Certain restrictions apply when using the Tamino forms handler. These restrictions are described in this section. The following topics are covered:

• Mixed Content

• Encoding types

• Context of _HTMLreq command

---

Mixed Content

The forms handler supports mixed content in cases where the text content of a given element precedes all child elements of the given element. However, the creation of arbitrary mixed content where text content and child elements appear in any order (other than in the case just mentioned), such as in:

<para>this is <em>bold</em> text</para>

is not supported.

Encoding types

The forms handler is only guaranteed to work with HTML forms using:

Method="POST" Enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

which is the default encoding type. The forms handler is not designed to work with:

Enctype="multipart/form-data".

Context of _HTMLreq command

Tamino analyses the list of parameters as they occur. After receiving the _HTMLReq command, Tamino assumes that all following verbs belong to the context of the HTMLReq command.
