NAME
AppLib HTML Generation API
DESCRIPTION
The AppLib HTML Generation API is a set of classes containing mainly static methods that generates HTML for a variety of tasks.
The AppLib::HTML package itself holds commonly used HTML related methods, such as escaping and tag generation.
The AppLib::HTML::Form class contains methods for generating form elements.
The AppLib::HTML::Table is a class that implements the generation of quite complex HTML tables.
escapeText( $text )
The escapeText method escapes 'text' for general purpose uses.
escapeProperty( $text )
The escapeProperty method escapes text for use in HTML tag properties. In these situations, extra attention needs to be paid to ensure that quotes are always properly escaped.
escapeTextArea( $text )
Escape text for the special case of text in a textarea.
escapeHTMLText( $text )
The escapeHTMLText method escapes text for display on a HTML page, especially in situations where the text might contains line breaks etc.
linkCallback( $text, \%args, \%options )
TO BE COMPLETED
tag( $name, \%properties )
Generates an arbitrary tag, somewhat like CGI.pm does.
To reduce load, this method does not do escaping or case alteration. Escaping untrusted strings is left to the caller.
TO BE COMPLETED
tagPair( $name, $props, @contents )
Generate a pair of tags with content in them.
To reduce load, this method does not do escaping or case alteration. Escaping untrusted strings is left to the caller.
TO BE COMPLETED
TO DO
Reorganise the methods somewhat, especially the escaping ones.
Chase down all references to them, and fix them as well ( there will be a lot )
