HTML

We can single out HTML initialization from other available ways. The reason - it's some kind of automatic initialization. After the page has been completely parsed - the form instance 'looks for' HTML data for initialization. If it finds the appropriate data - it's used for initialization.

Initial Data

As initial data we'll take the following form:

Configuration

In HTML the data will look as:

<ul class="dhtmlxForm" name="myForm">
     <li ftype="fieldset" name="data" inputWidth="auto">Welcome
        <ul>
             <li ftype="input" name="name">Login</li>
             <li ftype="password" name="pass">Password</li>
	     <li ftype="button" name="save" value="Proceed"/>
        </ul>
     </li>
</ul>
