XML output of a form after submission?

Avatar

Level 2

Hi,

Iv'e been tasked with creating a form rendered in HTML format, filled out, submitted with the results (a single XML file or String) written to a named database/table/field.

When the submit button is pressed, I need to somehow capture the output of the form in XML with the fieldname and the field value that was entered present. How and where do I create an 'action' or process to be run behind the Submit button to create this output? Ideally I'd like to be able to submit the form and map the ouput xml String to a field in a table in a database.

Any ideas how all of this can be done? This is my first Form so please bear with me...

Thanks!

You can place a submit button on the form. On the standard palette choose a button object. In the Object palette make it a submit button. A new Submit tab is available. All of your submit options appear on that tab.

You will have to submit to a server based program and that program will have to do the database update.
