Selecting Fragments dynamically

You can specify modifications on the URI set for a Fragment and its pages.

To add dynamic data to a Fragment URI

1	Select the Fragment.

2	In the Properties panel Fragment category, select the Fragment URI field.

3	In the Modification text field, click the browse button.

4	In the Data Selection dialog, either:

–	Browse to the field or variable with the value determining what content to render in runtime.

–	Enter an XPath manually.

Note:

If you use an XPath expression, enter it directly in the Modification text field.

You can remove or edit the modification later by selecting the Modification field in the Properties panel and removing or editing the data.

To add dynamic data to a Fragment page

1	Select the Fragment.

2	In the Properties panel Fragment category, select the Page ID or Name field.

3	In the Modification text field, click the browse button.

4	In the Data Selection dialog, either:

–	Browse to the field or variable with the value determining what content to render in runtime.

–	Enter an XPath manually.

Note:

If you use an XPath expression, enter it directly in the Modification text field.

You can reference a Fragment page name directly in Name property field using the following syntax: <Fragment URI>!/item[n] where n is the order of the Fragment page in the Pages list. You can also access the page using the following syntax: <Fragment URI>!/item[@name="<Fragment page name>"] By combining and chaining these forms, you can refer to specific objects on a Fragment page. For example, the following value specified in the Name field refers to an object called AddrTable in a Fragment page called FrenOverlay. This is a page definition in a document referenced by <URI> (For example dcresource:<id>) <URI>!/item[@name="FrenOverlay"]/item[@name="AddrTable"] This is useful if you want to let a fragment grow in a story.
