HTML Samples

[Pete Murray]

That's a neat little trick.  I wish I had thought of it.

Thanks

Pete,

Open the attached HTML document using any HTML editor.  
You will notice a group of &fp??? throughout the page.

As you review the attached processing table, you will
notice that the parsing routine looks for "&fp" on each
line of the HTML document to plug-in the field and/or
variable marked by these macros or filePro tags.

I chose to use "&fp" as a prefix simply because I did
not think it would ever be used in XML, DHTML nor HTML
on tags thus preventing potential conflicts.

Look at both documents.  If you still have questions,
call me at 305-594-0038 ext 7556 - I will walk you
through and help you understand.

Good luck!
