Next comes an HTML form section that includes embedded SpeedScript
expression escapes. This "Jump to"
form allows
the user to specify a starting Customer Name other than the default
(the first) in alphabetical order:
Part 2 of browse.html

comments are added to work
around certain defaults enforced by Microsoft FrontPage. For more information, see the
Microsoft documentation on FrontPage.
SelfURL
is a WebSpeed global variable provided in
install-path/src/web/method/cgidefs.i that
contains the URL of this Web object, relative to the server root directory.
{&Filter-Field}-key
is a local Web object variable (defined
earlier) that specifies the filter for a database query. The embedded SpeedScript
preprocessor changes &
to &
so a legal
SpeedScript preprocessor reference ({&Filter-Field}
) appears in the Web
object source code. Finally, jumpto-value
is the most recent Customer Name
specified by the user to start the query.
Note that the embedded SpeedScript preprocessor turns this entire HTML form section into
SpeedScript statements that appear in the DO
block started earlier.
