Value" in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) 5 standard. For example, the value might indicate the location of a file or an image, or where to link to on the web.

Example Code

use Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute

    //by default, this would output an empty text value
    Attribute attribute
    attribute:SetValue("http://www.google.com")
    text result = attribute:GetValue()
    output result

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Example Code

Object o
        integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

The GetName action returns the name of the attribute. The name in this context matches with what is called an "Attribute" in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) 5 standard. For example, in HTML, the "href" tag indicates where to link to in web links.

Example Code

use Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute

    //by default, this would output an empty text value
    Attribute attribute
    text result = attribute:GetName()
    output result

The GetValue action returns the value of the attribute. The name in this context matches with what is called an "Value" in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) 5 standard. For example, the value might indicate the location of a file or an image, or where to link to on the web.

Example Code

use Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute

    //by default, this would output an empty text value
    Attribute attribute
    text result = attribute:GetValue()
    output result

The SetName action sets the name of the attribute. The name in this context matches with what is called an "Attribute" in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) 5 standard. For example, in HTML, the "href" tag indicates where to link to in web links.

Example Code

use Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute

    //by default, this would output an empty text value
    Attribute attribute
    attribute:SetName("src")
    text result = attribute:GetName()
    output result

The SetValue action returns the value of the attribute. The name in this context matches with what is called an "Value" in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) 5 standard. For example, the value might indicate the location of a file or an image, or where to link to on the web.

Example Code

use Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute

    //by default, this would output an empty text value
    Attribute attribute
    attribute:SetValue("http://www.google.com")
    text result = attribute:GetValue()
    output result
