Language model
Attributes
-
enctype : CDATA
MIME encoding type of the document.
-
expr : expression
An ECMAScript expression that yields the destination URI.
-
fetchaudio : uri
The URI of the audio to play while fetching a document.
-
fetchhint : (prefetch | safe)
Indicates whether the interpreter may prefetch the destination document specified by this element's next attribute. A value of prefetch indicates the resource may be retrieved at the time the containing VoiceXML document is retrieved. A value of safe indicates that the resource specified by this element should not be prefetched, but should instead be retrieved at the time that the interpreter executes this element.
-
fetchtimeout : duration
The interval to wait for the content to be returned before throwing an error.badfetch event. If this attribute is not specified, the interpreter derives a value from the most locally scoped fetchtimeout property.
-
maxage : integer
Indicates the maximum allowable age of the fetched document in seconds. If the cached copy is older than the specified maxage, a new copy will be fetched when the interpreter executes this element. If this attribute is not specified, the interpreter derives a value from the most locally scoped maxage property. If no maxstale attribute is defined and it is impossible to fetch a new copy on the content the interpreter will throw an error.badfetch instead of using stale content.
-
maxstale : integer
Indicates that the interpreter may use stale content for this element as long as its age is no older than maxage plus the value of maxstale in seconds. If this attribute is not specified, the interpreter derives a value from the most locally scoped maxstale property.
-
method : (get | post)
Specifies the query method, GET or POST.
-
namelist : field.names
A list of variables to submit using HTTP.
-
next : uri
The URI to which the query is submitted.
Children
None.
