Registering a Web Store Form using PROPPATCH

This example assumes a Web page with a button that triggers the DoDocRegister function. Once again, make sure to log in as a user authorized to write to the store before running the code.

function DoDocRegister()
{
m_httpsaverequest = new ActiveXObject("microsoft.xmlhttp");
bstrRequestXML = "<?xml version='1.0'?><a:propertyupdate xmlns:a='DAV:' xmlns:b='urn:schemas:mailheader:'>";
bstrRequestXML +="<a:set><a:prop>";
bstrRequestXML +="<b:content-class>urn:content-classes:formregistration</b:content-class>";
bstrRequestXML += "</a:prop></a:set></a:propertyupdate>";
m_httpsaverequest.open("PROPPATCH", docform.url, false);   
m_httpsaverequest.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml");
// send takes one parameter which is the requestBody to use
// if status property is in 200 range, then everything's OK
m_httpsaverequest.send(bstrRequestXML);
//Response is XML DOM object that can be inspected
bstrXML = m_httpsaverequest.responseXML;
// idMsgViewer2.update();  // do whatever updates are necessary
m_httpsaverequest = null;
}

The following is an example of the useful fields in XML format needed to do a form registration. For an explanation of each of the fields, refer to Form Definition Properties.
