RE: WebFacing checkbox question

Kelly,

I don't know about checkboxes, but you can use radio buttons to select from
a list of values for any given field (not just a subfile field). Open up
your display-file DDS with Code Designer (from within your webfacing
project). Go to the desired field and add the VALUES keyword along with a
list of acceptable values. Then choose the "Web Settings" tab for that field
and click on "Options for VALUES". That lets you enter a text description
for each of the values. Then just save the display file and re-run the
converter on it. Now when you go to that display, positioning the mouse
pointer on that field will popup a box containing radio buttons for each
acceptable value showing the text descriptions you entered. Selecting one of
the radio buttons will cause the corresponding value to be placed into the
display field.

Hope this helps. Holler if you have any questions.

Richard

I have directions for using radio buttons via Javascript from the "The IBM
WebFacing Tool Converting 5250 Applications to Browser-based GUIs" Redbook.
Does this work for non-subfile options, too? And is there any way to get
radio buttons or check boxes other than adding Javascript to the page?

Thanks,
Kelly
