Correction to ECMAScript variable in the <submit> tag
SUMMARY:' The <submit> tag description contains inaccurate information:
Submitted ECMAScript objects in the namelist are not flattened.
The next publication of the GVP 8.1 Voice XML Help will include these revisions:
REMOVE this text:
When submitting ECMAScript objects in the namelist, the object will be flattened (all the object's properties will be submitted separately). For example, if object o has two properties, p1 and p2, such that o.p1="value1" and o.p2="value2", and the following transition is made:
<submit next="test.jsp" namelist="o" ...>
The HTTP request will contain o.p1=value1&o.p2=value2. Remember to retrieve the properties separately (as o.p1 and o.p2) in the server-side code used to generate the next page.
REPLACE with this text:
When an ECMAScript variable is submitted to the server its value is first converted into a string before being submitted. If the variable is an ECMAScript Object, its value would take on the ECMAScript string “[object]”. For example, if object o has two properties, p1 and p2, such that o.p1="value1" and o.p2="value2", and it should be submitted separately as o.p1 & o.p2
<submit next="test.jsp" namelist="o.p1 o.p2" >
