basic navigation help

[nati]

hello,

I have done the simple creations using CDML and the custom web publishing and have done successfully. Now I would want to know what is the best method to do this more complicated;

Users go to web site and enter the registration information. The "submit" button then check the database to see if they have done the registration before. If not then create the record in database. If so then the notification that it exists.

Can someone give me please the overall design of this perhaps in the necessary html file sequence?

all help appreciated,

nati

Nati,

Your page sequence could be like this:

1. Enter Name Page - Submit - If found present 'details' page else 'new form' page. Use 'error' format file for not found/new person.

2. New Form Page. Use '-new' for submitting the details. Return 'thankyou.html' page.

3. Details Page. Update with '-edit' submission.

Use the 'CDML Reference' database for explanations of the cdml tags. This database can be downloaded from the Filemaker site. It is in the 'CDML Tools' bundle.

All the best.
