To see what the DataWindow will look like in an HTML Web DataWindow application, you can use HTML Preview.
To get an HTML preview of a Web DataWindow:
On the General property page of the DataWindow property sheet, check Web DataWindow.
If you do not check Web DataWindow, the preview displays the data as an HTML table without buttons, validation rules, or other scripts. At runtime, this property is always true.
On the Web Generation page, select HTML/XHTML from the Format to Configure list and specify a value for Rows per Page.
This sets the PageSize property for the DataWindow object. To display only one row of data, specify 1.
Select HTML from the Format to Configure list and specify a value for Browser and one for Version if you want to preview the DataWindow for a specific client configuration.
Typically you will want to set the Browser property to the value that is compatible with the latest version of Internet Explorer.
Select Design>HTML Preview from the menu bar.
If the menu item is disabled, open the Preview view to enable it.
Enter data and see whether validation rules behave as expected.
Use your buttons to navigate to other pages.
