Web Server - Ask For Help / Form on a browse

« on: October 07, 2010, 06:06:31 PM »

Hi guys,
             I am sure that this is probably easy, I just need a pointer as to how to do it. (Havving a child on a web browse doesn't seem to be the way to go)
Nettalk4
I whish to place a non-editable form with tabs below a webbrowse. The form will show the contents of each browse record as you scroll through.
I have looked through the examples / docs and can't see how to do.
Attached is a screenshot of the general idea
Regards

Web Server - Ask For Help / Problems with browse updates

« on: December 09, 2008, 11:17:13 PM »

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with a form that has 5 tabs - each with a browse on it.
The browses are all the same browse procedure except they are filtered differently.
Selection of records is by radio button, and there is a form proc for editing.
I can insert records (using the form proc) off the browse, but if I try to edit it always goes to the last record in the file (even though that record may not appear on the filtered browse) and tries to edit that.

Any clues? Is there a problem with using more than 1 of the same browse proc on a form?

Thanks

Hi - quick question

Does anyone know how to change the width of the XP-Taskpanel menu.
(Nettalk web menu extension) . By default it is about 100 px, I need it wider.
The page is not using frames.

TIA

Web Server - Ask For Help / Potential vulnerability

« on: August 04, 2008, 03:27:47 AM »

Hi everyone,
                  I have just had a message from a website user regarding a vulnerability with entered data. I am no expert on web security but what he says seems to make sense.

Excerpt from email:

I'd love to support the project and I have a couple of ideas for hardening the website. The picture attached to this email shows a simple js alert box popping up after I've submited a project with parameter Pro_Description equal to <script>alert(1)</script> This is a simple vuln on your website I saw there... I find the fact of data not being filtered when registering unsafe.

End excerpt

So as I see it - if someone enters <script> .. code .. </script>, then when someone views the page - the code is passed to their browser and executes.

The Webserver needs to filter out these statements (or do I need to do this manually - Yuk)

Cheers

Web Server - Ask For Help / Report timeouts

« on: July 31, 2008, 07:02:04 PM »

Hi All,
          I have a webapp that generates reports, these work fine however if a report is large the client browser times out.

The solution as I see it is to send a 'I am still here' packet (of anything) to the client browser at regular intervals to keep it interested.( I do this with charts using p_web.ParseHTML in validaterecord.)
However in reports - as the PDF is being generated (which can take some time) there seems to be no hook (timer) in which to send  'I am still here' packets.

Any ideas?

TIA

Web Server - Ask For Help / Cyrillic

« on: July 01, 2008, 11:45:44 PM »

Hi,
      We have had a request to translate our web server app into Russian (Cyrillic).

The templates (unfortunately) seem to only allow entry
of ascii rather than unicode.

Is this doable in any way?

Cheers

Web Server - Ask For Help / Using EIP (4.31)

« on: June 22, 2008, 09:30:41 PM »

Hi Guys,
              I am using EIP (Nettalk 4.31) on a browse to select records (from an In-mem file).
Basically there is a dropdown EIP which is loaded from a file. The only values are 'Yes' and 'No'.

When an option (yes or no) is selected, the values are not updating in the in-memory file.

I am assuming that the In-mem file updated as soon as the new  value is selected frop the EIP dropdown list.
Is this the case? Or is there some weird web trick to this?

Thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Extra buttons on browse

« on: June 18, 2008, 11:29:55 PM »

Hi,
     I need to create an extra button on a browse called 'email'. When pressed - a routine will be called (within the browse procedure on the web server) which will email all the people in the displayed browse (The emailing routine bit I can do).
Upon completion it will then go to a NetWebPage which says something like 'Emails completed'

So I need to know -

How to create a button with text of 'email'
How to run a routine on button press
How to call another page on completion

Does anyone have an idea how to do this?

Thanks

Murray
