well i know some people aren't going to like this. but i can provide a solution that uses javascript. I know a few people in here don't like to use it, but if you want it, give me a little bit and i will see if i can write it out for you.

[davha905]

Yes! Please! I

[elvis_impersonating_penguin]

<script language="javascript">

var howmany = 0

</script>

<table border="0">

<tr>

[FMP-record]

<td>

[FMP-field:Event]

<!--whatever fields you want to display in each table cell go here--->

RE: ...well i know some people aren't going to like this.

Not me. You have my full support! Whatever works -- use it!

[elvis_impersonating_penguin]

Anatoli, thanks.

i just know that when i say the word javascript in here there are a few people that run and hide.. but i'm telling you.. the intranet site i am designing would be no where without javascript..

[davha905]

It works just fine now. Thanx a lot.

[elvis_impersonating_penguin]

bman is gifted by JavaScript. We all will benefit from his abilities in that field.

DO NOT DISCOURAGE HIM!

Important is though to put <NOSCRIPT> You must enable JavaScript </NOSCRIPT> message into HTML

[elvis_impersonating_penguin]

yeah i sometimes forget to put that in.. because i design on a intranet mostly so i know that everyone that uses my site will have javascript..

by the way.. i'm not that gifted in javascript.. i simply know my way around. there are alot of people who know far more about it than i do.

Yes, I agree b'man is gifted is JavaScript. Hecky darn, I agree that JavaScript has its advantages on certain things. I'm all for it and strongly recommend it.

I also strongly recommend understanding cdml. That is why I have written the demonstration which I have written and which includes a solution to running the cdml -script tags on-line safely. If you would like to know, even though my demonstration is based in FileMaker, Web Companion, html and cdml, it does acknowledge the advantage of JavaScript in certain situations. And while the Demonstration I've developed does not use .css or frames, it does acknowledge their usefulness in web development.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that the demonstration which I have developed, and which acknowledges all these things, also offers a way to safely run cdm -script tags on-line.

Perhaps you should recognize the talents of those versed in cdml and spring a few buck for this demonstration. Or is spending your money asking too much? My solution to the -script problem will save you money! <edit - should make you money -kmd>

See the reference in the cdml forum: SIMPLIFY -scripts safely run over the web.

Peace

Keith
