If ever you see a FMP-based forum (it's gotta be FMP based) that has a neet feature like this, download the custom html format file to directly to see how it's done.

To download the format file you first need to find out what its name is: either look in the url or if a form is used, look at the html source for the form ad it'll be there.

Then just type in the url of the web site, directlry then the name of the format file and it will display in the browser!

For instance, the Database Pros web site has a list of resources. The page has 1-2-3 down the bottom. Looking at the url for the page...

http://www.databasepros.com/FMPro?-DB=resources.fp3&-lay=cgi&-format=list.html&-find=+&category=tip+file&-FIND=+&released=1&-sortfield=new&-sortfield=rating&-sortfield=creation_dat e&-sortorder=descend&-max=5

... the format file is list.html. So browse http://www.databasepros.com/list.html and you will see that the page numbers are actually hard-coded and assume a maximum of 100 pages.

BTW there was a discussion some time ago regarding ways to prevent people being able to see the CDML code this way. Basically there is no way to prevent it.

Hi, probabli everybody had look at the bottom side of this forum and saw something likes this:

Page: 1 2 3

... where the numbers are linked and when you click on the number 2, for example, the content of the second page are displayed for you...

My question is: How can I do it using CDML tools? Does it possible? frown.gif

There are 2 issues:

1. CDML in HTML code

2. The ability of users to "fiddle" with links in URL line in browser.

1. Some of the code is not shown e.g. If branching and field names. Some code is always present.

2. If designer will use "Forced frames", there is slim chance the user can freely manipulate the URL part. It gives better security. But no chance of bookmarking.
