I'm a little confused. Where on the server do my HTML errr CDML pages go?

On the FileMaker Pro host or server machine, the web pages need to be in the WEB folder, under the FileMaker Pro 5 folder. You can have a folder under the WEB folder, but you have to at least start there.

Right you are. Here's a url that will help:

If my machines or server's ip address is x.x.x.x the url for the default.html page for filemaker will be:

http://x.x.x.x/default.html if you have Filemaker set up to server cdml on port 80, otherwise, if you use the default port 591 the url will be: http://x.x.x.x:591/default.html

The default.html will actually be in this location (assuming volume and folder names are the same on your system)???

Ok, after playing around with CDML for a while, I'm really confused. What is this line for?

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format " VALUE="test.htm">

is this the page it will go to after the form is processed?

So basically, I have my .htm page with a bunch of CDML tags inside, but I see some examples with fields in the URL...do I need to do it this way?

I'm really confused

Yes.
