SPWF01 - unique IDs for SSI <!--#input--> tags

Hi,

Is there any way of assigning a unique ID to a &sharpinput tag in html, so that when I get the WIND:56: message prompting for data input, I dont have to worry about figuring out which page has been served? At the moment I just get the index as expected, 1, 2, 3 etc, so my only idea is to write a state machine and use output.cgi to output the name of the page being navigated to, to set the state, so then I know *which* data index 1, 2, 3 are actually requesting. :( This seems really laborious, and would mean that browser back and forward buttons wouldn't work unless there is a way of calling output.cgi on a page load... I have the shtml structure working, but it seems like knowing which page+index is being requested would be a very common requirement so wanted to ask before re-inventing the wheel. Can anyone point me at the CGI&SSI Application Note that I have seen mentioned in other threads? I dont seem to be able to find it anywhere and I'm hoping it might offer some more information. The &sharpinput seems non-standard, but I'm guessing it's the only SSI tag supported? Thanks in advance. Jamie. #spwf01-wifi-ssi-tag-cgi

Hi Jamie,

since FW3.4, input SSI allow some TAG to be used inside it.Example (all of these are valid TAGs):- #input (basic...)- #input:placeholder- #input:placeholder:1- #input:placeholder:1_1- #input:identifier:placeholder:otherThe idea was to allow external MCU to recognize both the remote client (identifier) and the place inside the webpage (placeholder) and other (if needed).j

Great! Is this documented anywhere? I'm wondering if there is any other useful info I am missing! :)
