Setting Up article.html

This page is edited in the same manner as Customizable WebPAC Forms. The article.html custom form uses the following tokens:

<!--{action}--> This token generates the <FORM> tags for the custom form. If this token is not used, you must enclose the remaining token between <FORM> tags formatted as follows:

<FORM NAME=OpenURL ACTION="http://<Innovative server>:<port>/resserv?" TARGET="openURLWin">

Where <Innovative server> is the URL of your Innovative server (e.g., www.lib.edu) and <port> is the port number set in the RESSERV_PORT Web option.
<!--{titleauthor}--> This token inserts the table entries for Article Title, Journal Title, Short Journal Title, and Author as well as the HTML text boxes.
<!--{dateissue}--> This token inserts the table entries for Date, Start Page, End Page, Volume, Issue, Season, and Quarter as well as the HTML text boxes.
<!--{numericid}--> This token inserts the table entries for ISSN, EISSN, and CODEN as well as the HTML text boxes.
<!--{submit}--> This token inserts the Find Article button. This token is required for this custom form to work.
