- IntraBuilder Sample Snippets
- Version 1.0
-
- SAMPLES.TXT
- Updated 5:00 PM 8/31/96
-
- This file contains information about the sample snippets that come with
- IntraBuilder Version 1.0. The files in the Samples directory, are meant to
- demonstrate the general functionality of the IntraBuilder designer and to
- provide small samples of JavaScript programming techniques.
-
- IntraBuilder also includes several prebuilt business solution applications.
- These applications can be found in the Apps directory. For more information
- about the prebuilt business solutions, see the README.TXT file in the Apps
- directory.
-
- For general information about IntraBuilder see the README.TXT file in the
- main program directory (by default this is C:\Program Files\Borland\
- IntraBuilder).
-
- Server installation issues are addressed in the file SERVER.HLP, which is
- also located in the main program directory. General installation and
- uninstallation issues are addressed in the file INSTALL.TXT, which remains
- on your installation disk.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SAMPLE FILE SETUP
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The installation program will take care of all configuration items so that
- your web server can communicate with the IntraBuilder server. The exception
- to this is when your web server is WebSite. To run IntraBuilder applications
- with WebSite, you need to make two configuration settings in the WebSite
- Properties dialog. This is described in the SERVER.HLP file in your main
- program directory.
-
- If you encounter any problems getting the sample files to run, see the
- SERVER.HLP file to make sure that the web server has been configured correctly
- to interact with the IntraBuilder server.
-
- After installing IntraBuilder, you can follow these steps to run the sample
- files.
-
- 1. Make sure that your web server is running.
-
- 2. Load the IntraBuilder Server on the same machine as the web server.
-
- 3. Load this page in the browser:
-
- /svr/intrasrv.isv?samples/samphome.jfm
-
- 4. From the samples home page, you will find links to each of the individual
- sample forms.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SAMPLE TABLES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- There are several sample tables in the samples directory so that you can begin
- trying out the IntraBuilder features right away. These tables include:
-
- BIOLIFE.DBF - This is just for fun. It contains pictures and descriptions
- BIOLIFE.DBT of various marine animals.
-
- CUSTOMER.DBF - This is similar to many business tables. It contains the
- CUSTOMER.DBT name, address, and other general information for a set of
- CUSTOMER.MDX customers.
-
- ORDERS.DBF - This table contains order information for the customers in
- ORDERS.MDX CUSTOMER.DBF. The two tables can be related based on the
- CUSTOMER_N field.
-
- LINEITEM.DBF - This table contains line item information for the orders in
- LINEITEM.MDX ORDERS.DBF. The two tables can be related based on the
- ORDER_NO field.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SAMPLE PAGES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- There a few files in the samples directory that demonstrate some of the
- capabilities of the Form Expert and Form Designers. These forms can be
- launched within IntraBuilder by double clicking the file icon in the
- IntraBuilder Explorer. They can be run across the web by following the
- setup instructions below and then loading a URL such as:
-
- /svr/intrasrv.isv?samples/biolife.jfm
-
- BIOLIFE.JFM - This is a simple form that was generated by the Form Expert.
- Then the Form Designer was used to add comments and set
- properties such as background. The navigation buttons were
- created automatically by the Expert.
-
- CUSTORD.JFM - This form demonstrates the use of server-side and client-side
- JavaScript. Changing the value of either Select control
- launches client-side code that then reloads the form to show
- the desired value. Notice the use of the hidden control to
- tell the server what event caused the form to reload.
-
- Note that the onChange event may not fire immediately on your
- browser. Older Netscape browsers will not execute the onChange
- until the select control loses focus. Navigator 3.0 correctly
- fires the onChange as soon as the change is made.
-
- SAMPHOME.JFM - This page was generated by the Home Page Form Expert. It
- contains links to each of the other pages. The page was
- modified in the Form Designer as well. The links (to the
- other pages) that were generated by the Expert were modified
- to be relative to the main installation directory (since you
- can install this to any directory).
-
- SERVER.JFM - This form is more than a sample. It is the actual utility for
- modifying the configurable options of the IntraBuilder Server.
- The form works just as well inside IntraBuilder as it does
- across the web. The form demonstrates the use of external
- functions (Windows API functions in this case). The actual
- API calls are in REGISTRY.JS.

- REGISTRY.JS - Source code for the Registry custom class. It makes use of
- the Windows API to read and write values to the system
- registry.
-
- SAMPLES.TXT - This file.
-
- STRUCMEM.DLL - A function library for working with structures in
- IntraBuilder. The functions are prototyped in STRUCMEM.JS. A
- brief sample in shown in STRUCSAM.JS.
-
- STRUCMEM.JS - IntraBuilder function prototypes for the functions in
- STRUCMEM.DLL. After running this script you can use the
- functions in STRUCMEM.DLL just like built-in JavaScript
- functions.
-
- STRUCSAM.JS - A small sample of using the functions in STRUCMEM.DLL.
-
- Note that the samples make use of some files that are stored in other
- directories. Header files are stored in the Include directory (right under
- your main installation directory).
