This section describes the properties available for a browser element in the page definition.
Effective Constraint
| Property | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Constraint Source | The location that is providing the constraint for this element. | TEMPLATE_CONSTRAINT |
| Constraint Type | The type of constraint for this element., i.e. Bounds: - The element is being positioned absolutely. Flow -The element is flowing. None - The element has no position constraint. | BOUNDS |
| height | The height of the element in pixels. | 63 |
| width | The width of the element in pixels. | 281 |
| x | The x location of the element in pixels, relative to its parent element. | 445 |
| y | The y location of the element in pixels, relative to its parent element. | 184 |
Element Constraint
| Property | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Constraint Type | The type of constraint to apply to the element., i.e. Bounds: - The element should be absolutely positioned. Flow - The element should flow.. None - No constraint for the element should be supplied here (although a constraint may be inferred from somewhere else, e.g. a template). | BOUNDS |
| height | The height of the element. Can be specified in pixels (e.g. 50), as a percentage (e.g. 10%), or as an automatic value based on the size of the content of the element (auto). | 64 |
| width | The width of the element. Can be specified in pixels (e.g. 50), as a percentage (e.g. 10%), or as an automatic value based on the size of the content of the element (auto). | 321 |
| x | The x location of the element, specified as a value in pixels. It is only available when using a Bounds constraint. | 13 |
| y | The y location of the element, specified as a value in pixels. It is only available when using a Bounds constraint. | 314 |

| Enabled? | Indicates whether the element is enabled. | true |
| Enabled Expression | An expression that determines if the element is enabled. This will take precedence over the Enabled flag.This is entered via a pop up text window. | #{size(addressList) > 0} |
