CDML to LDML conversion problem

Featured Replies

I recently created a database/web solution using CDML and successfully hosted it on my computer via FM Companion. But my company needed to have the website online all the time, so we selected a Filemaker hosting company and now the database is on their servers. Only problem is, they use Lasso. They told me that the only change I would have to make is change the form action to "action.lasso", which I did, and most of the CDML format files work fine, with one exception.

That exception is that value lists that I'm calling dynamically don't work. The website has a page where our members can edit their own profiles. The non-value list fields, like "type in your name" come up fine with database information intact, but the checkboxes and radio buttons are blank, not reflecting the data that IS in the database. On another page, the same value lists are called (but without editable fields) and the value list items that are checked for each profile ARE there--it's only on the page where the fields can be edited that they're missing.

Our web host says that Lasso is 99% compatible with CDML, and that this must be a glitch. But this glitch is huge! Does anybody have any insight into this? I've been all over the web and to Blueworld's website, and the general consensus seems to be that Lasso should be converting the tags--but it isn't. ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks.
