There are three ways in which you can encapsulate HTML code into your 4D application in order to customize the look of your forms:

1. Using the command SEND HTML FILE, you can send a Web page stored on disk.

2. A 4D form static text object, such as "{anyPage.HTM}", inserts the HTML document "anyPage.HTM" into the 4D form at the location of the static text object (note the curly braces).

3. Any 4D text variable in a form can encapsulate HTML code into a 4D form, provided its first character is ASCII code 1; i.e., vtHTML:=Char(1)+"...HTML code...".

In the last two cases, the resulting form on the Web brower side is the combination of the 4D and HTML objects. Note that when using a static text object, you insert a document in its entirety. When using a text variable, you insert pieces of code. Using SEND HTML FILE or form static text object, you can either use an existing HTML document or refer to a document that you have programmatically built and then saved on disk. You can build the HTML code in memory, using a text variable located in a form.
