F

face: Within a file, *.tag, defines the face which can be place on a tame button.

<tame>
face: *TAGNAME* BUTTON-FACE-TEXT DOCUMENT-LOCATION HTML-OPTION-LIST
</tame>

TAGNAME:

The name to use as the tag name for the image.

HTML-OPTION-LIST:

List of options for the image. Can include any valid options for the HTML <image> tag.

Example:

<tame face: *buy* buy buy.gif alt="[ Buy ]" width=82 height=28 border=0>

Adding this command to *.tag file will provide a "buy button" that can be used on a tame page by using the syntax {*buy*}.

foreach: Iterates through all the rows in the table. foreach will generate a HTML/TAME area for each row of the table designated by the workwith command. This tag established a context of a particular row, therefore the row indicator in the data retrieval tags can be omitted.
<tame foreach:: HTML-AREA>: Note the double colons.

HTML-AREA:

The HTML to format the data and the TAME command to retrieve the required information from a table.

Note: foreach must be used with the workwith command.

Example:

<table width=50% cellpadding=1 border=2>
<tr><td>ITEM</td> <td>PRICE</td> <td>DESCRIPTION</td> <td>SELECT TO PURCHASE</td></tr>
<tame workwith: data>
<tame foreach::
<tr><td>{?item}</td>
<td>{?price}</td>
<td>{?descrip}</td>
<td><tame ^buy: {?item}></td></tr>
>
<tame /workwith>
</table>

This example will provide the item, price, description and a buy button for each item in the table data. The information will be presented on the page within a HTML table.

field-name: The column name of a field in a database. The field is distingished by a ? at the beginning of the name.

{?FIELD-NAME}

Example:

<tame form>
<tame workwith: product.tdb>
ITEM NUMBER: {?item}<br>
PRICE: {?item,price}<br>
DESCRIPTION: {?item,descrip}<br>
<tame /workwith>
<tame /form>

This example presents an item with price and description to the customer.

G

getcart: Accesses variables saved in the cart for presentation.
<tame getcart: VARIABLE >

H

hidden: An input type that allows for information store with a page to be hidden from view.

Example:

<tame hidden: computer.item computer>
<tame hidden: computer.qty 1>
<tame buysubmit: Go to order page>

Using the hidden input type, the computer item code and quantity values are associated with the page, but are not visible to the customer. The buysubmit will add the computer to the shopping cart.

I

image

Defines a tame image that can be placed in documents as a single tag or used within other tame commands.

<tame>

image: *TAGNAME* DOCUMENT-LOCATION HTML-OPTION-LIST

</tame>

TAGNAME:: The name to use as the tag name for the image.

HTML-OPTION-LIST:: List of options for the image. Can include any valid options for the HTML <image> tag.

Example:

<tame image: *ball* /images/ball.gif alt="*" width=14 height=14 align=bottom>

See also: place, ^goto, define, face, creating tags

include: ...

input_quality

input_quality2

input_qty

ITEM: Item code corresponding to an item entry in the product database. When the ITEM is already being supplied by another input box or hidden variable on the page, leave off the arguments or make the ITEM argument null by using an empty pair of square brackets [ ].

item_image: ??

TEXT/IMAGE1

Text or image to display if the item-code is not in the cart.

TEXT/IMAGE2

Text or image to display if the item-code is in the cart.

Note: This feature is not sensitive to item qualities. It detects only the existence of the item code in the cart. It does not differentiate between items with different qualities such as "color", "size", etc. A red shoe1 in the cart will be the same as a green shoe1 in the cart.

N

new_query modifier is born.

You need this modifier on your e15.tam page where you goto the e15all.tam page since you are not using pass to pass any
information. If you don't use this modifier, the page retrieval sequence you were on the last time you were on the page will be
used. I.e. you won't necessarily start out on hit 1.

Rules:

Using new_query on a link will make sure the page starts out on hit 1.
When you use pass on a link, you don't need new_query.

Please add this modifier to the doc in the same section as the pass modifier.

O

Outside: ^link modifier. Creates a link outside of tamespace to another domain or a pure html page. When a customer passes through an ouside link, tame will loose the lock on the customer's identity. Pure html pages can be displayed using outside links as long as the customer is requried to use the browser back button to continue browsing. A link from a html page will ot contain tame tracking information such as the shopping cart.

P

pass: This modifier of ^link and ^goto tags is used to pass variables to another page. The variables included in the pass on the page where the link is initiated will be passed to and remembered on the destination page. In addition, the database context of the workwith area containing this tag will be passed and remembered on the destination page. The passed data will be available on the destination page as &VARIABLES. This modifier must end with a semicolon (;) before the tag name.

Note: If the tag contains ?FIELDNAME variables, it must be contained inside of a workwith area.

Note: To move variable outside the context of a query, use the transfer or carry modifier.

<tame> pass: &VARIABLE-NAME ?FIELD-NAME . . .; ^LINK/^GOTO: DOCUMENT-LOCATION HTML-ARGUMENT-AREA</tame>

Note: Multiple &VARIABLES or ?FIELD-NAMES can be included in a pass. They should be separated by a space.

Note: Review the use and position of the semicolon.

Note: A ^goto must be used inside a form area to create a submission button which will acquire input variable from the browser to present on the next page.

Example:

<tame>
pass: ?item &dept &size; ^goto: details.tam {*pointer*}
</tame>

This example will pass the field-name, item, and the variables, dept and size, to the page details.tam.

See Also: ^goto, ^link, variables, carry, transfer

passgate: Password protects a page when placed at the top. By placing this tag lower in the page, only the remaining part of the page is protected.

<tame> passgate </tame>

Example:

Q

R

radio: Creates a HTML radio button element. Can prefill value automatically.
<tame radio: VARIABLE VALUE>

VALUE:

Optional value for the button. When not given, value is taken from the assigned variable.

Example:

<tame checked radio: color red> Red
<tame radio: color green> Green
<tame radio: color blue> Blue

In this example three radio buttons will appear with the text Red, Green or Blue next to each one. The red button will be checked as the default.

Modifier: checked
