Records and Fields

Field
Describes a container that can hold one piece of data
Properties include data type, length, labels
Record
Describes a collection of Fields used together

Similar to beans, C STRUCTs, COBOL record layouts
Looks like a database table definition
The same Field can be reused on many different Record objects
Records used to build tables and design the data structure of pages
Records and Fields example (demo online)
14
Pages and Components

Page = web page
Consists of page controls for display of data and user interaction

Components allow for multiple, tabbed pages instead of one huge page
Component/Page example (demo online)
