Container

Last modified: August 20, 2024

Introduction

A container is a layout element that can be used to simultaneously style, hide, drag, or delete a group of widgets placed in it:

In a browser, it is rendered as a simple div element by default. It is also possible to render a container as one of HTML5 semantic elements (for example, section, main, article, nav).

Properties

An example of container properties is represented in the image below:

Container properties consist of the following sections:

Accessibility
Common
Design Properties
General
Events
Visibility

Accessibility

Hide for Screen Readers

This property specifies whether to hide the container from screen readers or not.

The container should not have any focusable elements inside such as input elements, links, or buttons. These elements will cause the container to be announced by screen readers.

Common Section

For more information on properties in this section, see the Common Section section in Properties Common in the Page Editor.

Design Properties Section

The Design Properties allow you to change spacing and alignment of the widget and hide it on phone, tablet, or desktop, if needed. Design properties may vary depending on the type of the widget. For example, for the text widget you can change its font weight, color, alignment, and letter case.
