I have created a action/submit button for a calendar and it is not working.
Could some one please inform me of where to look. The reset button works and resets all the fields and the page. Lastly, I set some default fields for the calendar and they are seen in my query but not shown in the data field box.This message has been edited. Last edited by: QuickLearner,
What do you mean by create an action/submit button for a calendar ? The calendar is a control by itself so doesn't need an action for it. Is it that you provide a default value for the calendar but when you reset the page the calendar is not reset to the default value ? If so, where the default value is coming from ? A variable, a fex, ...
Be more detailed and parse your code, it may help...

The calendar is coming from a .htm file. After checking the Parameters tab. The binding do not seem to be correct. How do I create bindings. I need to bind the calendar1 to the STARTDATE and calendar2 To the ENDDATE
To bind a control to a variable you must have: 1- a control :-) 2- a variable (&VAR) that comes from a fex 3- a fex (which can be a report or a graph) which is launch from an iFrame or Run button that it's included into the same HTML page from where the control is. When you attach the fex to the iFrame or Button, it will prompt you to add the control on the page this is the first place where you can bind them or in the parameters tab from the HTML Composer
4- YOU DO NEED TO HAVE WF TRAINING !!
This is difficult to explain here where a training will SHOW you how to do it in a minute !!!!

Always have your procedure with all your variables defaulted before you begin your HTML in HTML Composer.
Now there are many ways to do this, so opinions will vary, but I do that first, then when I create a new HTML with a new form, when I link the procedure it creates the controls and links the controls to the variables.
This will also be your bestfriend (next to Google of course)

Before any of my code logic begins, I want to see what my HTML is passing to my procedure.
The fun part comes when you have to add more controls after you have done your initial procedure linkage.
For some reason my control is not binding to my variable in the paramaters tab in the HTML Composer. Is this a glitch. I have WebFocus 8008. Could someone walk me through this process please. Thank you.
Depending on how you've included the variables and the controls, they may not bind automatically, do it manually : click on a control and drag it through the its proper variable.

That worked. I was beating my head on this all day and all I had to do was drag one to the other. Thank you!!!
Ok, they are binding together now. But how come when I click the play/submit button nothing happens I thought after you "bound" them this should create an "action". How do you now make the play/submit button work.
