48 The page the user will see after having submitted a form. Common errors that occur often are wrongly [[configured actions>>doc:Formcycle.Designer.Workflow.Actions.WebHome]] or unavailable external web services or pages.
49
50 === JavaScript and CSS ===
51
52 {{figure image="extension_use_css.png"/}}
53
54 Forms created with {{formcycle/}} use certain JavaScript libaries, mainly jQuery, as well as custom CSS files. When jQuery has been included with TYPO3 already, you can save bandwidth by preventing {{formcycle/}} from loading jQuery again. The options in this tab let you select which JavaScript files should be loaded.
55
56 The CSS files you can select on this tab are loaded automatically when opening the {{designer/}} and will be available in the [[CSS panel>>doc:Formcycle.Designer.Form.ElementProperties.CSSClasses]] of the {{designer/}}.
57
58 * {{litem title="Use available CSS"}}Select the CSS you want to include in the page.{{/litem}}

63 {{warning}}
64 When not using the jQuery library provided by {{formcycle/}}, make certain jQuery will be loaded by the TYPO3 page before the form gets loaded.

71 You can specify additional URL parameters for the URL used to open the form. These parameters can be accessed by custom JavaScript files included in the form.
72
73 {{info}}
74 Always use an ampersand sign at the beginning and as the separator of URL parameters.
75
76 **Correct:**
77 &param1=wert1&param2=wert2
78
79 **Wrong:**
80 param1=wert1&param2=wert2
81 ?param1=wert1&param2=wert2
82 &param1=wert1 param2=wert2
83 {{/info}}
84
85 Starting with version 7.2.0 of the TYPO3 extension, values of URL parameters can be used via a placeholder mechanism. These must be used as follows:
86
87 {{code language="none"}}&param1={NAME_OF_URL_PARAM}{{/code}}
88
89 See the help pages on [[URL parameter>>doc:Formcycle.Designer.Form.URLParameter]] for special parameters used by {{formcycle/}}.
