OBTAINING
A KEY : Ob taining data from a form
Dreamweaver allows
you to create your form; however, before you can actually use your form you
must obtain a key for each form you have created. A key is not required for
this tutorial but you will need one when you actually create a form to be used
on your web site. Keys may be obtained using the Submit Key Setup Tool at
http://www.smart/tools/submit_setup.htm .
Note: When
you receive data from the server for a submit button of your form, it will be in
alphabetical order by the name you give each form item in its properties.
Therefore, it is very important that you name the fields of your form so that
the data is returned to you in the order you prefer. For example, if you have
named your fields Name, Street, and City under the field properties, the server
will return the data in City, Name, Street order.
Note: If
using numerical values in your fields, be sure to name them considering the
maximum numerical value that will be used. For example, if you have Field1,
Field2, and Field11, the server will return them in Field1, Field11, Field2
order. However, if you have Field01, Field02, Field11, the server will return
them in Field01, Field02, Field11 order.
