Tag attributes
Attribute Default value Required Description
id - no The ID of the section. The value of this attribute goes directly into the standard id attribute. This means that if you need a reference to the scetion object in your own JavaScript code, you may for example use the following code:

section = document.getElementById('<id>');

clazz note no The value if this attribute goes directly into the standard HTML class attribute both when the section contents is hidden or visible.
showclazz note no The value if this attribute goes directly into the standard HTML class attribute when the section contents is visible.
hideclazz note no The value if this attribute goes directly into the standard HTML class attribute when the section contents is hidden.
style - no The value if this attribute goes directly into the standard HTML style attribute. This allows you to apply different styles to different sections.
contentstyle - no The value if this attribute goes directly into the standard HTML style attribute of the content part. This allows you to apply different styles to different sections.
title no The title of the section.
visible true no If the section should be visible or not.
initial show no If the value is hide the section is hidden, otherwise it is visible. This setting is ignored if a context is given.
context - no An optional ItemContext object. If given the initial atribute is ignored. The valus is instead taken from the context setting section.id where id is replaced with the value of the id attribute. This should have the value "1" to show the section or "0" to hide the section. If a context is given the default javascript method will also send an Ajax request to the web server which will update the setting in the context with a new value for the show/hide setting. Thus, all settings are remembered during a session and also when the user returns to the next session.
