Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Previous navigation button gets lost

Hi, Kevin

It is a TPS file (a keyed field, but not primary or unique); I ran TPSFix - no errors. There are no special characters involved, just a large number (approx 50) of identical strings. I'm using release 29, so I will try it with the latest. Thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Previous navigation button gets lost

« on: September 29, 2010, 11:39:33 AM »

Hi. NT5, C7...

One client has a large number of identically named items in a browse (very unusual - you would expect them all to have mostly distinct names, but hey, he's a client). This field is the default sort order for the browse, which makes sense for the remainder of the table's contents (which contain more or less distinct names).

When you navigate forward, no problem. Use the locator, no problem. Navigate backward (Previous), and the browse list gets stuck on those items with the same name. The web server is responding, but the displayed items do not change. The other fields in each record provide visual confirmation of this. If you go forward again, no problem. If you use a locator again, no problem.

Has anyone seen this behavior? The browse routine seems to be losing its place.

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks, Chris, but I'm still wondering about handling it in the ProcessTag method. Where would that come into play?

Hi, Chris

Procedures as controls. I get the session variable stuff, but I'm not sure what 'handling the tag' in the ProcessTag method is all about. If I reference a procedure directly, I don't know what embed would be required. If an embed is sometimes needed, why, and how does it work?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi. The docs make reference to the ability to use custom tags:

It's important to note that you can put any tag you like into your web page, as long as you handle it in the ProcessTag method in the WebHandler procedure.

Are there any examples of this?

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks, Bruce. That did it.

What is CreateImage used for? Does the Display choice for a field do the same thing with explicitly using CreateImage?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Display image on a form

« on: August 17, 2010, 12:00:32 PM »

Hi. C7.2, Nettalk 5...

I'm very new to this stuff, and I'm trying to display an image on a form. I have the image file name in  a field in a related table. I get the data from the table and place it in the session queue. It correctly displays the file name on the form, but no image. I set up a display field on the form, and I put this on the Image tab for the display field for the name of the image file:

p_web.CreateImage(OIM:ImageFileName)

When I look at the transmission, I see that instead of sending the file name for the src, it sends this:

/%3Cimg%20src%3D%22images/please.jpg%22%20width%3D%22%22%20height%3D%22%22%20alt%3D%22%22%20border%3D%220%22%20align%3D%22absmiddle%22%20%20%20%20/%3E

The file name is in there, but the html source can't use this. I'm clueless. Thanks,
Jim
