HTML insert into Tab Form?
« on: June 11, 2009, 10:30:54 AM »
Is there any place I can insert some HTML so that it appears on a specified Tab? 

I'm using a Tab type of form (not XP Tabs)

I'm looking for a simple interface where a menu would be overkill -  all the navigation is done by tabs.  It works well except that the first tab("Home" page) has no fields, just some welcome text and instructions.

Placing a text memory field comes up with error msgs when I try to prime it with HTML

regards

Hi Mike,

You should probably be using a DISPLAY form field on the first tab.
And I suspect set the "Span prompt/value/comment" for the field on as well.

AND set "allow Xhtml" on as well for the field.

However - the html you include needs to be valid xHtml.

Cheers

Hi Bruce

I found another solution - insert a Browse on the tab where I want XHTML.  And then in the browse proc create a browse with no fields - you can now put your HTML in the XHTML tab.

Works perfectly  :o

thanks
