jwtidwell Posted September 30, 2000 Share Posted September 30, 2000 Well, I'm just finishing a CDML site with frames. Apparently, FM doesn't pass data through a frames page to the nested page within. So, the only way that I found to work around it is load the nested pages without CDML and load a temporary page with some sort of a confirmation button on the pages with CDML and once those buttons are puched it sends the Action to FM to refresh that specific frame with CDML (the nice thing about this that most people don't realize, is you can view information from multiple databases each with their own frame without having to create portals or relationships. Sorry it wasn't a quicky fix...let me know how it works out! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies Vujone Posted October 10, 2000 Author Newbies Share Posted October 10, 2000 no good i've tried to put links in the top frame, and it works fine with link something like FMPro?-db=database&-lay=Layout&Field=some value&-format=abc.html&-find= Works fine, but is giving me grief over Field value. I am currently experimenting with tokens to see if that is gonna work. Thanx for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted October 12, 2000 Share Posted October 12, 2000 I duuno what you're doing, but it works for me. My web browser is Netscape Communicator 4.75 on Macintosh MacOS 9.0.4 if that matters... I just tried it with MsIE 4.5 mac and it works as well. Made with HomePage 3. All I did was type the *whole* url into the frame's path. The frameset has two different databases showing on it. One is a -view the other a -find. The frame page is so small I'll post the htmp code for it here... otherwise go to http://138.25.32.40/frame/default.htm to see it on-line. Note tha the framed pages are not designed to be stand-alone, this is just a quick-and-dirty proof of concept test. --- <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>frame</TITLE> </HEAD> <FRAMESET COLS="50%,50%" FRAMEBORDER=1> <NOFRAMES><BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> <P>This entire page will be displayed in browsers that do not support frames. Edit in this mode to customize this page for non-frame-supporting browsers. For browsers that do support frames, design your page in the Edit Frames mode. </BODY> </NOFRAMES> <FRAME SRC="http://138.25.32.40/gallery/FMPro?-db=pov&-lay=web&-format=thumbs.html&-error=error.html&-max=all&Category=Architecture&-find" NAME=left MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 FRAMEBORDER=1> <FRAME SRC="http://138.25.32.40/surveytest/FMPro?-db=web&-lay=web&-format=new.htm&-view" NAME=right MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 FRAMEBORDER=1> </FRAMESET> </HTML> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arin Posted October 12, 2000 Share Posted October 12, 2000 For this link: http://138.25.32.40/frame/default.htm The Right Frame (on line survey) didn't work for me (Submit button didn't show up - tags only). -Mac 8.6, Netscape Comm. 4.7 [This message has been edited by Arin (edited October 12, 2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
