data access page - a few simple questions (should be)

T

Tom Brophy

I have a few questions that should be pretty easy - I'm just new to access
and web development.

1. I am trying to uppercase some input fields. I set the property
'TextTransform' to 'uppercase' and it does show upper case when I type. The
problem is if I look at the 'value' of the field, it is still lowercase (the
way it was typed in). Should I use something else besides 'value' or is
there something else that I need to do.

2. I have an okay button that saves a record (javascript automatically
created when I went through the wizard when adding a button). I need it to
automatically execute a hyperlink click (as if the user clicks the
hyperlink). There is no actual 'onclick' even that I can see. I tried
hyperlinkname.click but figured because everything in the properties of the
hyperlink which is why this probably didn't work. Note: this hyperlink also
includes a 'serverfilter'.

3. In another page, I am using security to show/not show items. One of the
items I must not show in certain cases is a hyperlink. I disabled it but the
user can still click on the link (basically changed the color but nothing
else happened). I set the 'innertext' to "" which doesn't show the link but
if you hover over where it should be, you can still click the link. I do not
see a 'visible' property. Is there anything else that I can do?

4. I have a drop down box with items from a table. Right beside he drop
down box, I have a button to 'Add...' and new item. I do a modal popup
window, but then I need to refresh the drop down box so it has the latest
item that was added.

5. The popup window has a 'save' button which does save the record
correctly. But I need it to immediately close the window (i figured
window.close) but that didn't work.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me. Any code samples
would be great!

Tom
