what is the best way to setup a hompage for filemaker?

If my domain name is pointed to 1.1.1.1, what is the best way to have that page with a search form on it to work so that is know to search 1.1.1.1:591/folder/

I tried to set the form action to ":591/folder" but it put a slash before the ":".

Try this:

<form action="http://domainname:591/FMPro" .....

or

<form action="http://1.1.1.1:591/FMPro" .....

Good Luck

I tried that but it appends it to the intial address

www.domain.com/:591/folder

or

www.domain.com/www.domain.com:591/folder

Maybe if I will understand the question...

Let me try again...

I have the domain name pointing to the clients hompage which is a static html page.

Now I would like that page to have a search form on it to query the FMP database. What I can not figure out is how to have form build the correct search string.

I have tried:

action=":591/FMPro"...

and

action="http://domainname:591/FMPro" .....

but I get:

www.domain.com/:591/folder

or

www.domain.com/www.domain.com:591/folder

Hope that explains it.

You may using method="get" rather than method="post" ("get" is the default).

Good Luck.

Why don't you show us the HTML code?
