Value lists disappear?

[lzeng]

Hi there:

I use "-Find" to get a list of records, for each record, I make a link to show the whole info about this record using [FMP-LinkRecID], the file is named "response.htm",which stores all the info about a record, surprisely, all the value lists in "response.htm" can't be shown up, but the other info in text field is shown up. I'd like to say that "response.htm" works fine when I generate new record and make "-Format=response.htm". Does somebody know why this happens?

Another question is: when I do "-edit" function in "response.htm", I got "Error 102: field is missing" even I fill out all the fields in the form. How can I prevent this error?

The final question is: I use "ID" to uniquely identify records (auto-enter, serial value, increment by 1), then how to make the ID back to 0 after testing. Something wrong in my code, now the ID number jumps to 32658 although in FileMaker, I've set the "ID" serial next value to 0 and increment by 1.

Thanks very much in advance for all the help you offer!

It sounds very much like some of the fields are missing from the layout specified in the -lay CDML tag.

Work through your format files and determine which fields are used on them, and make sure there is one of them on the layout specified in the -lay tag.

What is your code to produce the valuelists, checkboxes and radiobuttons which are not showing?

Also, as an alternative to using the fmpro valuelist, it is quite possible to create your buttons, checkboxes and pop-up lists using standard html code which is connected with cdml to a field which is formatted as standard in the layout designated for web use. I find this approach much more direct and easier to implement.

SIMPLIFY ...

If you still get error 102, check the field names in the CDML tags very carefully. They must be identical including leading and trailing spaces.

Rule No. 1 -- never ever type name of field, copy paste from FM layout to HTML/CDML page!

Ok, Ok. Hmmm... so where do the rules "never use the Today function", "never run scripts over the web" and "never open a FMP database from a shared volume" fit in? <grin>

I checked again and again on the format file, all the fields needed are included in the "Layout" page. Now the strange thing is that: only value lists - radiobuttons, checkboxes can't be shown up in the format file, but other type of fields are fine.

Can somebody help me again? Thanks!

Vaughan -- feel free to arrange all don’ts

Let say my rule is Number 1 in CDML-HTML department.

Do not run scripts is Number 1 for Web Companion.

Today is general FileMaker

Shared volume is Network tip.

So we have plenty of No.'s 1
