HTML Parameters
PARAM NAME="ServerURL" VALUE=
URL of server program to execute.
PARAM NAME="UserInterface" VALUE="Full"
PARAM NAME="UserInterface" VALUE="Button"
PARAM NAME="UserInterface" VALUE="None"
Specifies the type of user interface .
PARAM NAME="SubmitButton" VALUE=
Label to display on Submit button, if shown (as indicated by the UserInterface parameter).
PARAM NAME="URLEncode" VALUE=
If this parameter is supplied, data is URL-encoded before sending (i.e., the outgoing MIME type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Without this parameter, data is sent in raw text form (MIME type text/plain). The usage of this parameter despends on the destination CGI program. Any non-null value will enable URL-encoding.
PARAM NAME="Debug" VALUE=
Setting the Debug parameter to any non-null value displays the eSuite Debug console where status messages are displayed. The eSuite Debug console shows more detailed status than is shown in the status area when running in Full UI mode.
PARAM NAME="OutputFormat" VALUE="Browser"
PARAM NAME="OutputFormat" VALUE="Infobus"
For MIME types text/html and text/plain, this parameter describes what to do with the server output. If OutputFormat="Browser", the result output is shown in the browser. If OutputFormat="Infobus", server output is collected in a string which is placed on the InfoBus.
If the data returned from the server is not text/html or text/plain, the server output is placed on the InfoBus as a generic Object (using the InfoBus class SimpleDataItem. Another applet on the InfoBus that is listening for the data item can render the object according to its format.
If the HTML format is selected, and the browser is not capable of supporting the Javascript protocol (i.e., only Netscape browsers can exploit this feature), the output is placed on the InfoBus as if OutputFormat = "Infobus".
PARAM NAME="OutputDataSet" VALUE=
If OutputFormat= "Infobus", this parameter names data set containing the server output. Ignored if OutputFormat=Browser, unless the browser does not support the Javascript protocol. Defaults to "GatewayOutput"
PARAM NAME="InputType" VALUE="Immediate"
PARAM NAME="InputType" VALUE="DataSet"
PARAM NAME="InputType" VALUE="Field"
Describes where to fetch the data from. "Immediate" means the data is given in a following Value parameter. "DataSet" means the value is fetched from a InfoBus item named by the InputName parameter. The dataset, once fetched, is assumed to contain an array, whose first column are names of server items and subsequent columns data. "Field" indicates the data is fetched from a InfoBus item named by the InputName parameter, which is also assumed to be the server item name. Use Field when the entire dataset is a value; use DataSet when the dataset contains a list of values.
This parameter is required.
PARAM NAME="InputName" VALUE=
Names the parameter according to the rules of InputType. This parameter is required.
PARAM NAME="InputValue" VALUE=
Contains the actual data value if InputType="Immediate". When InputType ="Immediate" this parameter is required, and an error will be generated if it this parameter is not present. If InputType is DataSet or Field and this parameter is present, an error will be generated.
PARAM NAME="InputParameters" VALUE=
This option allows for parameterized input strings. Items delimited by % are taken to be field names (as if InputType=Field); when these items are fetched they are plugged back into the given string for transmission.
