PLBWEB_VDATALIST Keyword

     PLBWEB_VDATALIST={ on|off }

This keyword controls the PWS rendering mode for all PWS DATALIST objects in a program.

If this keyword is not specified in the 'plbwebsrv.ini' file, the default behavior is to use the new virtual PWS DATALIST object implementation which is based on HTML TABLE objects.

If the user wants to invoke the original PWS DATALIST object rendering, the 'PLBWEB_VDATALIST=OFF keyword can be specified in the 'plbwebsrv.ini' which forces all PWS DATALIST objects to be implemented using the HTML SELECT object.

Note the following:

1.   The new virtual PWS DATALIST provides the same presentation and behaviors across all browser and iOS client device types. The older\original PWS DATALIST which used the HTML SELECT object caused uncontrollable behaviors when using iOS client devices that were inconsistent with other client browser types.
