Use the Get URL statement to load a document from a specific URL into a specific window, or to pass variables to another application at a defined URL.
To test this action, the file to be loaded must be at the specified location. A network connection must exist for absolute URLs (for example, http://www.myserver.com/).
The Get URL action has the following parameters:
|
URL specifies the URL from which to obtain the document. |
|
Window specifies the window or HTML frame that the document should be loaded into. You can enter the name of a specific window or frame or enter an expression. You can also choose from the following reserved target names: |
| _self specifies the current frame in the current window. | |
| _blank specifies a new window. | |
| _parent specifies the parent of the current frame. | |
| _top specifies the top-level frame in the current window. | |
|
Variables determines whether to use GET or POST to send variables, or whether to pass no variables at all. The GET method appends the variables to the end of the URL, and is used when a small number of variables are involved. The POST method sends the variables in a separate header, and is capable of sending much longer strings. See Setting and identifying variables. |
