How can you retrieve the file name and path of an HTML page and have it appear in the HTML page?

We need to have this info appear on our launch pages.

Thank you.

Where is the HTML page coming from ?

Is it under the IBI_HTML alias ?

Do you want the physical path on the server ?

To be more clear, we need the application folder name that the html page is in, and the filename of the html page to appear in the html page.

This can be easily done with a focexec so that this application name and the focexec filename appear in a report footing. We now need to do the same for html pages.

Is the HTML page being called directly of from a FEX ?

You should be able to get the app folder and name from the URL if its direct.

Typically the URL should be 
http://server/approot/{folder name}/{file name}

There is an HTTP header variable named PATH_INFO, which "supplies any path information attached to the URL after the server address but before the query string." You may be able to parse this value to get the necessary info. For more info see page 283 of the WebFOCUS Security and Administration manual: WF Security and Admin

taking the easy way out,John,
make your html page into a fex
-SET &thisfex = 'thenameyouwant';
-SET &thisapp = 'whateverappname you want';
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
...slap all your htmlcode in here
...add some bits to display whatever vars you want
<TR><TD>THIS IS &thisapp/&thisfex </td></tr>
-HTMLFORM END

Save this .fex as the same name as your original .htm
Now, there are variables that can pull the app and fexname directly,
&FOCFEXNAME and &FOCFOCEXEC, eg.
i can't remember the syntax for the app one, but i'll look it up and get back to you...
But do you get the idea?

The html page is not being called by a focexec. It is being called either another html file or by a URL that the user has added to their Favorites in Intenet Explorer.

If the launch page is named empdata_launch and is in the test application folder in Dev. Studio, they want to see the following at the bottom of the launch page:

Application: test
filename: empdata_launch.htm

Try this out.

<html>
 <head>
  <title> Location Test </title>
  <script type="text/javascript">
   <!--
     function getname() {
       var _PathParts = document.location.pathname.toString().split('/') ;
       document.getElementById('file_locn').innerText = _PathParts[2] ;
       document.getElementById('file_name').innerText = _PathParts[_PathParts.length-1] ;
     }
   //-->
  </script>
 </head>

 <body onload="getname()">
  Application: <span id=file_locn></span>
  <br>
  Filename: <span id=file_name></span>
 </body>
</html>

This does assume that the Appfolder is the second level of the location, but should work.
