About this task

For more information about these methods, refer to the Javadoc information.

Procedure

Choose one method:
  • If the dashlet is of type html, the output of the dashlet URL must be a standard HTML code fragment. For example,
    <iframe height="260" frameborder="0" width=100% scrolling="no"
                     src="../stk/modules/elements/news/iframe.html?format=300x250"
                     marginwidth="0"marginheight="0"/>
  • If the dashlet is of type extscreen, the output of the dashlet URL must be a JavaScript code fragment, which should declare createBody( ) function. This function should create and return a valid Ext widget that will be rendered into dashlet body. For example,
    
    function createBody( ) { 
       return new Ext.Panel(...); 
    }
