ZD-Comments

Using Zot-Dispatch's template substitution, ZD-Comments substitutes the name of the document being commented on, the URL of that document, the address to which the comments should be sent, and other document identification information into a comment form template which is then returned to the users client to be filled out and sent.

As an example, including the following in a document will create a button which, when pressed, would create a comment form on the fly:

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.oac.uci.edu/cgi-bin/zd-2.0.cgi">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=DOC-URL 
        VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=DOC-ID
        VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=DOC-TITLE
        VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=SEND-TO
        VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=ZD-Method
