Actions Documentation
Add(Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute attribute)
This action adds an attribute to this object. If an attribute with the same name as
Parameters
- Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute: The attribute that will be stored.
Example
use Libraries.Web.Page.AttributeAccepter
use Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute
Attribute attribute
attribute:SetName("src")

AddAttribute(text name, text value)
This action adds an attribute to this object. This action is a helper action, which essentially does the same thing as the Add(Attribute) action. If an attribute with the same name as
Parameters
- text name: The name of the attribute functions as a key. For example, in a link, we might have a "src" and an actual address, like google.com. In this case, the name would be equivalent to the src.
- text value: As an example of link, imagine we have a value of "src" and an actual address, like google.com. In this case, the value would be equivalent to google.com.
Example
use Libraries.Web.Page.AttributeAccepter
use Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute
AttributeAccepter accept
accept:AddAttribute("src", "http://www.google.com")
AddClassAttribute(text value)
Adds to the ClassAttribute attribute. Multiple class names can be listed in the passed text, separated by a space.
Parameters
- text value: The classes to be added to the element
Example
use Libraries.Web.Page.GlobalAttributeAccepter
use Libraries.Web.Page.Attribute
GlobalAttributeAccepter accept
accept:AddClassAttribute("myClass")
AddNestedTag(Libraries.Web.Page.WebTag tag)
This action adds a WebTag to the list of WebTags contained within the current WebTag.
Parameters
- Libraries.Web.Page.WebTag: The WebTag to be added to the list of sub-WebTags.
Example
use Libraries.Web.Page.TableRow
use Libraries.Web.Page.TableData
//TableRow and TableData are both WebTags
TableRow row

row:Add(cell)
AddText(text value)
This action sets the description text for this WebTag.
Parameters
- text value: The text contained in the WebTag.

Compare(Libraries.Language.Object object)
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.
Parameters
- Libraries.Language.Object: The object to compare to.
Return
integer: The Compare result, Smaller, Equal, or Larger.
Example
Object o
Object t
integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)
Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)
This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.
Parameters
