Can I assign an Outsystem local variable to an HTML element class as value?
Question
HTML
Web

Here's an HTML code:

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

        <div class='myCustomClass'></div>
 

What I'm trying to do: 

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

        <div class='"+OutsystemsLocalVariable+"'></div>


The reason I'm doing this is that I want to build an HTML class during runtime and I want it to be dynamic (using innerHTML). 

Is this achievable?

Hi,


Why do you think it's not achievable?

you can do it via expressions or via extended-properties for example

To J.'s point, with Expressions you would just adjust the escape property.  That said, I would highly encourage you to use extended properties instead to avoid any potential circumstance where the expression could break the HTML.  You simply add an extended property of 'class', and set the value to OutSystemsLocalVariable or such.
