New XAP Controls and File Upload
New Controls
These new controls can be added to your #XAP file, and will change how XAP builds the keyed file containing query key/value pairs.
WRITEEMPTYFIELDS
Force XAP to write keys to the CGIFILE even if the value is empty.
By default, XAP will skip writing keys to the CGIFILE if the value in the key/value pair is empty. For instance, if you have
<input type="text" name="stringinput" />
and the form is submitted with no text in the input field, then XAP will NOT write Q.STRINGINPUT into the CGIFILE.
By including
WRITEEMPTYFIELDS TRUE
into your #XAP file, even if the value in the text input is empty, there will be a Q.STRINGINPUT key in the CGIFILE, with a blank record for the value.
URLDECODEKEYS
Tell XAP to decode special characters when writing the keys in the CGIFILE.
By default, XAP will NOT decode special characters inside the keys of the CGIFILE. Special characters include, for example, '(', '[', and '%' which are encoded as '%28', '%5B', and '%25' respectively.
So if we have a input field for text named like this:
<input type="text" name="stringinput[]" />
XAP will write the key for this input field into the CGIFILE as Q.STRINGINPUT%5B%5D
By including
URLDECODEKEYS TRUE
into your #XAP file, you can force XAP to write the encoded characters as they were originally intended. In this case, Q.STRINGINPUT[]
