Previewing the DataWindow

To see what the DataWindow will look like in a Web DataWindow application, you can use HTML Preview.

1. 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.

2. On the Web Generation page, 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.

3. Specify a value for Browser and one for Version if you want to preview the DataWindow for a specific client configuration.

4. Select Design>HTML Preview from the menu bar.

   If the menu item is disabled, open the Preview view to enable it.

5. Enter data and see whether validation rules behave as expected.

6. Use your buttons to navigate to other pages.
