Hey

I've currently built a database in filemaker Pro 6 and which to use CDML to link the database through to my dreamweaver site. I understand that i have to use CDML tags but i dont know what they are or how to use them.

Any help would be great.

If you can post here or send to [email protected]

"I understand that i have to use CDML tags but i dont know what they are or how to use them."

First, search this CDML forum for a thread with the title CDML Reference Database. Use the link there to get that. It tells you what the CDML tags do.

Next, search the Sample Files forum for examples of web/browser/CDML solutions. Those are free. From them you can get all the basics for writing format files to interact with FMPro.

Third, as you have questions search the Internet forums for the key words of your problem. It has probably been covered here. It too is free. If you cannot find the answer, then try posting your question, including the code with which you are having difficulty.

Finally, have fun.

Leb i Sol, the clickable links like you have been posting (above) cause the browser page to then need horizontal scrolling to read the @#$* thread.

This can be eliminated by making your links clickable. For instance, you could have written:

"Check this link, [URL=;http://link_string]click here[/URL].". (code for left and right square brackets)

This would have presented itself on the page as "Check this link, click here."

"cause the browser page to then need horizontal scrolling "

ha?

it works just fine (on my borwser IE 5.5) and the same as your link

the reason I post them as above so people can do copy paste entire URL if need - rather than seeing just "click here".

anyway...cburri01 seem to have lost the intrest in the post..soo

1. Whether in I.E or NN, your link causes the need to scroll the thread horizontally.

2."the reason I post them as above so people can do copy paste entire URL if need" Yes, but if one clicks a highlighted reference, one can then copy the URL from the address bar. Click on the highlighted "click here" I posted above and then copy the URL you posted.

3. One can also add to the "http://link_string" code for a 2nd window by appending target="blank". While I did not do that above, I have in the past. It allows one to check the reference and then just close that 2nd window and be right where one left off.

ok... no.1 is not the case on my browsers...

right-click -- open in new br. window work just as good...but anyway why are we wasting time on this conversation.. LOL

Here is a little history on CDML. Others can correct me if I'm wrong. This is how I remember it.

Apple owned Claris. Claris owned the FileMaker Product. FileMaker became its on Inc

CDML stands for Claris Dynamic Markup Language.

Claris came out with a real good CDML/HTML editor, Home Page (discontinued) works with Mac os ... 9.xx. Home Page linked directly with Filemaker Pro. This is what I used to learn CDML. I do not have it any more. Maybe someone can get you a copy. I think it is on the FileMaker 3 Install CD. Here some File to get you started.

Here is the CDML Reference.sit file

Here is CDML Tool.sit file

Go to www.mactherapy.co.uk/cdml and dowload their config file.

This allows Dreamweaver to see FMPro/CDML tags, and shows them in design view !!
