Standard HTML Form
Step one is to make a standard HTML quote with fill-in fields
for certain information. The form should have all of the
necessary HTML coding for graphics and layout. The form is
subject to the following requirements:
File names:
The file name for the single quote form must be "qforms.html"
and the one for bulk quotes must be "qformb.html".
Filling in fields with the ^ character
The caret character starts a two-character sequence which will
be replaced by data from the TARGET system as shown below. Note
that if the description of the content ends with "**"
this means it is not available in bulk quotes and thus
should not be used.
The currently-recognized codes are:
A - Your company name (control variable CONAME)
B - Your company address line 1 (COADR1)
C - Your company address line 2 (COADR2)
