R6 ~ Creating a Web Application Fundamental Problem

Guidence sought . . Please?

I am creating a trial web application and limiting myself to Commands and Functions and an assumption that the user will not have Java Applications able to run ~ which is “working fine” so far.

My main sticking points are:

URL Commands:~ I can control the start and quantity of items to display in a view BUT I cannot capture “where I am”, to influance a Next / Previous . . so that they do not appear imappropriately.

EXPORTS : I wish to cause an email or download of a view as a spreadsheet but cannot find guidance.

I am wondering if there is a more basic sample site / practical tutorial / book which may give me some opportunity to try things out?

Any help greatly appreciated.

THANKS

Simon

Simon:

For your first question:

NavigateNext and NavNext

The NavigateNext and NavNext @commands open the next document in the current view or folder.

@Command([NavigateNext])

or

@Command([NavNext])

For Web applications, you can only use these @commands on forms; you cannot use them in views or folders.

These @commands are equivalent to a URL command formatted as follows:

http://host/database/universalID?OpenDocument

Issue on the web is that the web page has no concept of a cursor, like a notes view, so you’re not anywhere in the view when displayed on the web.

As to your second question, if you mean export from a web page to an excel file, check codestore.org for a clever idea
