Note

To enable submitting arrays, you need to check this option in the HTTP Server user preferences in

(PlanetPress or PreS) Watch.

In case multiple fields with the same name are encountered the previous value is overwritten.

This way only a single occurrence of that field name will we available in the data containing the

value of the last encountered occurrence of that field. This behaviour is also seen in the PHP

language.

For a detailed explanation of how to use this feature, see: Using The PHP Array Option.

Getting the status of unchecked checkboxes and radio buttons

Unchecked checkboxes and radio buttons are not submitted (as per standard HTML behavior),

so how to get the state of those checkboxes and radio buttons? A common approach to get the

state of unchecked checkboxes and radio buttons is to add a hidden field to the Form with the

same name as the checkbox or radio button, for example:

When multiple fields with the same name are encountered, the previous value is overwritten.

This way the values for unchecked checkboxes and radio buttons can be processed easily.

Using JavaScript

JavaScript files, libraries and frameworks can be added to a template, primarily for use in Web

pages and Capture OnTheGo Forms. Before doing this, you need to choose which kind of

library or framework you want to work with, depending on the type of features you really desire.

For a bit of help with that and a few examples, see this how-to: Using external libraries.

Tip

It is possible to open and edit any JavaScript file in the Designer: select File > Open, select All

files (*.*) as the file type and then select a JavaScript file.
