Editing preferences
These preferences define different editing options in the Designer module.
l Object Resizing for <div> elements: This defines in which contexts to enable the
resizing of <div> elements (including Positioned and Inline boxes). Resizing <div>
elements may cause layouts to produce undesirable results especially when using
Foundation templates.
l Enable for Print Context: Check to enable <div> resizing in the Print contexts.
l Enable for Web Context: Check to enable <div> resizing in the Web contexts.
l Enable for Email Context: Check to enable <div> resizing in the Email contexts.
l Detail tables preview limit
l Maximum number of records to show in preview: This setting limits the number
of records to show in detail tables in both the Designer (Preview tab) and
Datamapper. The lower this number, the shorter the time before the preview or the
next record will appear.
l Dragging data fields to the editor. When you drag-and-drop a data field into a template,
a placeholder appears in the template and a script is added (see "Inserting variable data
directly (drag-and-drop)" on page847). This option specifies what to use as the script's
selector.
l New scripts use a class selector (recommended): The placeholder is wrapped in
a Span element, and the Span's class is used as selector. This is recommended
because it is faster (see: "Optimizing scripts" on page933).
l New scripts perform a search and replace: The placeholder text is used as
selector.
Tip
