All of the example .HTM files are simple HTML forms that submit data to the XmlToWpp.ASP page. The ASP page pulls the information submitted from the form and formats that information into an XML Query that is then submitted to WebPublisher PRO. The ASP page then receives the XML response from WebPublisher PRO and pulls information from that response to notify the user of the success or failure of the update. The XmlToWpp.ASP page contains functions for each of the edit-over-the-Web functions and can be used as a model.
 

There are three pieces of information displayed by the ASP page. The top of the page displays the status of the update in HTML. The HTML text will notify the user if the record insert succeeded or failed and the reason why the insert may have failed. Below the text are two textarea boxes that display the raw XML that is sent to WebPublisher PRO and the XML that WebPublisher PRO returns in response to the XML insert.
 

In the Getting Started section, creating the XML Query string was covered in a generic fashion in the form of a JavaScript function for use in your ASP page. This section covers the code that needs to be written in the ASP page for adding records. The specific syntax for the function buildng the query for creating a new record is:
 

If any field being updated contains a validation list, you can specify an attribute on the AC tag of validation="VALUE", where VALUE can be one of update, override, or none. The default value is none and will reject the record if the term entered on the form is not on the list. For example:

There is also an attribute available for the AC tag for trimming any leading whitespace from the field value in the form, which accepts values of Y and N. The default value is N and will not trim the leading whitespace. For example:
 

In addition to specifying the textbase name and the action to perform, in this case INSERT, you can also use KeyFields to specify which fields will be returned in the XML returned by WebPublisher PRO.
 

The Recordset element is the parent of one or more Record elements. The Record element is the parent element for all of the field value elements. WebPublisher PRO extracts all of the values between the tags within the <Record></Record> tags and uses them for the field values in the textbase.
 

In the case of fields that do not have multiple entries, you can get the value by requesting the query string as described in the Getting Started.  For example:
 

For fields with multiple entries, call the makeMultiple function described in Getting Started. For example:
 

Note that it is safe to call makeMultiple for all fields, whether or not they can or do have multiple entries. When assembling the fields within the Record element, you can concatenate the values returned by the function calls with a  +.  For example:
 

Lastly, close off all of the open XML element tags—record, recordset, and query and return the output to the calling page to populate the variable.
