Gets or sets the border attribute(s) of a specified element.
dessIndentGets or sets the border attribute(s) of a specified element. The border attributes: borderType - EmptyBorder, EtchedBorder, BevelBorder, LineBorder, TitleBorder, MatteBorder, SpecialMatteBorder. size - (numeric value) for: bottom, left, right, top. color - (hexadecimal value) for: bottom, left, right, top. dash pattern - (numeric value) for selected side(s). rounding radius - (numeric value) for selected side(s). rounding radius - (numeric value) for selected side(s).It only It only returns it's correct value if it was explicitly set.

NOTE: Use the same value(s) and order of attribute(s) from the element design time property "borderType".tdret
Returns the height of the current element. NOTE: getHeight() can be used with getWidth() to set the size of an element using the setSize function. For example:
//returns the width (w) and height (h) var w = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getWidth(); var h = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getHeight();
//sets the new size forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setSize(w,h);
//sets the new size and adds 1 px to both the width and height forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setSize(w+1,h+1);
Sets the location of an element. It takes as input the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates - starting from the TOP LEFT side of the screen. Please note that location should not be altered at runtime when an element is anchored. Use the solutionModel in such a situation.
NOTE: getLocationX() can be used with getLocationY() to return the current location of an element; then use the X and Y coordinates with the setLocation function to set a new location. For Example:
//returns the X and Y coordinates var x = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationX(); var y = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationY();
//sets the new location 10 px to the right; 10 px down from the current location forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setLocation(x+10,y+10);
