I have found that using the

html =Return this text"

in an OI INET program is not seen by netscape

where Explorer does.

By just trying to fix it I happend to put

a html =Return this text" on the first

line of text to be returned and suddenly Netscape

would see it.

Does anyone know what the in

html = " is use for or what other

codes do in the -1 place?

Thanks,

Roger

R,

Seems you first need to read up on dynamic arrays:

X=Y

appends another element to @FM-delimited array X.

Unless the variable X is null ("")

X=Y

is the same as

X := @FM : Y

or, equivalently,

X=X : @FM : Y

If X is null

X=Y

is the same as

X=Y

I think

X

is the same as just

X

What you do in your Inet procedure is to gradually build up an html page in your Html variable and finally return the value of that variable. An html page normally consists of lines, e.g,

The title of my page

Some page content

You can either have Html as a dynamic @FM-delimited array with one line in each element. (Which is exactly the same as a long string consisting of the lines with the @FM character between them.) That's presumably what you do. You can also have CR LF (Char(13) and Char(10)) between the lines instead of @FM.

With

Html=Return this text"

you append another line in your html page. If some browser won't display that line that can be because there's a syntax error earlier in the html of the page. When a different browser still does display the line, that can be because that other browser is more tolerant towards syntax errors and manages to get down on its feet again past the problematic point.

If you do

Html=Return this text"

you just erase all earlier content of your html page, so it's no wonder the page displays. (Even if you've erased a lot of html codes at the same time.)

You are on the right track. Simply build your variable and then before saving it to a disk file do this:

linefeed=\0A\

convert @fm to lf in varhtml

oswrite varhtml to '\revsoft\oinsight\html\another.htm'

Leigh,

Well, I certainly hope I'm on the right track, because in contrast to R I've already succeeded in making an OI web app.

But why just LF?

(Btw - in my own app I return my html to the client and don't write it to a file.)
