TeamSite (5.5.2) Templating Question

littlelise

I'm fairly new to TeamSite and the whole Interwoven Product Suite and I am guessing my question will be a doddle (easy - for you non brits :-)

I need a 'Agree to Terms and Conditions' hyperlink from a datacapture form, that will allow the user entering data to click the link, have a popup window come up with some text and a checkbox. When the user checks to box or clicks a "I agree"button on that popup window, it writes this back to the form field from whence they came.

Can anyone furnish me with the correct code/syntax?

Thanks in Advance!!

I believe you could accomplish what you want in [at least] two ways:
1) Using a cgi-callout field (button) in your DCT - have the callout run a CGI script that presents the information along with the prompt and then set some [probably hidden] field in the DCT/DCR indicating either an active agreement or disagreement (e.g. "no", "yes", or "" to indicate that they have not selected anything) The CGI will utilize javascript to write the data back into the DCT/DCR and possibly for handling other parts of the display / prompt interaction.

2) You might be able to do this using FormAPI directly within the DCT, without using a cgi-callout button or link - just have the code create a dialog box prompt when the DCT is loaded, and again, adjust values in the DCT/DCR based upon the user's response.

I don't have the specific code/syntax to give you - but there's a fair amount of documentation (both in these forums and in the manuals) regarding the javascript needed to interact with the DCT/DCR form - and there's a fair amount of material out there on the web and in print regarding writing javascript and CGI programs.
