webSurvent 8.1 Code Library reference tool
Programming webSurvent Web surveys just got easier with the release of the webSurvent 8.1 Code Library reference tool.
This tool is available free-of-charge from our nonstop support team.
Survent users will be surprised at just how easy it is to adapt their existing Survent specs to Web survey specs. Add our new HTML formatting calls to the top of your shell, and you've formatted most of your basic question types without a stitch of additional code.
CfMC clients using (or considering using) webSurvent for Web surveys should contact support for access to the “webSurvent 8.1 Code Library”, our latest self-help tool for programming Survent questionnaires.

New web spec-writing downloads
WebSurvent and webCATI specs can be written in any text editor, but our users prefer UltraEdit and Textpad.
To assist use of these tools in creating browser-based surveys in CfMC, the nonstop support team has created two new free downloads - available to any user of CfMC software.
These syntax files provide syntax highlighting for:
- standard Survent syntax
- all webSurvent formatting commands
- HTML tags
- CSS elements, and
- CfMC javascript functions.
Increase your Web programming efficiency with these CfMC syntax files for these (password required, please contact support):
We are also working on a syntax highlighter for KDE editors for Linux-based programmers.
