Problem with reset fields

[Matthew]

Hello,

I can't refresh fields on a form.

I have a few display fields, which are hyperlinks to the other form on my site.
For example I have filed name: 'About'
In Client-Side tab of this field I set Reset field 'Contact'
When I click on 'About' nothing happens.

I saw that Validate::About routine is called in one place: event:accepted of lower('xxx_About_value') which is case statement of lower(p_web.PageName) in CallDiv routine.
CallDiv routine is called in case statement of p_stage at the beginning of CODE.

So after clicked on 'About' server is not calling Validate::About where is
do Refresh::Contact and I can't refresh that field.

Any advice?

In NetTalk 5.44 everything works fine. This problem is on version 6.12.

Regards,
Matthew

Matthew,

Whenever you set fields in the serverside code, that are to be used with resetting other fields after the server side code is executed, the sessionValue "version" of those fields must be set.

E.g.

contact = 'some value'
p_web.ssv('contact',contact)

Resetting works with sessionValues.

Cheers,
Rene

Thank You for your reply Rene Simons.

I forgot to add, that I need reset field not to change value of this field, but change css style of this field. For example change color from black to blue after clicked on.

But after clicked on filed no server side code is running.

I don't understand what is the sessionValue "version". Should I set this value for every filed?
You mean something like: p_web.SSV('version', 1)?

Matthew

can you post an example Matthew? I'm not at all sure I follow your explanation 100%, and an example makes it easier to duplicate, and give correct advice.

Problem is with display control since NetTalk 6.

I discribe my problem in few steps:

1. I added new field on form called 'Testing' which was display field.
2. In 'OnClick tab' I set URL to another form.
3. In 'Client-Server' tab I ticked on option "Send new value to server" and add some code in "Server Code" for example MESSAGE('I am here')
4. When I open my website, go to that form and click 'Testing', the message 'I am here' doesn't show.

So even if message doesn't show then I can't reset any field because it's on the same place in code.

In NetTalk 6 server code in display field is not running.
In NetTalk 5 it works.

Matthew

Hi Matthew,

This change is party "by design" - so tell me more why you want the "send click to server" _and_ the URL to be set.
In NT5 this generates 2 requests, one to notify of the click, another to "fetch" the URL.

But this is (usually) a bad combination because there's no guarantee they'll run in a specific order. This leads people to all kinds of problems.

So tell me more about what you have in mind here.

First of all menu in my website is a form.

I have few tabs and display field on each tab which are menu options.
Every field has URL to different procedures for example 'about us', 'contact', etc.
I have two css class which describe active and inactive menu option.

For example:

.inactive{
 text-color: black;
 font-weight: normal;
}

.active{
 text-color: black;
 font-weight: bold;
}

So when I clicked on menu option I would like to change css class from inactive to active for current menu option and change css class from active to inactive previous menu option.
I did this in NetTalk 5 using reset field and it was warking

Matthew

I hope that my problem is now understood.

Does anyone have a solution for my problem?

Hi Matthew,
an example would be appreciated.

My key question though is that if your Menu is a form, and you go to the (say) About Us page, is that form then embedded on that page?
I suspect I'll have more questions based on the answer to that - which is why an example would help speed things along.
