Internet Explorer concatenates the values in the order in which they appear in the HTML. The entry-title class name can be applied to more than one element. It is possible to combine multiple text spans to create a title that updates whenever the Web Slice does. The value of this property maps to the Web Slice button text and the advertised name on the Feed Discovery button. entry-title classĪt least one child of the hslice must specify an entry-title class name. Note: If the id value changes, Internet Explorer will no longer be able to identify the Web Slice. If two Web Slices on the page share the same id value, Internet Explorer will ignore one of them. The id attribute must be present on the same element that uses the hslice class. The id value is used to identify the Web Slice in a URL, similar to the way a named anchor (bookmark) is used.
