At some stage, information on the browser needs to come back to the database and Freedombase, to be updated into or deleted from the database, to be searched for, or for many other purposes. Freedombase uses standard HTTP Post form submission to pass this data from the page back to Freedombase.

One of the pieces of data passed back is a Command field, telling Freedombase what action to take.

The same Attribute naming convention of System_Class_Attribute, is used when submitting data from the page back to server. This is the same naming convention as is used when outputting data from the database into the page, but without any % signs.

For example, the following HTML will cause data from the NAME field on the CUSTOMER table to be set as the value of the input field on the page; and then the name of the input field, will cause the data to be returned to the NAME field on the CUSTOMER table when the form is submitted:

<input type="text" name="EXAMPLES_CUSTOMER_NAME" value="%EXAMPLES_CUSTOMER_NAME%">
