OpenEdge Application Server:<br />Developing WebSpeed Applications Using <META> and  tags

Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Developing WebSpeed Applications

Using <META> and  tags

WebSpeed supports <META> tags and  custom tags to specify how an embedded SpeedScript file is to be preprocessed. These tags provide two types of information:

Whether (and how) a SpeedScript include file or a procedure file (Web object) is generated from the embedded SpeedScript file.

How the embedded SpeedScript Web object outputs HTTP header information.

The following sections describe how to specify this information using <META> tags. However, some authoring tools allow you to specify <META> tags only in the header section (starting with the <HEAD> tag) of a Web page. If you are writing an HTML file fragment that is part of a Web page body, there is no place to include <META> tags, especially for file type information. WebSpeed provides the  custom tag to work around this.

To use this WebSpeed tag in an embedded SpeedScript file, include the same options in the  custom tag that you ordinarily include in the <META> tag. The  custom tags are preprocessed exactly like <META> tags.

In the following sections, you can replace <META> tag references with  tag references unless notified otherwise.
