BuddySystems Posted December 21, 2000 Posted December 21, 2000 Here's a weird one: I create an order in my orders.html file and then add a product by linking to a productedit.html file. When I go back to the orders.html, my portal is not displaying the products I just added. BUT if I then get out of the order and find it, using the same orders.html file, it displays the order with the portal no problem. Does this make sense?

When you go back you are not making a request to retrieve the information, you are only displaying the information you had previously requested. When you rerequest the data then you get the correctly refreshed portal, because the information has been pulled from the database again. The web interface is not a live interface to your database, it is a query based system that retrieves the information when you ask, then stores it until you ask again. ------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Kurt Knippel Consultant Database Resources mailto:FmPro@home.com http://www.database-resources.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BuddySystems Posted December 22, 2000 Author Posted December 22, 2000 Maybe I wasn't clear - I am not going back by "hitting the back button," but by having a button that is a form that finds the order. But it won't show the portal data. HOWEVER - a text link (<A Href> )works just fine...:
BuddySystems Posted December 22, 2000 Author Posted December 22, 2000 I FIGURED IT OUT! The problem was that I was not specifying a layout! When I did that it works fine!
