hey mighty scripter Gals/Guys.
in this pizza hut call center app I'm working on now, I desire to maybe be able
to reformat some horridly difficult to access onscreen tables appearing in this
terminal emulation pcsws 5250 environment,
such that they become far more speed efficient to navigate than they currently
are.
I thought I might try doing this in the virtual viewer, as indeed I'm
reformatting a few screens in there upon key request to make user navigation
more quick and eficient, but I just have no idea how to do an html table in
Script land?
Thanks infinitely to Paul Magill,
I do already know about:
UserBufferDeactivate ()
UserBufferClear ()
UserBufferAddText (Strings to add)
UserBufferAddText (Next String to add)
; when complete,
UserBufferActivate ()
And, although I know the absolute rudimentaries of creating an html table in
notepad, i.e.
<table>
<tr>
<td><b>FirstColumnHeader</b></td>
<td><b>SecondColumnHeader</b></td>
<td><b>ThirdColumnHeader</b></td></tr>
<tr>
<td>FirstColumnData</td>
<td>SecondColumnData</td>
<td>ThirdColumnData</td></tr>
etc
</table>
I've got absolutely no clue what the syntax is in ScriptLand, to be able to
make all this work inside a jawsFunction, such that I can doublePress my
hotkey, and have this whole screen just appear in a normatively navigable html
table like one might normally do on the web?
Can anyone assist me at all with maybe some code examples for how I might do
this?
I haven't really thought yet either, exactly how I'll grab the OnScreen Data
for pumping them into the data cells, but I presume I'll just use GetTextInRect
string type function to do that, though if some kind soul might demonstrate for
me how exactly this might be coded, It'd be a huuuge help for me?
thanks heaps if anyone can help.
