Webbot FP_FieldLink FP_FeidlVal question

newbieTW · Mar 17, 2004

Hi,
I have a result page generated by DRW. All the codes/script are FP
generated. I'm trying to display column_1 but it hyper links to the
value in column_2. Is it do-able? I need to have
fp_fieldlink(fp_rs,"linkpage") and fp_fieldval(fp_rs,"category"). I'm
using FP 2002.

Here is the code in my page:


<%="<a href=""" & FP_FieldLink(fp_rs,"Category") & """>" &
FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"Category") & "</a>"%>


Thanks in advance.

Tara

Hi Tara,

Add the following TD manually to the Table in HTML view,

<td height="19"><a
href="<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"linkpage")%>"><%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"category")%>
</a></td>

Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,

Thank you. It is working now. May I ask few simple questions?
1) Why I can use the FP_FieldVal and FP_FieldLink call even thou I
don't have the <webbot.....> line?

2) Can you recommand some good sites about learning webbot? I went to
3w.org and totally lost. It doesn't have anything I saw in my page
such as s-cloumnname, s-link etc. Is webbot strictly working with
database?

3) What are these fp_fieldval and fp_fieldlink calls? Are they ASP or
ForntPage script? Can you recommand any sites that teach the syntax on
this language? Does it mean I can use these language in the HTML page
where ever I want and have it talk to database without using DRW?

Thanks,
Tara

Hi Tara,

Cool!

1. These are just ASP functions stored in the .inc file under the _fpclass
folder. FP uses them to generate DB related pages in ASP. The webbot is
just a comment line used by FP to recognize it while editting in FP design
mode. When browsed via a browser, the webbot is actually ignored on the
client browser.

2. webbot's are FrontPage specific components. Only in FrontPage could you
use it. We do not recommend users writing webbot tags manually, you could
use the Insert menu to insert components that are webbots.

3. They are ASP calls. They may be used in ASP pages only. ASP code can be
used to talk to a Database without using the DRW, but this requires ASP
programming skills. DRW makes life a lot easier.

There are loads of sites that train you on ASP, these are few good ones,
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp

Vijay
