Style sheets and JavaScript files related to the COTG form itself and others related to
the Foundation framework (see above). The style sheets can be found in the Stylesheets
folder on the Resources pane. The JavaScript files are located in the JavaScript folder on
the Resources pane.

A collection of snippets in the Snippets folder on the Resources pane. The snippets
contain ready-to-use parts to build the web form. Double-click to open them. See
"Snippets" on page464 and "Loading a snippet via a script" on page543 for information
about using Snippets.
The Wizard opens the Web section, so that you can fill the Capture OnTheGo form.
6. Make sure to set the action and method of the form: select the form and then enter the
action and method on the Attributes pane.
The action of a Capture OnTheGo form should specify the Workflow HTTP Server Input task
that receives and handles the submitted data. The action will look like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/action (8080 is Workflow's default port number; 'action' should be
replaced by the HTTP action of that particular HTTP Server Input task).
The method of a Capture OnTheGo form should be POST to ensure that it doesn't hit a data
limit when submitting the form. The GET method adds the data to the URL, and the length of a
URL is limited to 2048 characters. Especially forms containing one or more Camera inputs may
produce a voluminous data stream that doesn't fit in the URL. GET also leaves data trails in log
files, which raises privacy concerns. Therefore POST is the preferred method to use.
Filling a COTG template
Before inserting elements in a COTG Form, have the design ready; see "Designing a COTG
Template" on page364.
In a Capture OnTheGo form, you can use special Capture OnTheGo Form elements, such as a
Signature and a Barcode Scanner element; see "COTG Elements" on page438 and "Using
COTG Elements" on page375.
Foundation, the framework added by the COTG template wizards, comes with a series of
features that can be very useful in COTG forms; see "Using Foundation" on page372.
