To create fields that let the end user enter a page number a layout number, use HTML like

the following:

<TR>

<TD>

<INPUT id=PageTxt value = "Page"

readOnly style="WIDTH: 50px; HEIGHT: 22px" size=3>

</TD>

<TD>

<input id=Page size="16" maxlength="256"

style="WIDTH: 147px; HEIGHT: 22px">

</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD>

<INPUT id=LayoutTxt value = "Layout"

readOnly style ="WIDTH: 50px; HEIGHT: 22px" size=4>

</TD>

<TD>

<input id=Layout size="16" maxlength="256"

style="WIDTH: 147px; HEIGHT: 22px">

</TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

To create a button that lets the end user submit the request, use HTML like the following:

<input type="submit" value="Render document"

name="Submit" LANGUAGE="javascript"

onclick="return Submit_onclick()"/>

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>

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).
