Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Problem displaying data on an htm page

I don't blame you. No problem. I'll get back after it tomorrow. Maybe Bruce has some idea's. But I guess it can't hurt to learn how to get a record anyway... I'll be needing to do that.
This is going to be a small reservation system for our video stores (the ones that have our software). It is really simple... just a list of inventory and different ways to select it... and it will show if the movie is already rented out.. then allow the customer to reserve it or put it on the waiting list after they've signed in.... then the video store will acknowledge and an email will get sent to the customer acknowledging their movie is reserved. This way the clerk will go and get the movie off the shelf and confirm it for real.
I'm going to let it run right off the video stores computer, or off the net later where I'll send files so the program can keep itself updated.
I've got a long ways to go... but it ought to be fun.

I'll look into trying that. I don't understand why I have to do an embed when it is simply calling a form (I have view buttons on each record of the browse and a view button on the screen). Like I said, this works perfectly if I just call the browse form (inv_view). But If I erase the inv_view call and put under advanced inv_form.htm (as per the docs) it should just call my web page (which is does) and put in the data (which it doesn't).
Seems like a bug to me...
but I'm new.

I'm just creating a static web page in MS expressions... .then I'm adding the tags into the html. I'm not using the xhtml in the templates at all... yet. This actually works great in the browse. In the browse I call the htm file instead of the form to get the html to show up with the form inside. It does not show the data. I've been hacking some more and turned on the insert and change buttons (I'm doing view only and read only)... and with insert it brings in data, but the wrong data.... then after that the change or view buttons show that same data no matter what record you've selected in the browse.
Everything works fine if I just call the form instead of the htm form (located under form/advanced when you delete the form name in the browse template.
Thanks,
Ray

If I just call the form as is it displays the prompts and the data (display only). However, if I call the html page I created then the form does display, prompts, text (but blank), and no data fields.
I tried adding in the obsolete <!-- Net:c:Body --> which didn't display any data (but did make a difference as my page got longer... so there is code that is still doing something with that tag). I'm using MS Expressions to create the html code.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I've got the tags in correctly... here is the html code (by the way it doesn't matter if I take out the message tag or leave it in):
<!-- NetWebServer -->
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<!-- Net:c:Head -->

<style type="text/css">
.style1 {
