Content Upload
The content upload feature lets a user upload content to the server. The
server returns a response in the editor. For instance, the response could
summarize the content that was uploaded to the server.
An example of this feature would be a nurse who needs patient information.
The nurse enters patient data, uploads it, and receives information back from
the server about the patient without refreshing the page. The nurse could
then correct information on the received data and submit it to the server.
Content Upload, part of the Automatic Upload feature, works like Automatic
Upload in that
1. Content is uploaded in a form.
2. The server retrieves the field value.
3. The server responds to the client.
NOTE The Content Upload feature is configured in the configuration data. So,
unless you need to change something, the client scripting does not need to
change the configuration for a client upload.
Retrieving Content from eWebEditPro
The Content Upload Command
To retrieve editor content, you can use the upload command or the
GetContent method. Both use a standard set of content types to specify the
kind of information to retrieve from the editor. As examples
• client side JavaScript uses GetContent to retrieve the HTML header for
processing
• the content upload command sends the content as RTF to the server
The rest of this chapter explains how to use the content upload feature
through these subtopics:
• ”The Content Upload Command” on page 500
• ”The Receiving Page” on page 505
• ”Content Types” on page 507
• ”Content Setting API” on page 501
The Content Upload’s command is cmdmfuuploadcontent. When this
command is given to the editor (either through the menu bar or client
scripting), the content is uploaded to the server. This content does not reach
the client-side JavaScript or the form.
