The below URL is a tutorial for creating an order form. I checked it out and it looks very good. You have several options also. I like it so much I'm bookmarking the spot for myself too. http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll/jstutor6.htm?reload_coolmenus hth Jan • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.

Well, shit... I don't envy you. Then again, if you saw the project I'm working on, I'd probably get some sympathy from you too :^) I guess in answer to your original question, there's no way to shorten the call to the javascript protocol... OH HEY!!! DUH! How bout just using the onclick attr

You're absolutely correct, and that's the basic idea of what I originally thought I was getting into (i.e., building a Web app to correspond to the equivalent 5250 app). The fundamental problem is, we can't do it that way. The app itself is some 12-13 years old, has thousands of users worldwide, ha

Scott, So... you're trying to automagically regurgitate an app coded in as html? Ermm... Don't AS/400's use the DB2 database format? Why not build a web app? I understand that that is what "Web Options" is supposed to be doing for you, but it seems you'd be better off if you just used the data

Hi Jen As Ross says, most of the list members are busy. I sent you about 7 URLS (off list) that I checked out and they do have order forms. The problem with scripts, sometimes, is that they are not "perfect" and many times need to be modified to do what you need. I'm not the greatest in Javascr

Thank you, Stephen (and Pau). I see the relevance now to the original question. Unfortunately, while undoubtedly "the way to go" for normal Web pages, and an approach that I will definitely keep in mind for future applications, I'm afraid this approach is not appropriate for our application. Again,

What the article (which /is/ very good) is implying is that you should be using event listenters rather than making a call to the javascript protocol in the href attribute. In your instance, something like: (given the following html) contextual link here's the appropriate JS (regardless of wh

Doesn't it now? ;-) At my former position, I used Delphi exclusively for application development from versions 1 through 5 (about '95 to 2001). Then came the downsizing and I had to face the exigencies of the job market (30:1 ratio of VB to Delphi positions), so I got VS 6.0 and got my MCP. I had

As it happens, that was the first thing the boss tried when this came up (i.e., using "js:foo(bar);), which is when he became pretty sure that IE didn't recognize "js" as a token for javascript. Cheers, Scott - Original Message - From: "Bj" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sen

I managed to avoid COBOL when I was doing my degree and A-Levels, but from some onscure reason it was replaced with LISP. Not that I can remember a damn thing of course - all those parentheses hurt my brain :( And I always found Pascal to be a problem too, but Delphi makes it very nice now lol...
