iwp and XML

[stuj1026]

Hi everyone I need some help with this

We are running IWP on fmserver10

We have a fairly large database and now have a need to convert some of the data entered to xml and re=submit this to another site thru an http:request. We were just going to create the request and set the web viewer object and then getlayobjectatrribute "content" and parse out the returned XML. but the request is over 3500 characters long. I beleive the length for submission as a url is 2048!

SO!!! the next brainstorm was to build the html in a field and then set the webviewer with text;html followed by the html form code with some javascript to submit on load. Well that seemed to work until i used the getlayobjectatrribute on the returned XML only to discove the only thing that was returned was the http request sent to the web view and not the displayed XML.

2 strikes!!

Next eureka moment is build the html in a field export the field contents to a file then set webviewer to the newly created file which works!! in fm client but NONO exporting field contenst in IWP..

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciaated

Thnks for reading my LONG post.
