To insert a submit button that sends an XML data stream        

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 type the URL protocol in the Submit to URL box.

 

To	Use this URL protocol	Example
Submit the package to an ftp site	ftp	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GPL
Submit the package to a web server	http	http://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to a secure web server	https	https://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to an email address	mailto	mailto:username@domain.com

Note:

When submitting data to a URL, we recommend that you specify an absolute target. Relative targets are interpreted relative to the user environment, which can vary from one user to the next at run time.

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

This format submits 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.
