cdml onclick
Hi Mark,

This site has been working with frames using Filemaker Pro 6 and HTML. When I converted it to XSLT (or rather when the CDML Converter from Filemaker converted it), it complained about the onclick so I deleted that part. However, now I can't get it to work without the onclick. It probably is not connected, but I didn't have anything else to blame for the failure.

I looked into XSLT processors, but need one that works on a Mac. Will followup with the ones that I downloaded the other day and see what happens. Thanks.

Shirley, you might want to consider using CSS to mimic the functionality of frames. I tried to do something like what you are wanting to do but gave up trying to use frames because I was stuck with using MSXML which doesn't have an extension function for producing multiple output documents. So unless you are certain that you are in a position to be able to use an XSLT processor such as Saxon to achieve this, you might want to consider other options.

You haven't stated whether you want to have frames generated dynamically or whether you would produce static HTML files behind the scenes.

Also, if you plan on publishing this on the web, keep in mind that not every client browser will be able to process something like this dynamically, so you'll want to either stick to static HTML files or have the webserver do the XML processing.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the list and to XSLT (but I am learning). I had the following html that worked on a site with two frames. This was in the default.html:

<FRAMESET COLS="16%,64%" FRAMEBORDER=1>
<FRAME SRC="WaiverNav.htm" NAME=a MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 FRAMEBORDER=1 title="Naviagation Area">
<FRAME SRC="WaiverHome.htm" NAME=b MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 FRAMEBORDER=1 title="ESMO Configuration Modification Request Home Page">
</FRAMESET>


On the default.xsl, it is the following:

<frameset cols="16%,64%" frameborder="1">
<frame src="waivernav.xsl" name="a" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="1" title="Navigation Area"/>
<frame src="waiverhome.xsl" name="b" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="1" title="ESMO Configuration Modification Request Home Page"/>
</frameset>


Below is the html that used onclick (in waivernav.html) to put the target frame in the right-hand frame:

<TD ALIGN=center id=srch abbr="Search for a CMR">
<P><INPUT TYPE=button NAME=SearchSyLg VALUE="Search CMRs " onclick="window.top.b.location.href='FMPro?-db=WebWaivers.fp5&-lay=Normal&-format=WaiverSearch.htm&-view';return true;"></P>
</TD>



In the XSLT, I am using many forms to get buttons to work to make the target pags to work properly with Filemaker Pro. Below is one of the forms used with a button:


<form method="post" name="SearchforCMR"><xsl:attribute name="action">waiversearch.xsl</xsl:attribute>

<p><input type="hidden" name="-db" value="WebWaivers"/>
<input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="Normal"/>
<input type="hidden" name="-token.error" value="search_error.xsl"/>
<input type="Submit" name="-view" value="Search"/>



</p> </form>

I have tried many different things, but can't figure out where to put onclick to do the same thing in xsl (the pages always wind up taking up the whole page) or whether there is some other way to do this.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
