Specifies form-initiated actions that execute automatically.
The actions can be any of the following types: link, replace, submit, done, display, print, refresh, pagedone, save, select, or cancel. See section type for a description of each of these actions.
Action items can be defined to occur only once or repeat at specified time intervals, and after the page opens but before the page appears. See the section on the delay option for information on timing options. Action items can trigger either background actions or actions involving user interaction. A form can contain only hidden items such as action items and operate in the background. Such forms are called daemon forms.
