It's complicated!!

Applications Forms
#1

Hi,

Sorry, this is too complex to detail in a subject.

Let me tell you what my site does. When you login you are given a list of records, clicking on one goes to a container class with two containers, the top one shows a little information about the thing you are on and the bottom one has multiple tabs of data. What I need is a way to get back to the first screen, the list of records, and as the container can’t have it’s own exit button, it’s complicated.

I’ve tried a few things already, like forcing a refresh on the page in Javascript (if I do this by hand by pressing F5, it works perfectly) but it doesn’t work.

Any ideas?

Mike

Re: It’s complicated!!

If you create a JS button and tell it to load the first page? This would have to be in the app, not the best solution.

Are you facing the problem of the first app showing in the container, or that you do not have the option to create an exit button the parent container

The container is a bit of a toy for displaying charts and was not considered as being useful for apps.

Hi Scott,

I understand the container are a bit of a toy but they are perfect for my app, as in the information container, I have a counter / stopwatch, so it means I can get all the database updates and nice things in the bottom area and the counter keeps running in the top.

The problem I have is even weirder than the first part showing in the container, if the exit button is there in the container, it creates another information container, so if I exit twice, I get 3 information containers and the detail container.

Your way works perfectly, thanks so much.

Mike
