Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Form - When/How do the files get opened
« on: October 27, 2008, 02:20:28 AM »
Hi David,
Your question is formed from the wrong point of view.
Rather -
a) always open, and close files where you need them to be opened & closed.
b) the current form record is stored in the session queue when the form is generated.
Remember the form procedure is not "called once". It's not a "windows" type procedure. Rather it is called many times. Many times it is called on different threads, during the life of a "form" (as seen by the user in a browser.
Cheers
Bruce

Hi John,
I think Graham is suggesting you make a custom "thin client" using File Explorer as a browser control. I'm not sure if this is really what you're trying to do...

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Browse and child problem (alaWeb25 example)
« on: October 27, 2008, 02:13:58 AM »
Hi Terry,
Does the child browse have xHMTL ticked on for the header, sub-header or any column?
Does it have any embedded xHTML code - ie on the xHTML tab or in source code?
What does the _filter_ for the child browse look like?
Cheers
Bruce

Hi Espen,
I'll look into this.
What code-page have you set your web site to use?
ie WebServer procedure, NetTalk extension, Settings Tab, Advanced Tab
"Charset:'
The default is 'ISO-8859-1'
Cheers
Bruce

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Locator & First/Previous/Next/Last on one line?
« on: October 24, 2008, 12:50:06 AM »
Hi Vince,
As with many things that appear simple - this is somewhat more complicated than it seems.
Not so much the locator & browse on the same line, but the way in which the code is generated, then re-worked, and sent.
specifically the _footer_ of a browse table is sent immediately after the header and _before_ the body. (This is how HTML is designed). So NetTalk has to generate the whole browse page into a queue, then send the stuff in the queue out in the HTML order, not necessarily the Generate order.
Cheers

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Dropdown filter partially works
« on: October 24, 2008, 12:43:10 AM »
Hi vince,
When you say "range limited" you mean you are using the "range" template settings, in the browse template as distinct from setting a filter in the browse template?

« on: October 22, 2008, 02:35:56 AM »
Hi Flint,
see my email to you but, in summary,
put a & at the end of our Post string. That'll probably do the trick.

Hi Rene,
Sorry this should have been done before the PR17 release.
I've tweaked the template for the next build.

« on: October 18, 2008, 09:08:37 PM »
Hi Niels,
I don't think any of the examples does this, as far as I can recall.
However it's only 2 steps, so if you get stuck just ask.
cheers

« on: October 17, 2008, 10:34:41 PM »
Hi Rene,
no, it's easier than that. If you want to override an "automatic comment" for a form field, then just put in your own comment for that field.
Ie On the template, for that form field, put quote quote ('') in the comment: field.
cheers

Hi Niels,
Graham is right.
a) in the dict set the full path name for the file to be a variable
b) In the ProcessLink method, before parent call, set the variable based on a session value.
Cheers
Bruce

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Insert child record from parent browse
« on: October 16, 2008, 10:37:38 PM »
Hi Rene,
>> I worked around it by leaving my one out (for now).
right.
>> Btw. is there a way to not see the URL in the URL-field of the browser?
If you make a frames-based site, but with only a single frame, then the site "looks" like a normal site, but "behaves" like a frame.
Specifically it prevents the URL from being displayed in the address bar.
>> After I insert the record and return to the Parent Browse and click the cancel button, I return to the previously abandoned insert form. But I expect to go back to the main page.
Remember, on the web you _never_ really go back - you're always moving forward. Set the URL of the Cancel button so it takes you explicitly where you want it to go.
Cheers
