The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

You will start out with a bad page from Dreamweaver
and make it worse with RPG-CGI.
Ironically Dreamweaver is a drag and drop WYSIWYG editor, including
property sheets, and code-complete prompting.
I only insert two (2) things in an HTML page to interface with an RPG
program. <RECORD> and {{FIELD}} delimeters. Nothing more.
One big difference is that Dreamweaver generates HTML. Now that's a
novel approach; instead of generating intermediate components that
ultimately render as HTML, or generating script that generates DOM
objects. Another irony is that intermediate components implement the
same attributes, events, and methods that are implemented by HTML,
except you need "advanced" tooling to work with them.
I understand that there's some satisfaction in using "advanced" tooling
to generate, generate, generate, but it's overkill in my mind. I prefer
to keep things simple.
If a developer won't learn HTML and Javascript, it's unlikely that
they'll learn a 4th generation language, plus HTML and JavaScript.
