DATASINK attribute


The DATASINK attribute allows a WebXpresso plugin instance to indicate a cgi program to receive the user input that occurred in controls in the plugin drawing. The cgi receives a query string that includes the name, type, and values from the control with which the user interacted.

The query string is of the form <name1>=<value1>&<name2>=<value2>&....

The possible names are:

  1. Origin: The hierarchial resource string indicating the input object.
  2. Value1: The value of an input object that produces a float value.
  3. Value2: The second value of an input object that produces two float values.
  4. Value3: The third value of an input object that produces three float values.
  5. String1: The value of an input object that produces a string value.
  6. String2: The second value of an input object that produces two string value.
