HTML or XML variables
HTML or XML Variables

Variables can be incorporated into HTML or XML documents as an HTML or XML element. All documents parsed in HTML or XML format, i.e. with file extensions .htm/.html or .xml/.jnlp respectively (for Java Web Start) are parsed. The NetPhantom Variables have the format in HTML:

      <@variable@>

or in XML:

      <np-var value="variable"/>

where the variable is listed in the tables below.

When another HTML or XML element contains attributes, variable substitution is performed in these strings, e.g. in HTML:

      <applet codebase="@**FULLSRVNAME@"...
      <form method="POST" action="@**FULLSRVNAME@/mailform.cgi">

would perhaps be substituted to:

      <applet codebase="https://netphantom.com:8443"...
      <form method="POST" action="http://123.456.789.0/mailform.cgi">

before the document is sent to the requesting client. The same applies for XML documents, e.g.:

      <icon href="@**FULLSRVNAME@/mydir/mybitmap.jpg"/>

could be substituted to:

      <icon href="http://netphantom.com/mydir/mybitmap.jpg"/>

Variable substitution is also performed in e.g. JavaScript and can be very useful when e.g. setting focus (using the @**FOCUS@ variable) in a form.

See the tables below for valid variables.
