FORM

The FORM tag defines an interactive form and is used in the agent web interface in its standard format with additional BMC Software specific functionality. For more information about the FORM tag in general. refer to a standard HTML 4.0 reference.

Forms are generally created for data input. When the user submits the form through an input or button element the form values are submitted to the URL given in the form's required action attribute.

The FORM tag was extended by BMC Software through the htmlfile parameter to allow the agent interface to execute specific actions. It is not necessary to specifically include the action and method parameters, because they are directly included into the parser: action always is 'mwcparse' and method is 'post'.
