Composing the Postback Message
The postback message can contain text or graphics, just like any
other HTML content. Typically, it acknowledges the site visitor’s
completion of the form.
For most sample forms provided, sample text appears in the editor.
Modify it as you wish, using Ektron CMS400.NET’s editor to change
the font size, style, color, insert library items, etc.
Inserting Fields into the Postback Message
You can also insert fields that retrieve form information upon its
submission. Use the Insert Fields pull-down to do this (illustrated
below).
