$lst_tit form$lst_titend$type_exec
$(lst_syntax)form $emph cmdvar$emphend</tt> <br>
$lst_mean Creates a html form pointing to the wims server. <br>
Whenever possible, this command should be used instead of a direct use of
html tag $emph<form>$emphend. <br>
This command will create a <form> tag pointing to the wims server, adding
<input> fields to pass session number (and other reserved things in the
future). In lines which follow, other input (or select) fields may be
added to the form. A final </form> tag should also be added by the
programmer. <br>
$emph cmdvar$emphend is an optional parameter. Its value should be a valid
value for the variable $emph cmd$emphend. In this case the value $emph
cmdvar$emphend will be automatically submitted to the variable $emph cmd
$emphend. If this parameter is missing or is invalid, then the programmer
should add a <input type=hidden name=cmd value=...> tag before the
final </form>. <p>
The target of the form can be controlled by the variable
$emph wims_ref_target
$emphend. It can also be
defined via an optional word
$emph target=...$emphend. Note that in this case the target must start with
$emph wims_$emphend.
<p>
The variable $emph wims_form_method $emphend which must be either `get' or
`post' controls the method of the form.
This method defaults to `post' for tool modules, and to `get' for all
other modules.
