HTML Classes
AS/400 Toolbox for Java HTML classes assist you in:
- Setting up forms and tables for HTML pages
Aligning
text
- Working with a variety of HTML tags
- Altering the language and direction of text
- Creating ordered and unordered lists
- Creating file lists and HTML hierarchical trees (and the elements within
them)

The HTML classes implement the HTMLTagElement interface.
Each class produces an HTML tag for a specific element type. The tag may be
retrieved using the getTag() method
and can then be imbedded into any HTML document. The tags you generate with
the HTML classes are consistent with the HTML 3.2 specification.
The HTML classes can work with
servlet classes to get data from the AS/400 server. However,
they can also be used alone if you supply the table or form
data.
The HTML classes make it easier to make HTML forms, tables, and
other elements:
BidiOrdering
class allows you to alter the language and direction of text.
- DirFilter
class enables you to determine if a File object is a directory.
- HTMLAlign class allows you to align blocks of
HTML output.
- HTMLFileFilter
class allows you to determine if a File object is a file.

- HTMLForm classes help you make forms more easily
than CGI scripting.
HTMLHeading
class allows you to create heading tags for your HTML pages.
- HTMLHyperlink class helps you create links within
your HTML page.
HTMLList
classes help you create lists for your HTML pages.
- HTMLMeta class allows you to create meta tags
for your HTML pages.
- HTMLParameter class specifies parameters available
to the HTMLServlet.
- HTMLServlet class allows you to create a server-side
include.

- HTMLTable classes help you make tables for your
HTML pages.
- HTMLText class allows you to access the font properties

- URLEncoder

NOTE: The jt400Servlet.jar file includes both
the HTML and Servlet classes. You must
update your CLASSPATH to point to the jt400Servlet.jar file if you
want to use the classes in the com.ibm.as400.util.html
package.
