INPUT Element : Type YORN
INPUT Element : Type YORN
The YORN input is used to collect “yes or no” responses from the user. This input maps a variety of affirmative and negative responses to the values “Y” and “N”, simplifying the work of the application developer in interpreting this type of user response.
Syntax
<INPUT TYPE="YORN" NAME="value" [TIMEOUT="value"] NEXT="value" [NEXTMETHOD="value"] />
or
<INPUT TYPE="YORN" [NAME="value"] [TIMEOUT="value"] [NEXT="value" [NEXTMETHOD="value"] ] > CASE elements </INPUT>

Examples
1 <STEP NAME="ask">
2<PROMPT> Fire the missles now? </PROMPT>
3<INPUT TYPE="YORN" NAME="fire" NEXT="#confirm"/>
4</STEP>
In this example, we use the YORN input type to collect a “yes or no” response from the user, store that response into the VoxML variable named “fire”, and then go to the STEP named “confirm”.
The YORN input type stores the value “Y” for affirmative responses and the value “N” for negative responses. Affirmative and negative responses are determined using an input grammar that maps various user responses to the appropriate result.
