70

73

74
+ form prior to accepting the HIT. </p><p> You can use JavaScript or server-side logic to check the <code class="code">assignmentId</code>
75
+ parameter, and change the display the form if the HIT is being previewed
76
+ (<code class="code">assignmentId=ASSIGNMENT_ID_NOT_AVAILABLE</code>). </p><p> If a Worker submits your form before accepting the HIT, and your form attempts to post the

103
+ for your HITs. To ensure you get good results for your HITs, you should make sure your web server
104
+ and web pages can provide your Workers with a quality experience. </p><p> Because external questions depend on your web server for rendering the question form, both
105
+ while Workers are previewing HITs and while Workers are completing HITs, your server will need to
106
+ be engineered for high availability. The Amazon Mechanical Turk web site gets heavy traffic, so
107
+ your web server will need to be able to respond quickly and correctly when receiving many requests
108
+ in a short period of time. </p><div class="tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Tip"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Tip]" src="images/tip.png"></td><th align="left">Tip</th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>
109

112
+ browser to load the "externalSubmit" URL in the frame with the results in POST data. The easiest
113
+ way to do this is with an HTML form whose fields contain the HIT results, with a submit button
114
+ that the Worker will click. If an external HIT prevents the Worker from submitting results back to
115
+ Amazon Mechanical Turk using the "externalSubmit" mechanism, the Worker may not be able to claim rewards
116
+ or continue doing work without restarting their session. Amazon Mechanical Turk reserves the right
117

119

121

274
+ <em class="parameter"><code>FormattedContent</code></em>, Amazon Mechanical Turk attempts to validate the formatted
275
+ content blocks against a schema. If the formatted content does not validate against the schema,
276
+ the operation call will fail and return an error. </p><p> To validate the formatted content, Amazon Mechanical Turk takes the contents of the
277
+ <em class="parameter"><code>FormattedContent</code></em> element (the text and markup inside the CDATA), then
278
+ constructs an XML document with an appropriate XML header,
279
+ <code class="code">&lt;FormattedContent&gt;</code> as the root element, and the text and markup as the
280
+ element's contents (without the CDATA). This document is then validated against a schema. </p><p> For example, consider the following <em class="parameter"><code>FormattedContent</code></em> block: </p><pre class="programlisting"> ...
281
+ &lt;FormattedContent&gt;&lt;![CDATA[
282
+ I absolutely &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; chocolate ice cream!
283
+ ]]&gt;&lt;/FormattedContent&gt;
284
+ ...</pre><p> To validate this block, Amazon Mechanical Turk produces the following XML document: </p><pre class="programlisting">&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
285
+ &lt;FormattedContent xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
286
+ I absolutely &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; chocolate ice cream!
287
+ &lt;/FormattedContent&gt;</pre><p> The schema used for validation is called <code class="code">FormattedContentXHTMLSubset.xsd</code>. For
288
+ information on how to download this schema, see <a class="link" href="ApiReference_WsdlLocationArticle.html" title="Chapter&nbsp;3.&nbsp;WSDL and Schema Locations">WSDL and Schema Locations</a>. </p><p> You do not need to specify the namespace of the XHTML tags in your formatted content. This is
289
+ assumed automatically during validation. </p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"><tr><td width="30%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ApiReference_QuestionFormDataStructureArticle.html"><img src="images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a> </td><td width="40%" align="center"><a href="http://survey.amazonwebservices.com/survey/s?s=559&amp;opdata_page=Mturk_API_2008-08-02_ApiReference_FormattedContentXHTMLArticle">Documentation Feedback</a><br><a href="copyrightinfo.html">Copyright Information</a></td><td width="30%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ApiReference_QuestionFormAnswersDataStructureArticle.html"><img src="images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a></td></tr><tr><td width="30%" align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td><td width="40%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="#top"><img src="images/home.gif" alt="Home"></a></td><td width="30%" align="right" valign="top">&nbsp;</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
