NAME

ns_formvalueput - Sets the value of input elements in HTML documents

SYNOPSIS

ns_formvalueput htmlpiece dataname datavalue

DESCRIPTION

This command sets the value of an HTML input element with NAME=dataname (of any type) to the given datavalue. In the following descriptions, all attribute names are handled in case-insensitive fashion (as required by HTML)

The elements (tags) & types supported are:

• INPUT

image

ignored

submit

ignored

reset

ignored

checkbox

will be checked if the NAME attribute matches the datavalue (case-insensitive)

radio

will be selected if the NAME attribute matches the datavalue (case-insensitive)

any other

If the NAME attribute matches the dataname, the VALUE attribute will be set to the datavalue

• TEXTAREA

If the NAME attribute matches the dataname, all the enclosed text up to the next </textarea> tag will be replaced by the datavalue.

• SELECT

If the NAME attribute of the SELECT tag matches the dataname, this will find the first enclosed OPTION tag with a VALUE attribute that matches datavalue, and set its SELECTED attribute. All other enclosed OPTION tags will have their SELECTED attribute removed.

EXAMPLES

NOTES

• This procedure requires that Ns_tagelement not return the trailing > for elements. That feature of Ns_tagelement sometimes confuses people.
