To insert a button that sends an email that includes XML data

You can create your own email submit button or use the email submit button from the Object Library palette.

1.	Add a button to the form design. See To add objects to a form design.

2.	In the Object palette, click the Field tab.

3.	In the Control Type area, select Submit. Data will be submitted according to the settings in the Submit tab.

4.	Click the Submit tab and, in the Submit to URL box, type the mailto protocol as shown in the following example:

mailto:username@domain.com

5.	Select XML Data (XML) from the Submit As list.

This format sends an XML data stream, which allows for the hierarchical representation of data and can be parsed by any generic XML parser. Choose this format if the server that communicates with the run-time user application program must receive an XML data steam.

6.	(Optional) To apply a data signature to the submitted data, select Sign Submission in the Field tab and then click Settings to configure optional signature settings.

7.	In the Encoding list, select one of the data encoding schemes:

•

UTF-8

•

UTF-16

•

Shift_JIS

•

Big5

•

GBK

•

KSC_5601
