Chapter 1 Dynamo Tags

Dynamo tags versus DynaScript

The Dynamo tags described in this chapter provide the functionality that is normally associated with a programming language such as JavaScript or DynaScript. If you are more comfortable with HTML and do not require the flexibility of DynaScript, you can use the Dynamo tags to manipulate your Web site documents. The following table displays the Dynamo tags with their DynaScript equivalent.

Dynamo tag	DynaScript equivalent
COMPONENT	connection/CreateComponent
DATA	query/GetValue()
DOCUMENT	Select properties of the document object
ELSE	else
ELSEIF	if-else
ENDIF	}
EVALUATE	N/A
EXECUTE	system.Exec()
FORMATTING	N/A
IF	if
INCLUDE	output=site.Include(scriptName); document.WriteLn(output);
LABEL	query/GetColumnLabel()
MAILPIECE	mp = new MailPiece();
SCRIPT	N/A
SQL	connection/CreateQuery()
SQL_ERROR_CODE	query/GetErrorCode()
SQL_ERROR_INFO	query/GetErrorInfo()
SQL_INSERT	N/A
SQL_ON_ERROR	if (SQL.GetErrorCode()!=0) { ...
SQL_ON_NO_ERROR	if (SQL.GetErrorCode()==0) { ...
SQL_ON_ROWS	if (!SQL.GetEmpty()) { ...
SQL_ON_NO_ROWS	if (SQL.GetEmpty()) { ...
SQL_STATE	document.Write(SQL.GetState());
