DataWindow plug-in

The DataWindow plug-in displays a PSR with its data and formatting as it was previewed and saved from the Report painter

Plug-in support required Version 5.5 Service Pack 2 and later versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer do not support Netscape plug-ins, therefore this plug-in cannot be used with these browsers.

The DataWindow Plug-in DLL, NPDWE105.DLL, is installed in your InfoMaker 10.5\Internet Tools\Plugins directory and, if you have Netscape installed, in the Web browser’s Plugins directory. If you cannot find the file, reinstall InfoMaker and select DataWindow Plug-in from the Internet Tools group in the custom install.

Include the PSR in a Web page

To include a PSR on a Web page, use the HTML EMBED element. Specify the name of the PSR and the height and width of the viewing window in pixels. A sample Embed element might look like this:

<EMBED src=AprilSales.psr WIDTH=370 HEIGHT=320>

Register the MIME type for the plug-in

Using the appropriate software for your Web server, register the MIME type for the DataWindow plug-in. For InfoMaker 10.5, the MIME type is:

application/datawindow105

The file extension associated with the MIME type is PSR. Your server documentation might use the term content type instead of MIME type.

Copy the PSR and HTML files to the server

You must copy the PSR and HTML files to appropriate directories on your server:

**Table 6-4: PSR and HTML file locations on server**
Files	Location	What you do
HTML page	The HTML documents directory or subdirectory	Copy the HTML page to the directory specified in any URLs that link to the page.
PSR file named in the SRC attribute of the Embed element	The HTML documents directory or some other directory as appropriate	Copy the PSR file to the directory you specified in the Embed element attribute.

The URLs you specify in your HTML page are logical paths as defined by the Web server. For example, the system path for your PSR might be:

C:\WEBSITE\HTDOCS\PB\DWB_ATT_CROSSOUT.PSR

If htdocs is defined as the server’s documents directory, the logical path for the URL would be relative to the documents directory:

pb/dwb_att_crossout.psr

Setting up users’ workstations

Each client workstation needs these components to view a Web page containing a DataWindow plug-in:

An Internet or intranet connection
A Web browser that supports Netscape plug-ins
A copy of the NPDWE105.DLL file
