The Gray Line

[Kip]

I have looked through the whole forum and the IWP help pdf. but I couldnt find an answer to this.

When I publish my database with IWP I use a startupscript in order to hide and lock the status area. However I always see this gray line at the left. What can I do to remove this?

I use windows xp / MI explorer

Kip!

You can't remove the gray line in IWP. If you want more control over web publishing, you'll either have to move to Server Advanced, or use a product like cafe PHP with filemaker pro to do custom web publishing.

(No one using my IWP site has complained about the gray line)

Ah! Thanks. Would be nice to see that gray line on your site then.

The IWP part of the site requires login.

The static homepage is:

http://mslab.chem.umn.edu

Click on the Schedule link to go to a IWP page. Follow the directions and use account name guest with no password to enter. You won't be able to schedule time, but you can view other reservations.

It looks like if in the address of your published database, you change -loadframes to -open, the gray line goes away. You'd have to change the location of the link to the site, and i'm not completely sure how that'd work.

how did you do the logout that dropped you back to the original document?? That one had us perplexed

It's just a redirect. You can do it in the header or with javascript. I tried to do it conditionally based on the referring database, but it only works with some browsers.

(btw, you need to modify the iwp_home.html to add this redirect)

It seems that if you use -open instead of -startsession or -loadframes, it doesn't really work right. The page loads without the frame, but the scripted buttons don't work (at least not on Safari, I haven't tried any others.)
