Customize WebX to Remove Header or Footer

[Anonymous user]

📖 Home  Back  
It is possible to modify the layout of the pages shown in WebX by modifying the XML sylesheets on the server.  The most common request in this area is to remove the existing header and/or to allow more space for the page ActiveX control on lower resolution monitors.

Note: Changing the style sheet may affect compatibility when upgrading or repairing an installation of your system. This means that you may need to make the changes to the style sheet again after an upgrade or repair.

If you move the style sheet to a new location, an upgrade or installation repair will result in a new style sheet being added to the original location of the style sheet. So, following an upgrade or installation repair, you may experience problems on the web server. You will need to copy the style sheet from the old location to the new location and then re-apply the changes to it.
