JSON callback function in creator api
Hello, Does the Creator API support the JSON callback function? I came across Zoho Writer API and this feature is supported (see snippet below) but I wish this same functionality can be implemented for Creator API. JSONP (JSON Callback) Support By default, the JSON response cannot be used directly in client-side JavaScript, as XMLHttp does not support cross-domain requests due to security concerns. To get around this cross-domain problem, a simple trick called JSON callback(JSONP) can be used. On
APIKEY
Thank you for the new API with Zoho Creator. But please, let us know how to get the APIKEY. You put it as a parameter on the REST API to get some JSON data but, you provided no info how to get the APIKEY. Do we have to call?
Dropdown
I can't seem to find a way to alter the dropdown so that subsequent dropdown selections (or options) are limited by what's already been chosen in the previously selected dropdowns. For example, I want to compare A-B-C-E. Which one is the best? A (Options 1, 2, 3, 4) - if 2 is chosen then, B (Options 1,3,4) - if 3 is chosen then, C (Options 1, 4) - if 1 is chosen then, D (Option 4) - thecarriers
How to create a rule/if pick= then show?

On the record creation form, I only see an submit or update button, which both close the form. Could you add a Save button so that the user is not closed out of the form? Thanks, Roy Bowery rbowery
serious e-mail problems
I have several sendmail actions set up in my form scripts. Everything was working fine as of yesterday. Now, Half the time the mail does not appear in my mailbox.

IE7 asks to "Set Proper Height & width"
I have embedded a ZC view in my webpage and it works fine through Firefox. With IE7 as the page loads I get the words "To measure the cell height" appear where I expec tthe top left of the view to appear. It then goes and IE7 displays an error "Set Proper Height & width". I have done nothing different to other views that work fine with IE7. The only difference is the view spreadsheet it fairly wide. Any ideas how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Seeking further help (very gratefully!)
Hi again, I tried to reply to your reply to my last post but it didn't seem to show up on the post so I am posting it again here. Sorry if you end up with more than one copy of this. Thanks for your reply and help with scripting. I have tried out the script you suggested but I think I may be missing a step that will help it to count the number of times each choice in the drop down menu is selected. Here is a link to the form that I am trying to script: http://creator.zoho.com/suziea/registrations/form/4/

Buttons?
Is there a straightforward way to add buttons to Creator? I want to offer a menu of choices - 'add a record'; 'view a list' and so on - and I'd like to do that with some big, clear buttons, which have scripts linked to them Linked to that - can I go to a certain form/view when a button is clicked?

Calendar view no longer working
I have a view set up to default to a calendar view. When I initially go to it, all of the data is there. However, if I switch months, the calendar goes blank, and when I go back to the month I just viewed, the data is now gone out of that one. Switching to any other month still shows nothing. If I set a filter though, the data shows. This problem just started occuring. Any thoughts/suggestions? brenthilg

Keep the database on another server
Hello everybody, I am testing Zoho creator for a few time and so far I am very impressed. Comparing to MS Access is much much more easier and effective. I only have one question. Is there any way to keep the database on my web server or any other web server I choose? I am sure that the database is already secured in your servers but I would just like to know if I have this option. Thank you in advance Panos

decision check help
hi, I've worked out my other issues thanks to your help. I have one more cosmetic minor issue. I have the form set up so a "decision check" box will perform a sendmail action when updated. The way this works practically is when a user updates the database in the view by checking the box, an e-mail is sent out. However, the check box will remain checked (state = true) after this is done, obviously. But, I would like it to always be initially unchecked (even after an update). I am using this feature
zoho.currentdate updates on edit, how can I stop this?
Hi, I have zoho.currentdate set to work only "on add", but it is also updating with the current date when I edit an existing record. I don't want it to do this, because then I lose my record of the original date. I want the original "current date" to stay the same even when I edit the record. Is there any way to fix this?

Brlliant App
This is a fantastic idea for an application. I'm looking forward to trying out the scripting side some time soon. Is it possible to create a form without the link to Zoho? I understand the benefits for zoho, however is there a subscriber version that won't have it? It look unprofessional when used on a website. daniel.duckworth
howto in formula field
I would like to have a formula field return (A + ", " + B). But if B is empty, only return (A). So in other words, have some kind of if/else in there. Is this possible? Example: A = "This" B = "That" return: "This, That" A = "This" B = "" return: "This" I would like this to be dynamic - so using a formula. And not a field that gets filled through a script in the OnSucces of the form.

Creation of a databased web form
Hello, I am not a programmer. I only know VB6. I found your system very useful. But in spite of my hard work I could not create a simple application: when user enters a user Id and a password, the program checks whether the user has access rights and if so opens a web page to view a flash presentation. Thats all. I also need to be able to have means to enter the UserId and Passwords of the clients to a database. If the USerID and password has a specific combination, then two new fields become visible
