Website Scripting Macros

Here's a page of useful macros you can add to Frontier's website macro environment.

You can download the collection of macros from:

formMacro

This macro turns a specially formatted outline into an HTML form. Install standardMacros.formMacro and scratchpad.sampleForm.

Here's how you call it:

{formMacro (@scratchpad.sampleForm)}

You can learn a lot by looking at the sample form.

• The macro traverses the outline and builds the HTML text for the form.

• The main head contains the URL for CGI script.

• Each subhead describes on of the form elements. Supported types are onelinetext, mailaddress, and textarea. Each objects have subheads which further describe the object.

• Lines that are commented are skipped. You can put comments on lines in the same way you do it with Frontier scripts, with the left-chevron, entered by pressing option-backslash.
