Hi Again!
We are almost finished with setting up our database and putting it up on line, but one more stumbling block has presented itself.
While attempting to create an html page with links to specific groups of records sorted by a field named "Category" and using the syntax from the Readme file, we are getting an HTML Error 400 message that reads as follows:
"HTTP Error 400
400 Bad Request
Due to malformed syntax, the request could not be understood by the server. The client should not repeat the request
without modifications."
The readme file states:
"To do a search for 'cgi' in a field called 'title' you could do: http://server.com/cgi-bin/db.cgi?db=mydb&uid=default&view_records=1&title=cgi"
So I modified that syntax to read:
"<a href="http://IDunno4Recipes.com/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?db=archive&uid=default&view_records=1&category=Appeteasers Dips & Snacks">Appeteasers Dips & Snacks</a>"
The FrontPage98 editor wants to alter the "&" to "&" but even when I correct that by editing the page in Notepad, we still get the same error.
1) Do you see anything I am missing here?
2) Can the Short Display be expanded to create a three tier display returning first only a list of available Categories, that can be clicked on to return a list of all records with the desired data in the specified field?
3) Are we asking way too much?
Hope you can get back to me soon as tomorrow is the announced launch date for this project. I thought this part would be simple. Silly me!
Thanks,
Big Britchs
