Using Forms for Output

This is the final approach to Output. Generally speaking, you can't change the contents of a page after it has been written. Using this approach your CAN! Unfortunately you can only change the contents of a "Text Field", but that should be sufficient for most applications. In this example the contents of a Text Field is changed when a button is pressed.

Click in the "Result" column to see how the change operates. When you have finished remember to close the Sub Window.
