default

ATTRIBUTES

Attribute	Pos.	Req.	Default	Description
name	Yes	Yes		Name of the form variable.
default	Yes	Yes	`default`	Default value to return if the specified variable is missing or evaluates to a false value.
values_space				Specify "values space" in which to perform the operation.
set				Set form field variable value to the specified content.
filter				Apply specified filter to the variable content. The application of a filter actually modifies the variable value in-place (in addition to, of course, displaying the filtered content).
keep			0	Only apply filter for display, and do not modify actual variable value?
scratch			0	Along with setting a form field value, also create the variable/content pair in the scratch space?
enable_itl			0	Allow ITL tags to appear in the output? By default, all "`[`" characters are encoded as "`[`".
enable_html			0	Allow HTML tags to appear in the output? By default, all "`<`" characters are encoded as "`<`".
interpolate			0	interpolate output?
hide			0	Hide the tag return value?

DESCRIPTION

The tag returns the named form input field value. Any Interchange tags in the output are HTML- and ITL-escaped by default for security reasons.

This tag is very similar to [value], except that it provides the default value for the default= parameter.

BEHAVIOR

This tag does not appear to be affected by, or affect, the rest of Interchange.

EXAMPLES

Example: displaying user's first name

Hello, [default fname Anonymous]!

Example: displaying user's first name in a modifiable field

<form action="[process]">
  Hello, <input type="text" name="fname" value="[default fname Anonymous]" />!
</form>

TODO: Add a submit button

Example: displaying user's first name, or falling back to the default

Hello, [default fname Anonymous]!
