Home Page 3.0 Errata

•• aker. Home Page 3.0 Errata The FileMaker® Connection Assistant has difficulty processing upper ASCII characters in FileMaker Pro 4.0v 1 database, layout, and field names. Upper ASCII characters are those that include accented characters, ligatures or other non-standard Roman characters, for example, resume. Upper ASCII characters affect the FileMaker Connection Assistant in the following ways: • If the database name contains upper ASCII characters, the FileMaker Connection Assistant is unable to retrieve the layout or field names. • If the database name contains only lower ASCII characters and the layout name contains upper ASCII characters, the FileMaker Connection Assistant cannot display the field names on the specified layout. If the database and layout names contain only lower ASCII characters and the field name contains upper ASCII characters, the FileMaker Connection Assistant displays the field name properly, however the field is incorrectly encoded in HTML with Home Page 3.0 for Windows. Note HTML pages created in Home Page 3.0 (in the Edit HTML Source mode) or other HTML editing applications that contain upper ASCII database, layout, and field names are properly published by the FileMaker Pro Web Companion. Currently, the best workaround is to avoid using upper ASCII characters in databases that will be used with the FileMaker Connection Assistant and the FileMaker 4.0v I Web Companion. If you wish to use upper ASCII characters on your web site, you may: 1. Save a copy of your FileMaker Pro 4.0 database. 2. Change any layout and field names containing upper ASCII characters to lower ASCII. 3. Using the FileMaker Connection Assistant in Home Page 3.0, create a web site that interacts with the modified file (with no upper ASCII characters). 4. In the Edit HTML mode, manually search and replace any layout and field names containing lower ASCII characters to the upper ASCII characters. The resulting HTML with upper ASCII characters can be published by the FileMaker 4.0vl Web Companion and should display correctly in a web browser.
