HTML Portlet Changes

The HTML portlet configuration page has been improved. The text entry area now has color-coded syntax and indentation.

Tips for HTML portlets:

• Avoid document.write in javascript.
• Do not reload the current page, such as setting window.location.href in javascript. CA Clarity PPM is a single page ajax-style application. Reloading the page is not optimal and can result in loss of application state data.
• Many CSS style names have changed. If you are currently using v12.x CSS style names, those can be incompatible.

Upgrade actions:

• Check CSS style names in custom HTML portlets to verify the style names are current and update where necessary.
• Verify all URL-related logic in javascript is correct for any custom HTML portlets. See Correcting the CA Clarity PPM URL for HTML and Xcelsius Portlets.
