As you build forms, use standard controls to bring consistency and predictability to your application's look and feel.
Use the Records Explorer to see a complete list of the standard controls available to you.
Standard controls provide these additional benefits:
Let you customize a control in a section or harness without having to make multiple copies and reconfigurations.
Preserve custom settings when you upgrade your system.
Ensure browser independence and compatibility.
Eliminate hand-coding, which simplifies design and maintenance.
Eliminate inline JavaScript, which reduces cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities and improves performance.
This section begins with procedures common across standard controls and then provides procedures that are specific to individual controls, by type.
