==Introduction== HTML variables are the method by which an editing application passes data to a HTTP POST application, which submits the information. In the ISFDB, there are numerous editing and submission applications, along with a broad number of HTML variables passed between these applications. However, for major editing applications there are a standardized set of HTML variables, such that the appropriate [[Python Object Classes|object class]] can parse them. As such, these are organized in the same manner as the object classes. ==Usage== The variable names are supplied to an INPUT tag in an HTML form as a NAME attribute. If editing a field which already has a value in the database, the form will be prefilled appropriately, allowing the user to edit the field in the browser: <nowiki><INPUT NAME="author_canonical" SIZE="45" VALUE="Robert A. Heinlein"></nowiki> If the field has no current value, an empty data entry box will be rendered by the browser: <nowiki><INPUT NAME="author_deathdate" SIZE="45"></nowiki> The user is free to place any text they desire in the edit fields. It is up to the submission application to validate the data. ==Standard HTML Variables== * [[HTMLvariables:authors]] - Used to edit author information. * [[HTMLvariables:awards]] - used to edit award information. * [[HTMLvariables:interviewEntry]] - used to edit interview information. * [[HTMLvariables:publishers]] - used to edit interview content information. * [[HTMLvariables:pubs]] - used to edit interview information. * [[HTMLvariables:reviewEntry]] - used to edit review content information. * [[HTMLvariables:series]] - used to edit series information * [[HTMLvariables:titleEntry]] - used to edit title content information. * [[HTMLvariables:titles]] - used to edit title information.
