Thanks for yelling. especially without first confirming that I'm doing something wrong.

I am not automatically generating <span> tags, nowhere in the Repository code do I generate <span> tags. In fact, I just re-searched my source code for 'span' and got no hits at all.

The controls are dynamic and generated from templates. When the input form is generated on the fly, I read and parse the templates and create dynamic input controls, then inject those controls in to a PlaceHolder control.

Here's the code that is being used to generate the checkboxes..

objCBL = New CheckBoxList objCBL.CssClass = "normal" objCBL.RepeatColumns = 5 objCBL.RepeatDirection = RepeatDirection.Horizontal objCBL.RepeatLayout = RepeatLayout.Table objCBL.Enablev13wstat3 = True objCBL.ID = "__Attribute_" & attribute.ItemID.ToString() For Each attributeValue In attributeValues.GetRepositoryAttributeValues(attribute.ItemID)    objItem = New ListItem(attributeValue.ValueName, attributeValue.ItemID)    repositoryObjectValue = Nothing    repositoryObjectValue = repositoryObjectValues.GetSingleRepositoryObjectValues _  (objRepository.ItemId, attributeValue.ItemID)    If Not IsNothing(repositoryObjectValue) Then       objItem.Selected = True    Else       objItem.Selected = False    End If    objCBL.Items.Add(objItem) Next PlaceHolder.Controls.Add(objCBL)

I get the following issues with attributes.

I Have created a Company attribute in my repository, in the form it works well, and I was able to set the setting to "SINGLE".

In the header and the template I could display the combo box and the value but I could not change the properties.

In the header.xml I have the following :

<Object>
    <Token>[ATTRIBUTE:Company]</Token>
    <Settings>
      <Setting>
        <Name>CssClass</Name>
        <Value>breadcrumb</Value>
      </Setting>
      <Setting>
        <Name>Width</Name>
        <Value>300</Value>
      </Setting>
    </Settings>
  </Object>

but the attribute combo stay at default size and format.

In the template.xml I have :

<Object>
    <Token>[ATTRIBUTE:Company]</Token>
    <Settings>
      <Setting>
        <Name>CssClass</Name>
        <Value>Head</Value>
      </Setting>
    </Settings>
  </Object>

but the style stay to normal.

Is it a bug ? , I have tried with multiple combinations of upper and lower case for [attribute] but nothing works.

Any idea welcome.

I have also noticed some issues in documentation, for example the XML Setting "Required" is not documented although it is usefull for skinning.
