Web Server - Ask For Help / When to use what? Bruce?
« on: July 05, 2007, 04:40:59 PM »
I use session variables to set local variables or form fields .
What I don't understand is, what is the p_web.SetValue(.. . used for ? when do you use it and why?
I realise the session variables are persistant across procedures . What's the difference between p_web.GetValue and p_web.RestoreValue ?
Certainly hope I'm not the only one that is confused about this.
Thank you very much,
Gregg

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Priming a field
« on: July 05, 2007, 04:31:32 PM »
Alan,
I got it to prime the field but I would like it to be visible in the display field during an insert .
I am using the session variable from the login procedure and that same variable is working to prime another field in another procedure. Can't understand why it doesn't work in this procedure even though everything is set up the same. I'm missing something.
Thanks,
Gregg

Web Server - Ask For Help / Priming a field
« on: July 05, 2007, 10:26:48 AM »
I am trying to prime a DISPLAY field on a form with a session variable. As part of testing I placed the variable on the static page using the format <!-- Net:s:sessClico --> and it shows the value as I expect it would.
I can't prime the field with anything , for example I primed it ...
cli:client = 'test' and that doesn't even show.
ANY suggestions are much appreciated.

David,
I own Draw as well but never gave it a thought to use it for that. Very clever!
I just found a possible alternative:
http://www.archreality.com/jcap/ it's a javascript that creates the Captcha .
Thanks very much for your response.

Nick,
Have only experimented with this a bit.
I use Dreamweaver CS3 but for $20 try
http://www.blumentals.net/rapidcss/
also a good investment is at:
http://www.lynda.com/ look at the subject CSS . Very thorough instruction. Worth every bit of the $25 per month . Stop it at any time.
While the browser has one of your web server pages up, right click and view source. Print it out then open all.css in the /web/styles folder and have a look at items in the code referenced by class= . You'll begin to understand where you can change things. back up often! I would start with colors only, then go from there.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Version 4.26 issue?
« on: June 22, 2007, 08:18:24 AM »
installed 4.26 and copied the web directory to my working web directory and recompiled. Everything looks good except the chrome menu. in 4.25 the menu items were placed horizontally on the menu bar. in 4.26 they are vertical and don't look quite right.
Anyone else have this issue or have I missed something?
Thanks in advance,
Gregg Matteson

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Session Variable Question
« on: June 21, 2007, 07:21:36 AM »
Mike,
I have not tried this but...
could you put the connection string in a file (tps?) then in the validate imbed of the login form set the tps file and retrieve the correct connection string from the appropriate record. Maybe no session variable needed?

Gregg Matteson

George,
Yes that's exactly what I meant. Reference to "static" comes from the Nettalk docs.

The Rest - Share Knowledge / Tips for those just getting started with a WebServer App
« on: June 18, 2007, 04:14:26 PM »
Thought I'd start a thread of hopefully helpful hints for those just getting started...
If you intend to create a web app that uses static pages -
1. decide if the pages will be fixed width, how wide they will be and if centered or not. ( reasoning- The above factors will dictate the design that fits for some screens. Example, a procedure with two or more tables side by side might not work out if you decide to make your static pages fixed width centered at 700 pixels.)
2. Use a static page for a procedure or two to see how the above all plays out then change the links back to the regular non-static urls until you have most if not all of your site complete. This will save you a lot of grief and time.
From experience I can tell you that if I had it to do over again I would do it this way.

Your Views and Comments / Members only posts?
« on: June 18, 2007, 04:14:10 AM »
Is there any way to create a post / thread that is accessible ONLY by members?
The ONLY reason I ask is that it would be nice to be able to share a demo site with members and at the same time limit traffic/bandwidth by only allowing forum members access.
Just curious.
Thank you for this resource. I expect this will become very popular.
