Generating HTML, C1QueryFrame control substitutes special tags with HTML text according to the rules described here. These substitution rules provide:
Interactive functionality, see the scripts attached to OnClick. The scripts can be found in the same template file.
Display style, see the styles attached to the Class property, those are styles defined in Display style attributes.
HTML element ID. Item elements must have specific IDs defined here, because these IDs are used in the scripts and in C1QueryFrame code.
Knowing these rules, you can use the reserved IDs, script function names and display styles to write your own HTML in item templates. You can use special tags and rely on the substitution rules, or you can write your own HTML without special tags.
In the following substitution rules, itemid represents the item id for the current item (the item being processed), text represents the string contents of the element. C1Q*CurrentStyle must be replaced with C1Q*ActiveStyle or C1Q*InactiveStyle if the element is not in focus and belongs to a selected or unselected item.
