<A HREF=aa.htm,bb.htm,cc.htm,dd.htm,ee.htm>In both cases, each time the link is clicked or the image is loaded, one of the files will be randomly choosen and displayed.
<PAGE>
Attributes:none
The<PAGE>
tag causes printing to end on the current page and a new page started. It has no effect on the displayed document.
<!--Include-->
This pseudo tag is used to insert a file, the current date, time, registration or refund information, I.D. or a key on a (HTML) page.
<!--#ID-->
<!--#PT-->
<!--#Regis-->
<!--#Time-->
<!--#Date-->
<!--#Refund-->
<!--#Include FILE="myfile.html"-->
Each tag would insert the appropriate content (I.D. key, Publication Title (PT), Registration information (Regis), Time, Date or File) into the current HTML document, at the insertion point. The text can also be inserted in a Form Text box.
Regis use: if the publication is unlocked regis will display "Unlocked publication".
If the publication is registered it will display "This publication is registered to" + the user name.
If the publication is locked and unregistered it will display "Unregistered publication" (language string 38).Refund use: it will display the refund code after doing a refund. If the page is accessed without doing a refund, it will not display anything.

With online web sites, you can write Web applications which process form input and produce result pages which are then sent back to the browser. This is usually done using "Common Gateway Interface" (CGI) calls. Local CGI gives HMViewer the same capability, except that the crafting of Local CGI applications is usually much easier than the online variety!
Just as with regular CGI, a Local CGI call is defined using the <FORM> tag's Method and Action attributes, e.g.
<form Action="notepad.exe" Method="output.htm">
The above statement tells HMViewer that when the submit button on the form is pressed, it should:
You can also use the HREF tag for a Local CGI call:
<A HREF="myprog.exe CGI=output.htm ITEM1=ALFA ITEM2=BETA">Submit CGI</A>
This will generate a file with this two lines:
ITEM1=ALFA ITEM2=BETA
EXE files referenced in Action statements (and also in direct HREF links) are assumed to be:
Form data is located in the Windows temporary directory and automatically erased once the CGI call is finished.
Once you know how to call your Local CGI program, you need only write the code to process the form data file. Then if necessary, have the program generate an HTML response page and open it in the HMViewer.
Using the macro commands of Hyper Maker you can realize usual tasks as shown below.
You can create links using this set of macro commands:
* Usually, the buttons that call the macros are located in a toolbar frame of your publication. In this situation, you need to specify which frame you want to print or use to display the search results, by filling in the appropriate Main Frame field, in the Interface page of the Publication Window.
