Hi Jon,
When debugging a Webster issue the first step is to hover over the red highlighted section on the page. The tool tip will give you error information which will help you figure out your issue.
I believe your issue is that your page does not have a [form] and the grid needs to be in a [form].
You also need to add
ENTER MYGRID
right under the MAKEGRID: line
This is how the grid program can pass back the handle to the grid memory file.
So try this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
[ttl]Grid[/ttl]<br>
[form][grid MyGrid program="myprog.pxp;makegrid" size=auto/20 ]
[col Source=ItemCode$ ttl="ItemCode" width=30 ]
[col Source=ItemName$ ttl="Name" width=50]
[col Source=ItemType$ ttl="Type" width=2]
[/grid]
[/form]</body>
</html>
! myprog.pxp
MAKEGRID:
ENTER MYGRID OPEN (HFN,IOL=GRIDIOL)"*memory*"
LET MYGRID=LFO
SELECT * FROM INTERNETITEM
WRITE (MYGRID)
NEXT RECORD
EXIT
GRIDIOL:IOLIST ITEMCODE$,ITEMNAME$,ITEMTYPE$
Normally you would have a program= in the [form] to specify the program to run when form is submitted and that would handle any events on the page.
For information on the use of the form see here:
https://manual.pvxplus.com?Webster/Webster%20Application%20Design.htm
For the need for the ENTER you can see the program= short code documentation here:
https://manual.pvxplus.com?Webster/Short%20Code%20Options.htm
It looks like we need to update the example on the Using Grids in Webster+ documentation page to include the ENTER statement as that is missing.
