Element Component

Returns a specified number of elements from a site according to a given domain and query.

Function Names

Element — Used to return the elements. This is not a full HTML so it must be used with a Java applet.

URL Parameters

Name Possible Values Description
c first | last | prev | next | seek First gives you the first element and n after that.
Last gives you the last element and n before it.
Prev seeks to the e element and gives you n before it.
Next seeks to the e element and gives you n after it.
Seek seeks to the e element and gives you n around it.
q Query string with a wildcard in the position of what you want iterated. Determines what elements are returned. For example to list all fields you would use this query:

[Field, *]

To list all terms in a field named 'inflation' you would use this query:

[Field,inflation:*]

To list all terms that begin with 'a' you would use this query:

a*
e term Specifies the seek term. The position of this value depends upon the command you use (first, last, etc.).
n number The maximum number of terms that you want returned. This is a range around the term specified by the e parameter if the command is Seek.
d domain string Domain that you want the iterator to act upon.
text encoded HTML string Text that is written out for each element (when replacing the SELECT tag). This should be URL encoded.

Inside this text, pound characters (#) are replaced with the element text. Two pound characters (##) are replaced with a single pound character.

The element text can be put into this text (using the # character) at most 10 times. The default value for this parameter is %3COPTION+VALUE%3D%34#%34%3E# (or <OPTION VALUE=.#.>#).

Replacement Variables
