Jan Ferguson Data Software Solutions, Inc. ![]() | Hey all,
I'm still very much a web-development neophyte. Any assistance would be appreciated... I am creating a "test" project which resembles a current client's web site. I want to open a new form (a "Services" page of the web site) but cannot for the life of me find the right code. I have searched all the EWB newsgroups but couldn't find anything either. In Delphi I would be using frmServices.ShowModal -or- frmServices.Show, but obviously that won't work in web development. Can someone guide me in the right direction? Thanks in advance... -- Jan Ferguson |

Raul ![]() | Actually you can do just that : frmServices.ShowModal or
frmServices.Show both are valid. Depending on how you want the interface to be you can also hide the original form (or resize the new form so it fully covers the other one). EWB is based on object pascal laguage and does the heavy lifting of figuring out what the form.show really means in javascript so you won't have to. Raul On 4/8/2012 9:32 PM, J.

Jan Ferguson Data Software Solutions, Inc. ![]() | Thanks Raul...
Yup, you're 100% correct. I am not used to some of the error messages in the compiler. When it told me the variable, function, etc. could not be found I never thought about the fact that I was missing the form's name in the Uses clause. DUH!! I guess I'm also spoiled when Delphi tells you that you missed it. Thanks for confirming that it could be done. -- Jan Raul wrote: > Actually you can do just that : frmServices.ShowModal or > frmServices.Show both are valid. |

Yup, I realize that. I had never received any error messages on the very minimal projects I was playing with. This project is actually going to be a full-fledged website, replacing the one written using a template. Therefore I am doing things I had never done before in EWB. I'm happy to say that things are coming out really nice. I just wish there was a way to bring up another web page (same domain) using a TButton and code instead of the TLink. The TLink is nice but there is one button I need to use to do this in order to keep things consistent. -- Jan Tim Young [Elevate Software] wrote: > Jan, > The compiler hints are still very basic, but will slowly improve over > time.

You'll be able to embed HTML docs in your EWB application, therefore your EWB application becomes the "shell" or "template", while the HTML docs are your "content". << I'm happy to say that things are coming out really nice.

However, please keep in mind that doing so will unload the current EWB application. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I worked around it actually by creating a new page and on that page I placed several TLinks which created what I wanted to do. -- Jan |
