I am just starting out with Custom Web Publishing, know a bit of HTML and understand a very, very little bit of CDML. I have set my home page up using the Web Companion dialog box in FM. On that I have a link to a page where a user can enter information. The link works fine, but when I try to enter info and hit the add record button, I get a message saying the browser can't access FM on my harddrive. I have the file open.
The code I used to link the page (so that FM would recognize it) was:
<FORM ACTION="file:///Macintosh HD/FileMaker Pro 5.5 Folder/Web" METHOD="POST">
<a href="FMPro?-db=mtg_info.fp5&-format=next_mtg.html&-findall">Next Meeting</a>
</form>
And the code I used on my linked page, to enter the information and submit it, was:
<FORM ACTION="file:///Macintosh HD/FileMaker Pro 5.5 Folder/Web" METHOD="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="-db" value="mtg_info.fp5">
<input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="basicinfo">
<input type="hidden" name="-format" value="woohoo.html">
<input type="hidden" name="-error" value="dagonit.html">
<P>Name: <input type="text" name="firstname" size=20></P>
<P>Best Months to meet: <input type="text" name="months" size=20></P>
<P>What you want to bring: <input type="text" name="food" size=20></P>
<P>suggestions: <input type="text" name="suggestions" size=50></P>
<P><input type="submit" name="-New" value="Add Record"></P>
</FORM>
Sorry for the long post. I am not sure where to go from here!
