Widgets for Static Server Pages
Widgets for static server pages (USPs) are HTML controls that determine how data is represented in the web page.
Unlike the widgets in other presentation components, USP physical widgets do not support logical widgets.
In the HTML layout of USPs, the widgets are represented by Uniface-specific XHTML tags, which are automatically inserted when copying the component structure to the layout. For more information, see XHTML Elements for Static Server Pages.
At runtime, webgen uses these tags to generate and populate the HTML controls in the web page with the actual data. You configure the XHTML that is generated for fields and labels by editing XHTML tags and adding settings to the application assignment file. For more information, see Customizing the XHTML Generated for USPs.
