New and Changed Features
The CSS user interface is now more user-friendly and more flexible with styling options. Thus, web designers have more flexible ways to implement design changes to CSS web pages.
New Style Sheet Structure
There are now no hard-coded styles for graphics, icons, or colors. There is also no cell-padding or cell-spacing as table layout options. Instead, cascading style sheets are available for flexible design use.
Now you can use the cascading style sheets to customize the header/footer, horizontal drop-down menus, corners, and buttons.
With the new cascading style sheets, you can position HTML elements anywhere on the screen.
Styles Rationalized
Now there are more styles in the super UI layer.
The new cascading style sheets have the HTML element <DIV> for more styling flexibility.
Due to the improved style sheets, now the system can highlight fields that fail validation.
New System Registry
Previously, the general cascading style sheet file gen_webpro.css was hard-coded. Now for you to easily configure the general cascading style sheet file name, there is a new system registry stylesheet. The default value for the registry field is qad_style.css.
Enhanced Calendar
For all date fields, there is now a calendar. The UI of the calendar is also enhanced for better user experience.
Enhanced HTML E-mail Experience
Now by using Detail Master E-Mail Maintenance, administrators cannot only add custom e-mail events and content of the e-mail, but also add a header and footer for the e-mail.
Browser Support
The system now supports Internet Explorer 10. We also have certified QAD CSS for the latest versions of Chrome, Opera, and Safari.
