Explorer - Safari Differences?

[Dan Raguse]

We are using CDML in form tags to allow the web user to do a search on a FM database. We're hosting on an e-Mac running OSX 10.2.8 and FM 6.04 Unlimited, and using web companion as the sole webserver (we get less than 1000 hits a week). We allow the web user to enter text into a form text field which we use as a search parameter. The submit does a find and then returns the results to a format html file. (We've followed the CDML examples)

Here's the problem: Safari returns results correctly. Explorer returns 0 records found. Anything we should be looking at particular to Explorer? The code has been checked and rechecked. Any one have an idea? Thanks for your help. I'm a newbie to this forum.

Could you show here some CDML code?

Damned timely. Like Anatoli says post your code.

A timely aside:

This site has just had an update of some sore (oops that should be sort).

I'm submitting this on a Mac G3 OS 8.6 through IE. It looks like the previous forum. On my Mac G3 OS 9.0 with NN 7.0, it looks the same. And tonite I could access the Internet forums to read without logging in first on both these Mac systems/browser apps. (I hope that they have gone back to that.)

What is interesting is that on this Mac (8.6) using the same NN app, the formating of the browser page now completely sucks rotten eggs through a bent straw. It is not at all like IE (both OS's) or NN on the OS9.

So I can appreciate (as a client) your problem (as a developer).

It must be nice to have an OSX machine and 6.0.

FYI there is a new WC updater for 6.0.

You may need to add this extra line in the Form:

<input type="hidden" name="-find">

Good Luck.

I'm sorry I didn't include the code in my original post. I really appreciate anyone's willingness to help . The problem is weird. The search works fine in all browsers if you click the find button at the bottom of the search page. But if you press the return or enter key after entering a search parameter in the text field, Netscape and Explorer return no records found, while Safari returns the correct search results. Here's the code:

<FORM ACTION="FMPro" METHOD="POST">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" Name="-db" Value="catalog.fp5">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" Name="-lay" Value="detail">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" Name="-error" Value="CS_R_E.html">

<TR VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT>

<TD class="text10"><BR>

<B>Keywords:</B> </TD>

</TR>

<TR VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT>

<TD class="text10">

<SELECT NAME="-op" class="text10">

<OPTION>equals

<OPTION>not equals

<OPTION SELECTED>contains

<OPTION>begins with

<OPTION>ends with

</SELECT>

<INPUT NAME="Keywords" VALUE="" TYPE="text" SIZE=30 MAXLENGTH=255>

</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-max" VALUE="10">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format" VALUE="CS_R.html">

<TD class="text10"><BR>

<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="-find" VALUE="Find" class="text10">

<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear" class="text10">

</TD>

</TR>

</FORM>
