Clarion to HTML

[offline]

Hi to everyone!!!
I am a beginner in clarion and with a little help of a friend of mine i managed to make my first .exe file. The problem is me and my friend tryed everything in order to make it as html with no luck. The html version looks very nice but some functions are not working while they are working when i run the exe.
I am so desperate to make it to html so any help is welcome.

Have in your mind that i am a begginer so a step by step procedure will be much appreciated.

I am very experienced clarion programmer, but I have not understood your problem. If you explain me your problem I will help you.

me thinks you are referring to the WebBuilder HTML extensions. Mostly the templates will translate the win32 interface to HTML but you will always have things that do not exist from one platform to the next. It is a balance when using auto-translation/conversion tools versus writing the code yourself

Thanks for your quick replies.

I think that gearhead must be right that i'm referring to the Webbuilder HTML. But to be 100% sure i ll explain what exactly i need to do.

As i said i ve got a fully working .exe file made by clarion. What i need to do is to publish it to the web and make it to work online. Because the .exe file is only for offline purposes. I tryed to read the HTML help files which reffering that i must load the different templates but i had no luck .

Thanks in advance!!

The architecture is such that the HTML output generated from a Clarion EXE with the WebBuilder extensions is that the executable program produces HTML at runtime by request. So you would need to deploy the EXE file and supporting html skeletons along with the application server in order for this to work. This is not what you expect I think from your message.

An alternative is something like the vendors Clarion/ASP extensions.

Thanks a lot gearhead this is exactly what i want. Because i was getting errors that had something to do with the skeletons.

What exactly is the process to follow from the beggining? Is it any help document providing all the required procedure?
Or if u don't mind u to explain me how to do it?

About the alternative option it sounds good but i can't afford to get this programm as well.

The WebBuilder templates use an HTML document at runtime called a skeleton. This document contains a proprietary client side scripting language called TSSCRIPT. This along with a client side java applet and the clarion program you develop sends and receive data and screen updates to a client web browser via HTTP in the form of an HTML page.

The big thing to remember with this architecure is that all runtime dlls, exes, skeletons, and images like bmp,pcx's or icon must be avaialbe to the exe program.
