Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: In which Procedure and Embed can I put code that will only Run Once
« on: August 20, 2026, 11:24:12 AM »
What are you trying to do, Johan?
A session value is going to be tied to a particular session ID, so it will only be "global" for that one session.
I use a number of regular global variables in web apps that are set at startup and then read-only thereafter.
If you don't want to use global variables, you can set host values in the web server procedure when it starts (maybe in ThisWindow.init). (Since pweb does not exist in the web server, you would use s_web.SetHostValue).

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: NT CLient for updating DDNS for DNSSIMPLE

Ron,
After you get it working in CURL, you can also do some testing with the web client that's in the NetDemo app in the NetTalk examples.
It's useful because you can see what's sent and received and figure out how to make things work.

No, I haven't.
Have you tried the examples in the nettalk\NetDns folder?

Johan,
I've never used the multi-host for a real app; just played with the example.
I would not start from the webhandler.
Many of my web servers actually have a source procedure as the first procedure in the app tree.
This is example code from one that looks at the commandline, does some initialization, starts a timer window, and then runs the web server.

For something small like that, you might also consider Capesoft MaxQueue.
As for loading the queue (or file), is the data pre-staged (in which case the load would be almost instantaneous) or does it have to be gathered?
I have some webservers that need the underlying data refreshed periodically. Perhaps I overcomplicate things, but my flow is:
1. When the app starts, START a window that has a timer. Capture the thread returned by the START command into a global variable (I use GLO:DataServiceThread).
2. I declare an equate
6. You might want to wrap the actual reloading of your data inside a critical section to restrict access while the refresh is taking place. Don't know whether that is needed with MaxQueue.

Are you trying to send JSON to a web browser or to a client of some sort?
There's a NetTalk example WebServiceRequiresXFiles (77) that includes two apps - a client and a web server.
It's also often useful to use the netdemo example program as a web client to debug what you're doing.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Refresh Browse after Post Update
« on: April 16, 2026, 12:28:42 PM »
There's a way to refresh a browse from (almost) anywhere in your app whenever you want.
You need to set up all the pieces correctly. Then just do a p_web.SetTableValue whenever you want to refresh the browse (assuming you're in a procedure that has access to p_web).

Web Server - Ask For Help / Tooltip on droplist item?
« on: December 31, 2025, 01:42:40 PM »
Is there a way to add a tooltip to dropdown items from the template (without omitting/rewriting template code in the embeditor?)
p_web.CreateOption has a place for a tooltip parameter, but I'm not seeing how to specify that in the form template.
And I couldn't find a way to wrap the droplist choice in a <span>.
Am I missing something obvious? NT 14.36

But as an experiment, Johan, open the F12 developer tools and switch to the Console tab.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Pass a Session Variable as a parameter?
« on: November 25, 2025, 03:27:08 PM »
I don't understand, Johan, but I'm glad you do 
If you pass p_web into a function, then within that function you can do the regular p_web.GSV('blah') or p_web.SSV('blah','blork')
As for the structure of the session data, you might look through netwebsessions.inc at the various queue types and netwebsessions.clw for how they're being accessed.

Pass the p_web object as one of your parameters.
Here's a prototype example from one of my procedures where p_web is the first of two parameters I'm passing.
