Details of the core components that make up the site frameworks, themes and templates.
The components library provides the standard building blocks that make up many of the elements used in our site themes and templates.
This developer documentation includes Java and .NET code samples, as well as the HTML generated. It is possible to use the HTML directly in your designs (eg the HTML form field) but you'll need to be able to maintain it should we release updates.
