Hiding the URL containing requests

[Tony]

Does anyone have any way of hiding the URL that contains the calls to the database through the web companion. I'm not interested in using frames - any other solutions would be great.

Use forms.

eg

<form action="FMP" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="-db" value="myDB.fp5">

<input type="hidden" name="-layout" value="allfields">

<input type="hidden" name="-format" value="results.html">

<input type="text" name="fieldname">

<input type="submit" name="-find" value="Press Here">

</form>

Hope this helps.

The only way is to either use forms as said above, use frames (which you don't want to) or have the "active" pages open in a popup window with no address bar.

Thanks guys I will have a play.

I had a play and it all worked well - please excuse my lack of knowledge for the next question - how do I then hide the FMP request in a URL when the link is generated by a 'FMP-LinkRecID' option?

Yeah,

or you can try to do some InLines stuff.

As GoLive HTML guru I do HATE frames.

As FileMaker programmer I do LOVE frames! Frames are FileMaker best friends!

Frames?
