Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest V3 #189

Basically, you are limited by what the web browser can do and how well
you know HTML, not what the AS/400 can do.  You build the HTML
file to view from your RPG program as you want it to appear.  You can
imbed any information you want, including AS/400 data base information
in HTML format.

After you build the display for the user, you need to look at the POST
keyword in HTML and how it works, the types of information you can
POST back.  POSTed information gets stuck on the end of the URL
that the browser calls, so then you can parse out the information from
the URL.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
