The Form Properties dialog box enables you to set properties to a selected form. You can also set the options for an action being done over data posted by form.

The dialog box contains the following sections:

Action section

Check the No Action radio button to not perform any action.

Check the Local radio button, and select Dynamic Page (with .asp extension), which will be linked to the form, from the site Physical Resources tree to perform the necessary action.

Check the Remote radio button to enter URL of the file to process the form data.

Check the  Simple Feedback to create a formatted document feedback generated  by the Perl script. It can be shown as a feedback mailed to one or more recipients and saved to a file. After checking Simple Feedback , the Construct   button appears that enables you to customize the  Formatted Document Properties. Here you can set the properties for the Formatted Document.

Form Method section

Post and Get are the two methods a Web server uses to activate a WebShop CGI script. The Web server then gets instructions from the CGI script, and displays Web pages to the browser accordingly. Both methods use environment variables in order to succeed. The primary environment variable used is REQUEST_METHOD, which simply tells the server

We recommend to use Post for your form methods since somebrowsers can experience performance problems if you create a large form asking for lots of input, causing the GET query string to get fairly long.

Encode Type section

The Encode Type section contains default syntax which must remain unchanged.

Hidden Variables section

The Hidden Variables section enables you to manage the hidden variables in a form. These variables are the ones of a special type of form fields used by script to process a form. As the name implies, the Hidden Variables fields are not visible to the Web viewer and cannot be changed by the Web viewer.

To add a variable, click Add... at the bottom of the Hidden Variables window. The Hidden Variable dialog box will be displayed, enabling you to enter the name and value of the variable.

To modify any listed variable, select it and click Modify... at the bottom of the Hidden Variables window. You can also double-click the item. The Hidden Variable dialog box displays, and you can modify the name and value of the variable.

To delete a variable, click its name to select it and click Remove.
