Example
The following script adds a <base> element to the head of a web page.
results.append("<base href='https://www.w3schools.com/images/'
target='_blank'>");
Forms
Web templates can contain Forms. Capture OnTheGo templates always contain a Form.
Tip
To create a Capture OnTheGo template, preferably use a Template Wizard (see "Capture
OnTheGo template wizards" on page573). The Wizard doesn't just add the form, it also
adds the necessary Capture OnTheGo form elements (see "COTG Elements" on
page700), style sheets and JavaScript files, and extra pre-made elements.
Adding a Form
This procedure describes how to add a Form element to an existing Web context.
1. On the Resources pane, expand the Web context and double-click a Web page to open
it.
2. To use the Form Wizard, select the Insert > Form Wizard menu option. The Form Wizard
adds a Form to the Web page including the specified fields.
Alternatively, you can select Insert > Form on the menu to open a dialog that lets you set
the Form's properties, validation method and location, but doesn't allow you to specify
fields. If you choose this method, skip step 8 and 9 of this procedure and add fields after
inserting the Form (see "Adding elements to a Form" on page552).
3. Add an ID and/or a class. ID's and classes are particularly useful with regard to variable
data (see "Personalizing content" on page780) and styling (see "Styling templates with
CSS files" on page738).
4. In the Action field, enter the URL where the form data should be sent. The URL should
be a server-side script that can accept form data. 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
