Scripts in buttons don't work

[jcyphert]

I made a survey database for on the internet. I made some of the command button navigation "Go To Layout" buttons and some control buttons "Perform Script" buttons. The control buttons will not perform scripts, which in turn will not go to the next layout. I do have scripts enabled in the web security database and all the buttons work great when I'm inside the FileMaker program.

Any ideas?

thanks,

jamey

From what you have written it appears that you are using IWP. Depending on the version of FMPro you are using there are limits on the scripts which can be run.

To have real control over your browser solution you should use html/cdml - CWP.

Most CWP browser solutions are done without using ScriptMaker because of issues around that tool.

The idea that a novice can "instantly" web enable a set of database of any reasonable complexity is mostly just marketing hype. The basic nature of FM vs. web access to the files is so different. FM access is session based, FM knows who each user is. Each user has a found set, a sort order, a set of global variables, etc. In web access, everything is transaction based. Web Companion and other means of web access look like a single user on the FM side.
