I tried to show a colleague this demo:-

http://www.elevatesoft.com:8080/formsubmit/formsubmit.html

but get an error on submitting the form ... HTTP Status 404 - /formsubmit
(requested resource is not available).

Tried the other demos and they seem to work OK.

Trying to sell colleague on making EWB our major development tool and errors
don't help

If I succeed then I'll be making a nuisance of myself on the EWB newsgroups


Cheers

Jeff

Jeff,

<< but get an error on submitting the form ... HTTP Status 404 - /formsubmit

I just didn't set up the EWB Web Server to handle the form submittal.  By
default, the EWB Web Server won't echo back form submittals like the local
web server in the IDE.

This example ships with EWB, so if you run it in the IDE the submittal will
echo back as expected.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Yes, but ...   I'm trying to sell the idea of an internet based system and
I'm showing him what can be done.  He is also 5 hours drive away so viewing
it in the IDE is not an option.

He was particularly interested in using voice recognition software for
entering stuff into an app and I can't demo that using the form submittal
app on the website.

Well, for now you could tell him that form submittals work just fine, it's
only an issue with the back-end web server that was missed.  The only thing
the demo does is have the web server on the other end echo back the form
values to the application.  That's it.  It doesn't actually *do* anything.

You can use any of the other demos to demonstrate this.  This one, for
example:

http://www.elevatesoft.com:8080/datasetclient/datasetclient.html

allows editing in the grid and the memo control.

Jeff,

Almost forgot - you can view the form submittal in action here:

It looks a little different because it's using an older version, but the
functionality is the same.

All's well - he is convinced anyway.
