dropdown lists in CDML

[wobbie]

I seem to have a problem to get my valuelists from the db to my webinterface.

I've used the following code in my html pages

choose

[FMP-option: field1, list=list1]

I've copied this from a working solution and adapted it to my fields and lists.

I've tried the help function on this forum and i've tried google but can't find the solution...

A simple version of the db and html pages can be found here

I use filemaker pro 6 and panther.

Thanks

Hi, w! For some reason, I couldn't open the downloaded db to check, but if this is your actual code taken from another working example, could it be a simple typo in your -lay tag... "normaal" or "normal", or was that just a typo in the post or a language issue?

Hi Wobbie,

Try it this way:

[FMP-VALUELIST: field1 ,LIST=list1]

[FMP-VALUELISTITEM][/FMP-VALUELIST]

See you

Steve T -> the name of the layout is a language issue -) I've dubbelchecked the DB and layout name, the name of the field and the list. Everything looks ok...

Jukkie -> The example didn't work either. When i implemented this code i just got a dropdown menu that displayed part of the code and not the items in my valuelist...

I have no idea why this won't work...

Hi, w! Here is some code from a working solution I had for radio buttons...

[FMP-ValueList: eventtype, list=eventtype_list]

[FMP-ValueListItem]

[/FMP-ValueList]

Adpating it for a dropdown menu, I'd suggest trying...

title

[FMP-ValueList: eventtype, list=eventtype_list]

[FMP-ValueLIstItem]

[/FMP-ValueList]

Hope it helps!

Hello Wobbie,

I did this to make your solution work.

First of all I put the test.fp5 database as a multi user and enabled web.

After that I made a default page with a link to your searh page. The link is a CDML tag.

When you click the link you connect to the database and get the result you want.

Put de enclosed (see the Attached file: test.zip) default.htm en search.htm page in your filemaker web route, open the database test.fp5.

type in browser: http://localhost/default.htm

I hope you can make it work.

Works perfectly know! Thanks for the help.

Even my original code works if i use a cdml link to connect to the database.

Thats right Wobbie,

The page that contains information from a filemaker database needs first to connect to that database so it can collect the information what is needed to show online.
