Maintain within Iframe? [SOLVED]

Hello All,

I would like to have a maintain form be displayed on a IFrame of a tab control. Is this possible? Is there some way to use the on-click event of the tab item, to load the maintain onto that "pages" iframe?

Is there some documentation that any one could point me to for some self-help?

Thanks.

I did something like this. It's a drill down from a report. Here is the link:

TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N2,
TARGET='CLFrame',
URL=/ibi_apps/WFServlet?(MOVINFO_MOVIECODE_Edit=N1 IBIF_cmd='MNTCON EX movinfo' IBIS_passthru='on' IBIS_connect='on' IBIAPP_app='closeloop ibisamp baseapp' IBIC_server='EDASERVE'),

This passed the value from the column and launched the MNT file in a frame called CLFrame.

I also did something like this, as well.

I think that mine was a also called from a report.

Did it about 5 years ago.

Absolutely.

Don't know about documentation, as this is straightforward.

Create your TABbed HTML page. Select the TAB that you want the maintain to appear in and add an iFrame. From the TAB select events and select the onclick event. In the javascript area you need something like:
//Begin function tabitem2_onclick
function tabitem2_onclick(ctrl) {
window.frames.frameName.location.href = 'http://server/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_cmd=MNTCON EX maintainName';
}
//End function tabitem2_onclick

Alan B,

Thank you for your help.

One last question.

How do I specify a application folder where my FEX's, MNT's and HTML's reside? If my folder was "data_requests" how do I code the URL?

Thanks again.

You can use either:
window.frames.frameName.location.href = 'http://server/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_cmd=MNTCON EX maintainName&IBIAPP_app=data_requests';
or
window.frames.frameName.location.href = 'http://server/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_cmd=MNTCON EX data_requests/maintainName';

This is valid only for the call to the Maintain. You would normally set the paths in EDASPROF.

I think that I would suggest using a form, with METHOD set to POST, for security reasons.

Alan thank you very much. Your help has got me going!

Waz, I'm new to Maintain, having taken 1 course. What do you mean "I would suggest using a form, with METHOD set to POST, for security reasons."

Thanks All.

As this is a TABbed HTML form, the url will be invisible to the casual user. If someone wants to pry, a POST will not help. You will need SSL.

This method is normally fine.
