         Let's spend 5 minutes and Learn to use jate !

1) give URL of jate to your browser
 something like http://your.host.name:[port]/cgipath/ofjate/jate

 youll see Welcome to Jate and choose jatefile and a form entry
 write in the entry [or browse] full unix path of a file that
 has write permissions for world (http server user).
 If file does not exist it will be created. 
  (in last case write permission for world has to be set for the 
   directory)
  Now we have three possible buttons to press
   press Save 
  this will save typed filename to your preferences
  And the filename now has to be as a selection.
   If you see it hit Proceed. (else something is wrong try again)

2) Second page of jate is  "Jate host chooser"
   Here we have to give the host where mSQL server is located.
   If it's local give local.

3) Jate Database chooser not used in current version 
   just proceed.

4) Jate mSQLDB chooser
   choose an mSQL database accessible to your http server user

5) Jate mSQL Table chooser
   to proceed with learning we have to create a table 
   (you can always remove it later ;-))
   write 2 (number of fields) in the entry near button "New" 
   and press "New".

6) for Table name write test
   
   first FieldName write "email" size 40 and NOT_NULL for key
   second FieldName write "data" and select INT for type
   Hit Create.

7) Again Jate mSQL Table chooser but now we have new table test
   select test and hit Proceed

8) Main Workspace
   press "Input Format" 
   
9) Create Input format for the table test
   Let's compile this form.
   in upper table
         for Input name        "testinput"
             Submit name       "testsubmit"
   in lower table
    first row email
         for Which  switch to  "1"
             Type   leave      "Normal"
             Size   switch to  "20 charachters"
             Title             "E-Mail address"
             Default           "user@somemachine.com"           
    second row data
         for Which  switch to  "2"
             Type   switch to  "Hidden"
             Size   leave      "8 charachters"
             Title             ""
             Default           "date"
             (switch Simple Def. value to "Date")         

    Hit "Create form" button
    Here is an Input form for the table.
    press "Save To File"
    this will save this Input form in the jatefile from first page
    in some unreadable format.

    Hit "Main Workspace"
    This will return us to Main workspace BUT !!!
    Now we have our "testinput" as an option.
    Switch the selection bar under "Input Format" to "testinput"
    and hit "Input Format" 
    We'll see our input form as a Pre input form.
    Hit "Display as add form"
    Thats it! form is ready. now just save frames as an html file.
    put the saved html in a directory for html sources and it'll
    add records puting in field data the time (long int) of submit. 
    But now we have it also in our jatefile that means that
    we always can modify it whenever we want and what is more
    important to use it in a report.

    Create a form to add records is 5% of all functionality of jate
    See demo for details.
