Elements and attributes

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
Default	Optional Text. Renders the text assigned to this attribute if the value returned by a selection is an empty string ("").
HTMLEncode	Optional Boolean. TRUE to convert embedded characters so that they are displayed as text in the browser. In other words, characters that could be confused with HTML tags are converted to entities.
Name	Optional Text. Specifies the name of the server property.
Select	Required Text. Specifies the name of the property to select.
ShowField	Optional Text. The ShowField attribute can be set to the field name to display. By default, a hyperlinked text from the Title field of the record in the external list is displayed. But the ShowField attribute can be used to override that and display another field from the external list. The following data types are allowed as targets of a ShowField attribute: Text, Choice, and Counter.
StripWS	Optional Boolean. TRUE to remove white space from the beginning and end of the value returned by the element.
URLEncode	Optional Boolean. TRUE to convert special characters, such as spaces, to quoted UTF-8 format (for example, %c3%ab for character ë).
URLEncodeAsURL	Optional Boolean. Like URLEncode, but TRUE to specify that the string to encode is a path component of a URL so that forward slashes (/) are not encoded.
