I want to make a link from the left frame of the page to right. If I write "http://www.myservername.de/cgi-local/dbman/db.cgi?db=$db_setup&uid=$db_uid&add_form=1 target=db[/url]" I get always this error "DBMan encountered an internal error. Please enable debugging to view." What schall I do to make a correct Link to the right frame "db" . I want to keep thus authentication mode.

Try this, notice the extra quotes.


"http://www.myservername.de/cgi-local/dbman/db.cgi?db=$db_setup&uid=$db_uid&add_form=1" target="db"

Hi,



it doesn't work. You wrote me the same what I wrote in question. Have you perhaps some more ideas?



thanks in advance

Read joematt's instruction more carefully. He has changed your code very slightly.

Hi,

ich have read it good. I have done it so how he said. But it doesn't work.

Let's start over.

First, does the code produce a valid link if you just load it in the same frame?

Second, what does the link look like when the error is returned? (what is in the address bar of the browser?)

Third, the default dbman will automatically put in the db=xxx and userid=xxx after a sucessful login, it does this based on $db_script_link_url

such as <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&add_form=1">Add</A>

so maybe try <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&add_form=1" target="db">Add</A>

If you place your hyperlink code in the left frame, you do not need to specify the target frame if you set the frames page default target for the left frame to whatever the name of the target frame is.

eg:

<frameset cols="119,*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="nav.htm"> ## This is where the target frame is specified. ##
<frame name="main" src="main.htm" scrolling="auto">
</frameset>


The dbman database will then be launched in that frame.

Hi...This is no the problem with tha names of the frames.

The problem is that I cannot link left frame with the right frame. For example: I want to add a new item. I press on left side of the page Link with link :a href="http://www.servername.de/...b_uid&add_form=1" target="db" and get an error on the right side of the page "DBMan encountered an internal error. Please enable debugging to view." What shall I do to repair this error?

Now I see the problem.

How to explain?

If you want the left frame to be valid links, then it must be generated by dbman following the login.

You may need to read up in the FAQ about frames.

The simplest way would be to present the logon link in the left frame to begin with, then the output (links for add etc.) would automatically go there following logon. Then the links for adding can include target="db".

Alternately you can use javascript to force output into a specific window, but that requires all users to enable javascript.

Otherwise, the way I understand it, you would need to put frame codes into the html_print_headers and then the SCR= for each frame are calls to dbman (one of which is a logon).


Here is an example of part of an html file that makes several calls to dbman, you need to get dbman to generate something like this after logon.
