hi- i'm wondering how i can solve the following problem: i have my database on the web, with it's main functionality being a search. i have one of the fields for each record set to be an image (a little icon). this icon is made linkable in my cdml: <A HREF="[FMP-Field: songlink]"><img src="[FMP-Image: speaker]""URL" BORDER=0></A> however not all records will need to have the icon, and therefore will not need to have a link. so, in fmpro, i've put a blank gif in that field for the records that don't need that linkable icon, and have left the url blank. the problem is, that when the records are pulled up on the web, the records that i've filled in with a blank gif (and no url) still link (it ends up directing the blank url to the homepage). what i ideally want to have is that the records without the icon NOT link, and NOT change the cursor to indicate linkability. how can this be done between cdml and html? i've used a container field for the image in my database - is that what i need to change? logically i don't think that javascript or html can solve this the way i've got things set up -is that a fair assumption? if so, i don't know which direction to head in. thanks for help!

i have icons (as gif images) in my database records. the icon shows up fine in fm pro itself, but on the web, only a number appears in it's place: in my case either 33008 or 33010. it shows up as 33008 if i inserted the image using a script, and as 33010 if i inserted the image using the insert command from the menu. i defined this field as a container in fmpro. my html reads: <td width="28" valign="top" align="left" xpos="54"><center>[FMP-Field: speaker]</center></td> any ideas on where the pitfall is? thanks.

has anyone else had issues arise with databases after upgrading from FM4 to FM5? specifically, that a database won't work on the web all of a sudden, although it will still work in filemaker. i'm new to this - do i have to run Web Companion again to output new HTML (CDML?) for my web page? everything has stayed the same, except for the upgrade to FM5. thanks for any insight anyone can give.

having a problem similar to Randrew0... the database stopped working after i converted it from FM4 to FM5. it works perfectly in Filemaker, but the same database no longer works on the internet - and the only change was the conversion. when accessing it online (it is being accessed in a search capacity), I get the error "No records found: modify your search criteria and try again" the html code for it, that used to work, is: <input type="hidden" name="-Max" value="100"> <INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="media/findit.gif" NAME="submit" border=0> <form action="FMPro" method="Post"> <input type="hidden" name="-DB" value="ch2.fp5"> <input type="hidden" name="-Format" value="search2.html"> <input type="hidden" name="-Max" value="100"> <input type="hidden" name="-SortField" value="f1"> <INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="media/showall.gif" NAME="-FindAll" border=0> </form> and, coincidentally, if i am trying to look at these pages locally, rather than over the server, i get the alert error: "unable to find file or directory blah/blah/blah/FMPro - check the name and try again" i feel as thought there is something simple in that html code above that needs to be changed, as a result of the conversion any hints are appreciated. thanks.
