Alert msg not showing in the red bar since nt7

[MikeR]

I get the following output from debugview:

[13836] [st] Failed to load zlibwapi.dll
[13836] [netTrace][thread=3] NetTalk WebServer - unable to compress data - zlibwapi.dll Not found
[13836] [netTrace][thread=3] ValidateForm on ChangeRecord
[13836] [netTrace][thread=3] JMR invalid password:Login Failed. Invalid User/Password Pair - Try Again.
[13836] [st] Failed to load zlibwapi.dll
[13836] [netTrace][thread=3] NetTalk WebServer - unable to compress data - zlibwapi.dll Not found

I inserted the above 'JMR' p_web._trace line using the following code in the validate:update routine after do validate:record
you will notice the JMR trace message displays but the loc:invalid and loc:alert settings dont show on the browser ?
:

  ! The HASH test prevents the same form-post from being used "twice".
  ! This improves security on public computers.
! message(p_web.GetValue('loc:hash')& '-' & p_web.GetSessionValue,('loc:hash'),'before hash')
  if p_web.GetValue('loc:hash') = p_web.GetSessionValue('loc:hash') or TRUE

            else

Am I the only one with this problem ?

Hi Mike,

it's hard to comment without an example. Perhaps try example 3 and see if you get the same problem there?

regarding;
[13836] [st] Failed to load zlibwapi.dll

This is the compression library used by StringTheory. It doesn't hurt if it's missing, but it's faster if it's there. It's in your \3rdparty\bin folder so consider copying it to your app folder.

cheers

[MikeR]

example 3 has same problem, only popup error works, no top of page red msg

[osquiabro]

I have the same problem in version 6.51.

[Bruce]

fixed for next build of both NT7 and NT6.

cheers
