You can author an embedded SpeedScript file in most any Web authoring tool or in the Procedure Window in the AppBuilder. (You can start the Procedure Window from the AppBuilder main window by selecting Tools>New Procedure Window.)
Most authoring tools accept some or all of the WebSpeed options for embedding SpeedScript. While an authoring tool might not accept some embedded SpeedScript options, there are usually alternative options available to accomplish the same end. Pure text editors like vi and the Procedure Window accept all of the embedded SpeedScript options.
Embedded SpeedScript options consist of a set of tags, some of which are created for WebSpeed and some that exist in other products. To minimize the chance of conflict, avoid using tags that are used by other server-side environments unless you have no other alternative. For more information, see
How to embed SpeedScript in HTML.
To create an embedded SpeedScript file using the Procedure Window in the AppBuilder, click on File>New. Then, select Blank from the list of Web objects in the New dialog box. The Procedure Window opens with an HTML template containing basic syntax to enter embedded SpeedScript options.
Note: Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge is an Eclipse-based OpenEdge product that supports creating and managing WebSpeed applications. It contains full-featured editors for editing HTML, Embedded SpeedScript, and CGI Wrapper files. In many respects, OpenEdge Developer Studio is an excellent alternative to the AppBuilder and other tools for WebSpeed application development. For more information, see the Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge help in the Development Tools section of the
OpenEdge Product Documentation.
