remember tokens?

[ibiubu]

I have a web page that performs a search. Depending on that search result, a new web page opens (summary.html) with the correct CDML to show those results from my database.

I am going to add a link on summary.html to link to another web page called help.html that is totally unrelated to the database.

Is it possible to add a button in the help.html page that when clicked will go back the the original summary.html page and remember the search criterial used and show the same info.

For reasons I wont get into I cant have the new page open in its own window.

Right now if I am in the web page that is in the filemaker chain (summary.html), my link to the new non-filemaker chain page is as follows:

<a href="help.html"><img src="help.gif" height="26" width="26" border="0"></a>

So I dont quite get what I should add into this link to keep the chain alive into the help.html page. And on the help page I want to add a link back to the summary.html page and have it remember the chain.

Larry,

You can make the link look like this:

code:

---

<a href="FMPro?-db=anydb.fp5&-format=help.html&-view"><img src="help.gif" height="26" width="26" border="0"></a>

You can add tokens to reconstruct the find for returning to the previous page. You could also look at using [FMP-link] with '-view' to maintain the original url.

You can have the help page appear as a new window, then just close the window when finished.

Also, you can call the help page with '-view', hence preserving the FM chain. This way you will be able to pass tokens or use the 'link' tag.

All the best.
