NAME

Communiware::DE::Script - Dynamic element Script

SYNOPSIS

   <:Script name text [[fieldlist] class]:>

DESCRIPTION

This dynamic element generates link to Communiware script. Scripts differ from items several ways. Particulary, they don't know beforehand to which server they belong, so server name should be passed as parameter. Often, scripts also require url of refering page to be able to return user there when desired action is completed. Dynamic elemet script handles all this features.

Since introduction of new form handling system in version 0.8, this dynamic element is considered obsolete.

Scripts directory may be eliminated entirely in future versions of Communiware.
