Online scripts & buttons

[RvK]

Hi,

I have a database which I'd like to put online. Here is my problem: each record has a unique, specific layout. On each layout is a button which performs a script which is unique to that layout. The script pastes a value into a field and then goes to the next record and layout. Can this be done in a way which will work online?

Thanks,

Rvk

If you are talking about using instant web publishing, no. Because instant only supports (displays) buttons that run simple "go to layout" script steps.

You could achieve the same functionality with custom web publishing, but be aware that you are designing a web site not a database so the information flow and interface needs to be a bit different. Scripts can be run easily.

Don't try to duplicate your database layouts as web pages, the web and html formatting just don't work like that. Design the web interface from scratch and you'll have a much better experience.
