Forms
. To
convert the result of a mailto: form into readable text, I've written another
program named Mailto Converter, also available from my homepage, Info-Mac and
other shareware libraries on the net. The program can be downloaded from
http://www.calles.pp.se/nisseb/mailto_converter.html, use it if you like.
Note: If ACTION is not defined, Netscape will display an email window with your
own subject. I'm not sure if this is an official feature, or if it is supported
in all versions of the program.
Input objects
INPUT is a form object, for example a field. The following parameters are
allowed:
NAME=text
The name of the object. The result will be sent as 'name=value'
TYPE=text
Defines the object type. Can be either TEXT (Text field), INT (Number field),
PASSWORD (Password field, characters is viewed as bullets, ¥), RADIO (radio
button, only one can be selected), CHECKBOX (Selected or not), HIDDEN (A hidden
textfield), FILE (A special button which will ask the user for a file to upload.
This requires special cgi-scripts and servers.), SUBMIT (a button used to send
the form), IMAGE (Imagemap as a submit button) and RESET (a button which reset
all objects to their default values). A form must have at least one SUBMIT or
IMAGE object.
VALUE=text
Is the default value of the object, for example "Hello" in a text field. If
TYPE is RADIO or CHECK, VALUE is returned only if the radiobutton or checkbox
is checked. May be used in all objects.
[SIZE=n]
Defines the width of the object in pixels. Not needed in all objects, for
example not in buttons.
[MAXLENGTH=n]
Defines the maximum length of the value, for example 3 (characters). Needed in
the same objects as used by the SIZE parameter.
[CHECKED]
Set the hilight of a radiobutton or checkbox to true as default. Not used in
other objects.

Other form objects
. NAME is the
object name and SIZE the number of visible rows. If the optional MULTIPLE
parameter is used, the object will be a list. If not, it will show up as a
