Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: 4.31 String in Browse causes bad routines
« on: November 04, 2008, 10:58:53 PM »
Hi Chris,
No, not a field. A unique equate.
Because of EIP being added to the browses it's important that each column has a unique equate.
In your case below you have column(s) (probably buttons) that have no equate.
Cheers
Bruce

Hi Alex,
nope, it all seems to work for me - but I'm trying variations to see what might be different between yours and mine.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: NetWebForm generation timeout?
« on: November 04, 2008, 10:51:45 PM »
Hi Brian,
yes, of course, you're right - that's the other thing to consider.
If you send a packet to PayPal, and then "wait for a reply" then there is presumably some timout gonna happen there as well.
Of course this one is a lot easier to control. But by default it's quite long, so I'm not expecting a timeout.
a) for testing you might wanna turn on Error Messages - especially for the PayPal web client procedure. If you are getting any kind of error then naturally you'd want to know it. You'd then be notified if the error was a timeout.
b) in your web client, have you added your code to the .Process or .PageReceived method? .PageReceived is probably (definitely) better. Presumably you have some code in there to do stuff when the reply arrives - so perhaps put some debugging in there to see if it ever gets into that method. (be careful not to put your debugging inside an IF statement).
Cheers

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Drop validation
« on: November 04, 2008, 07:51:11 AM »
Well, since it's a drop-down it was assumed that only valid values would be possible in the drop down.
However, a couple of folk have pointed out, that adding "extra settings" to the drop-down (typically with instructions like -- Select One -- ) would effectively be an "invalid" setting, even though it is in the drop down itself.

« on: November 04, 2008, 06:49:04 AM »
Hi Sebastian,
Hang on - 4.30 didn't have EIP did it? So you must be using a build of 4.31...
Probably the best thing to do is download the latest 4.31 pre-release from
http://www.capesoft.com/ftp/public/prerelease/index.htm
and see if it's been fixed in that.
There have been quite a few tweaks along the way, especially with EIP that may already resolve your problem.
Cheers
Bruce

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: next last buttons not working
« on: November 03, 2008, 11:18:24 PM »
Hi Ray,
The problem with the online example is that
when the radio is selected, fields that "do not exist" on the form are being updated.
ie the radio is set to reset a bunch of fields including
classequate (value)
itembytype (value)
type_equate (value)
When you update fields that don't exist on the form, then the javascript stops processing, and hence the browse display doesn't update, and the buttons don't work.
Remember there are 2 fields for a form field.
a) "Include Condition" and
b) "hide Condition".
If a field is not _included_ then it cannot be updated, or unhidden.
If a field _is_ included then it can be hidden, and unhidden dynamically.
My guess is that you have got "Include Conditions" for some of these fields that should not be there.
Cheers
Bruce

Hi Brian,
Typically the browser will time-out if it requests a page, but gets no response within about 30 seconds.
As far as I know there's no way to change this timeout value.
So the important thing to do is make sure at least _something_ has been sent to the browser within that time. After that you can take some time (although not an endless amount of time) to get something done.
I recommend you simply move your code down a bit. What I'd do (off the top of my head without checking) is have a display field saying something like
"contacting PayPal - please wait...."
And then embed your code after that has been sent.
(Form fields are sent from the value::whatever routine for that field, so you can embed after that.)
Then you do the calc, and the next form field is the display of the "paypal response".
Cheers
Bruce

Hi Mike,
All the "hot field" does is add it to the View.
I'd need to see your exact setup to comment specifically, but presumably yes, the field was not being added to the view?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Some things I'm noticing with the newest builds - Text box wrapping
« on: November 03, 2008, 06:40:00 AM »
Hi Mike,
Does your text box have "allow xhtml" ticked on, or off?
If it's ticked on, perhaps you need to tick on the "include html editor" option in the
webServer procedure, Extensions, Settings tab, Scripts tab.
I tested example number1, Auto response tab, and it seems ok.

« on: November 03, 2008, 06:36:35 AM »
Hi Sjoerd,
Check out FAQ #4 as it tells you more specifically how to call a form "by hand". In your case, the second form would be called in "change" mode, but where the form has the "delete" button turned on. Then the user can see the form, and click on Delete.
Cheers

« on: November 03, 2008, 06:04:27 AM »
Hi Mike,
My guess is that in your page you simply have a recursive call.
ie check if you are including the form as a child of itself (or a "child loop") - look for procedures embedded in the xhtml tab, and so on.

Hi,
Which build of NetTalk are you using?
For the EIP have you set it (on the client side tab) to update the cell, row, or browse?
