The above HTML calls a function named Submit_onclick(). You can add such a function
to the <HEAD> section of the HTML. For example:
<head>
<TITLE>Quark Stream</TITLE>
<script ID="clientEventHandlersJS" LANGUAGE="javascript">
function Submit_onclick() {
var prefix;
var renderer;
var file;
var url;
var box1Name;
var dataImportStamp = "@dataimport";
prefix = "http://" + document.getElementById("Server").value + ":";
port = document.getElementById("Port").value + "/";
renderer = document.getElementById("select1").value + "/";
file = document.getElementById("Doc").value;
box1Name = document.getElementById("box1").value;
if (box1Name != "") {
document.getElementById("box1File").name = box1Name + dataImportStamp;
} else {
document.getElementById("box1File").name = "";
}
document.getElementById("Page").name = "Page";
document.getElementById("Layout").name = "Layout";
url = prefix + port + renderer + file;
document.getElementById("form1").action = url;
}
</script>
</head>
The Submit_onclick() function reads the values from the formand builds a request URL
using the server, port, and render type.
If the end user specifies a file name in the "File on Server" text box, he or she must add
file: to the beginning of the file path (for example, file:C:\data.txt).
The code above adds @dataimport to the end of the box name to accommodate data
import.
The action of the form is defined by this line:
document.getElementById("form1").action = url;
This form's method is GET. The user agent gets the value (the URL) of the action, appends
a ? to it, adds the form data set, and submits the URL.
In this scenario, form data must be in ASCII.
Using HTTP GET with QXP Server Manager
HTTP GET with QuarkXPress Server Manager works the same way as HTTP GET with
QuarkXPress Server (see "Using HTTP GET with QXP Server"), except that Quark does not
recommend using GET if you are working with non-ASCII characters. The behavior of GET
requests with characters is highly browser-dependent, and there is no standard that all
browsers follow. Instead, use POST.
