Remarks

This extraction rule extracts form fields that have a name equal to the value that is set by Name. Consider the following HTML:

<input name="TextBox1" type="text" value="my first field" id="TextBox1" />

<input name="TextBox2" type="text" value="my 2nd field" id="TextBox2" />

The value of the TextBox1 field will be put in the context under the name that is specified by ContextParameterName.
