What are the parameter types?
The parameter types define the way they are passed to the widget. Available types are:
*
Use in widget's URL - the parameter names and values will be appended to the widget's URL, for example:
<object data="http://path-to-widget?param1=val1¶m2=val2">
*
Use in widget's params - Flash and Java widgets accept parameters using <param> tags:
<param name="param1" value="val1">
<param name="param2" value="val2">
*
Use in widget's FlashVars - Flash widgets accept a special parameter called FlashVars. This is sent as follows:
<param name="FlashVars" value="param1=val1¶m2=var2">
*
Use in widget's source - DHTML widgets can contain parameter placeholders in their source, such as:
Hello, ${param1}
or
Hello, {$param1}
At runtime, these occurences will be replaced with the parameter's actual value.
Parameters can be sent using multiple types.
