Re: Passing a URL to the web interface

I found that text file on the web server in:

C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro 5.5\Web

and made the change, but it still doesn't work:

My "<" and ">" characters are still getting converted, so my HTML tags don't
get read.


<TD VALIGN=MIDDLE>
Test<br>&#60;a
href=&#34;http://www.foo.com/&#34;&#62;FOO&#60;/a&#62;</TD></TR>
<TR><TD COLSPAN=3><HR></TD>


How do I turn the translation to HTML escape characters off for data that is
being read in from one of the variables?

In the isp.cust.techsupport.txt format file, you can change this:

[FMP-Field: Notes, Break]

to:

[FMP-Field: Notes, Raw]

(keep in mind carriage returns will only show if you do a <BR> after that.
