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

You will not be able to use "Instant Web Publishing" as the buttons on your layouts cannot be accessed.

You can probably come up with a satisfactory solution through "Custom Web Publishing", since, using html, one can put buttons on web pages and, through cdml, one can make scripts run from clicking a button on a web page.

How practical your solution will be will depend upon many factors.

Peace

You can most CERTAINLY make a solution using Custom web publishing. A tip: don't think in terms of layouts, scripts and buttons for the web -- they are database eesign elements. For the web think instead of links, urls and controlling/designing the information flow.
