The attribute viewer/editor is a means of displaying and/or editing the contents of an attribute. Each attribute can contain a different value that needs to be represented differently. For example, a ‘jpegphoto’ attribute contains an image and an ‘audio’ attribute contains a sound and a ‘name’ attribute contains some string. These three need to have different visual representations. In the case of the image, the actual image might be displayed. In the case of the sound, the sound might be played automatically or when a play button is pressed. In the case of the name attribute a textbox with the string might be displayed. The LDAP Browser/Editor allows users to customize the viewers/editors for any attribute.
