elementName

Name of the HTML tag. This name (for example "HR") will be used to generate the element's tag (<HR>). elementName can either be a constant or a variable, such as a key path. You can also set the value of this attribute to null, which effectively shuts off this element (that is, WebObjects doesn't generate HTML tags for this element). Alternatively, you can use the omitTags attribute to achieve the same effect.

omitTags

Specifies whether the element's tag should be displayed. The default value is false . If omitTags is true , the entire element is not rendered.

elementID

Allows access to the element's element ID. This is a read-only attribute.

otherTagString

Enables any string to be part of the opening tag. This permits standalone attributes such as "checked" or "selected" to be part of a tag.

formValue, formValues

Enables implementation of input-type elements (for example, WOTextField). Bind these attributes to a variable that can contain the component's input value. During the takeValuesFromRequest phase, if the element ID of the current generic element matches an element ID of a form value in the request, the form value is pushed into the component using this attribute. The formValue attribute corresponds to WORequest's formValueForKey while the formValues attribute corresponds to WORequest's formValuesForKey method; in other words, formValue pushes a single attribute while formValues pushes an array of attributes.

invokeAction

Enables implementation of action elements (for example, WOHyperlink). During the invokeAction phase, if the element ID of the current generic element matches the sender ID of the URL, the method bound to this attribute is evaluated. Just as with any action method, it must return an object that conforms to the WOActionResults interface, such as WOComponent or WOResponse.
