Use the Web Page Properties dialog to define and maintain the properties of a stylesheet associated with an application resource. To access the Web Page Properties dialog, right-click on the stylesheet option and choose Properties from the popup menu.
Field Descriptions
Application root name Read only. Name of the Percussion application with which the stylesheet is associated.
Request name Read only. Name of the Percussion request with which the stylesheet is associated. If a stylesheet is associated with multiple requests, the value of this field is <multiple>.
Use stylesheet Drop list. Name of the stylesheet used to produce the output. Options are Default (the output is generated using the default stylesheet) and the name of the file dropped to create the Web page icon.
Namespace cleanup Checkbox. Check this box to remove any invalid namespaces from formatted output. This checkbox is used primarily when generating XHTML output to clean up namespaces added to content edited using the DHTML editor. This control adds namespaces that are not valid in the XHTML namespace. These namespaces must be removed from formatted XHTML output for that output to render.

Content Type Settings Radio buttons. Specifies the MIME type of the stylesheet output. Options are Default (uses the MIME type specified in the resource), Specify (specify the MIME type in the associated drop list), and Get from XML element (derives the MIME type from the XML element specified in the associated drop list).
Stylesheet output charset Drop list. Used to specify the output character set of the stylesheet.
Cache Settings Dialog
Resource caching saves query result pages in the server cache to decrease page loading time. By default, some resources in Percussion are set for caching and others are not, but you may change the cache settings. In general, only apply resource caching to queries based on data that does not frequently change
Use the Cache Settings dialog to maintain cache settings. To access the Cache Settings dialog:
- Right-click on the Data Pipe and from the popup menu choose Properties.
The Percussion Workbench displays the Pipe Properties dialog
- On the Pipe Properties dialog, click the [Cache Settings] button.
Field Descriptions
Enable Caching If checked, caching is enabled for the resource.
Additional Key Settings By default, Percussion identifies the cached page with a key using the URL's protocol, server, port, Percussion root, page extension, and HTML parameters. However, CGI variables, cookies, and user context variables may be appended to the page and therefore, must be added to the key. Use this field to add these additional key variables.
Dependencies Specifies applications that will trigger an automatic cache flush if they change.
