<form>

New to Version 2.0: This is the root tag of all XMod forms as of version 2.0. The old root tag <controls> is now a child of the <form> tag. Currently, the <form> tag has one attribute, used to tell XMod if the layout of the form is a standard format (where XMod creates your form in a table with your control labels in the left column and the controls in the right column) or a custom layout where you pretty much control the look and layout of the form using standard HTML. For more information on creating your own layout, see the <literal> tag page.

EXAMPLES:

Here's an example of a custom layout form - albeit an ugly one ;)

<form format="custom">

  <parameters>

    <parameter name="uid" alias="UserId" default="-1"></parameter>

  </parameters>

  <controls>

    <literal>

      <!--Everything in here is HTML -->

      <table style="border: 1px blue solid; width=400px;">

<tr>

  <td><h2>Welcome To My Custom Form</h2></td>

</tr>

      </table>

      <table width="400" cellpadding="3">

        <tr>

          <td style="background-color:maroon; color:white;">

            Your Name:</td>

          <td>

    </literal>

            <input ref="UserName" width="250px" class="NormalTextBox">

              <label>Your Name</label>

            </input>

    <literal>

          </td>

        </tr>

      </table>

    </literal>

    <hidden ref="CustomerId">{UserId}</hidden>

  </controls>

</form>

This is an example of a standard form layout. XMod will put the <label> contents for each control into the left column and the control itself in the right column of a table.

<form>

  <controls>

    <input ref="Album" width="250px">

      <label>Album Title:</label>

      <info caption="Help" class="Normal" visibility="visible">Enter the title of the CD, LP, or Cassette</info>

    </input>

    <input ref="Artist" width="250px">

      <label>Artist: </label>

    </input>

  </controls>

</form>
