Using HTML forms

Note

You can use the Forms Manager to view the status of the submitted form. See “Using the Forms Manager” on page 107.

4.Synchronize your mobile device to send the form to the website.

See the documentation that came with your Palm OS device for instructions.

Displaying the response

M-Business Server may respond to a form submission in one of two ways:

The server may alter the channel pages that you initially downloaded.

For example, suppose you subscribe to a financial channel and every time you synchronize, your channel updates a page that shows the current prices of a list of stocks you had selected earlier. You might submit a form to change the list of stocks you want to watch. In this case, the server responds by changing the page that displays the current prices to reflect your new list.

To look at the server's response, select the channel.

The server may send down a separate response page.

Suppose you submit a form to the same channel, but this time you want to buy shares of a stock. There are no channel pages to alter. Instead, the server downloads a new response page to the Forms Manager that confirms your order.
