SET HTML ROOT

version 6.5 (Modified)

SET HTML ROOT (pathnameHTML)

The SET HTML ROOT command is used to modify the default directory or folder where 4D looks for the HTML file you pass as a parameter to the command SEND HTML FILE.

Warning: The SET HTML ROOT command works in contextual mode only. To set a default HTML root folder in non-contextual mode, use the Default HTML Root area in the Preferences dialog box. For performance reasons, it is usually more judicious to set the default HTML root folder in the Preferences, whatever the execution mode of the Web server.

The pathname you specify must be an HTML pathname, where the directory or folder names are separated by a slash ("/") character, no matter what the platform. For more information about HTML pathnames, please refer to the Language Reference part of any HTML manual you can find in bookstores.

If you specify an invalid pathname, an OS File manager error is generated. You can intercept the error with an ON ERR CALL method. If you display an alert or a message from within the error method, it will appear on the browser side.

Note: The SET HTML ROOT command takes into account the default HTML root folder defined in the Preferences of the database. For more information on this folder, please refer to section Connection Security.

ON ERR CALL.
