Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

DATAFLD — NN n/a IE 4 HTML n/a

Synopsis

DATAFLD=”columnName"

Optional

Used with IE 4 data binding to associate a remote data source column name with the parameter passed to a Java applet or object. In the following example, data from a data source column named backColor is assigned to the VALUE attribute, even though the attribute is not explicitly shown in the tag. More complex relationships are also possible with both OBJECT and APPLET elements. Eventually, Internet Explorer will be able to bind changes of applet property values to data source columns to update the data source and to pass data source changes to an applet using a technique for naming get and set property methods found in JavaBeans.

Example

<PARAM NAME="bgColor" DATASRC="#DBSRC2"DATAFORMATAS="text" DATAFLD="backColor">

Value

Case-sensitive identifier.

Default

None.
