Adding a background pattern
The Postcard template wizard (in the Basic Print templates group) uses the .DESIGN class to
mark areas that are reserved for postal use and should not contain text or images. These areas
were added to the Master Page as absolute positioned boxes that have been given the class
clearzone. The following style rule assigns a background pattern to elements with that class in
the Design view:
.DESIGN .clearzone {
background:url
(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAAECAYAAACp8Z5+
AAAAFUlEQVQImWNgQAL/70z7TyqHgYEBANRfDcEzmlBaAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC)
repeat;
}
Note
The pattern image was created on www.patternify.com and is added as a data URI (see
Data URIs).
Showing hidden Foundation elements
In Capture OnTheGo templates based on the Foundation framework the .DESIGN selector can
be used to show elements that would otherwise be hidden in the Design view.
For example, to expand accordion elements and show validation errors in Design view, you
could add the following style rules to your template:
.DESIGN .accordion .accordion-navigation > .content {
display: block;
}
.DESIGN small.error {
display: block;
margin-top: -20px;
}
Loading a snippet via a script
Instead of dragging it into the content directly, it is possible, and often very useful, to load a
snippet dynamically. Create a script (see "Writing your own scripts" on page867) and in the
code use the following function:
loadhtml(‘snippets/nameofthesnippet.html’).
