InputBox

With InputBox you can integrate HTML forms into wiki pages.  

What kind of InputBoxes can be created?

Typ	Ergebnis	Beschreibung
type=search		Creates a search box which has a default width of 50 characters. Information added in the text box is searched for.
type=search2		For type=search2 the default location for the search button is to the right. Currently, it does not seem to be possible to add other parameters to this type of input box. This search box searches the entire wiki that it is placed on.
type=create		Creates a new page. Information added in the text box is the name of the page which is edited.
type=comment		Adds a new section to the bottom of the page specified in the text box.
type=commenttitle		Adds a new section with the section header typed into the text box. The title can be specified with default= parameter. The page has to be specified with page= parameter.
type=fulltext		Search only with the fulltext search button, without the 'Go' button.
type=move		Move (rename) a page to a different name.
