Basic Functional Template

A basic functional template file (mastertemplate.bwmt) without any layout and styling consists of the following mandatory template parts: <% CommonScripts %>, <% Content %>, <% HiddenFormFields %>, and <% StartupScripts %>. Most applications can not interact without a <% Navigation main %>, <% ButtonBarButtons left %>, and <% ButtonBarButtons right %>.

To put it all together you will get something like the below:

<!doctype html>
<html>
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8">
		<title>My WEM application</title>
		<% CommonScripts %>
	</head>
	<body>
		<% Navigation main %>
		
		<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
			<% Content %>
			<% HiddenFormFields %>
		</form>

		<% ButtonBarButtons left %>
		<% ButtonBarButtons right %>
		
		<% StartupScripts %>
	</body>
</html>

Using the code above makes a very funny retro appearance for you WEM application. That is because there isn't any layout and styles added to it.

Postback

As seen in the basic template above, to do a proper postback, the <% Content %>, and <% HiddenFormFields %> should be placed inside a <form> block and attribute enctype="multipart/form-data" like so:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <% Content %>
    <% HiddenFormFields %>
</form>

Remarks

See the WMT reference to find more details about the template parts and more to be used on design templates.
