Hello,

according to the WAA docs, this is what :header() does:

> This marks the begin of information sent to the Web browser. If the

Because I completely replaced the header method in my own derived html3
class, it was not possible to call original one, so I was looking for an
alternative way of getting rid of all previous HTML output...

By taking a closer look at waa1user.dll with a hex editor, I found a
undocumented method :resetchache(), which seems to do exactly what I need.

I thought this might be quite useful for others here as well.

regards
Thomas

Thank you, yes that's the one you need.  In fact, this function should be
documented, otherwise it is impossible for overloaded html3 classes to
emulate present behaviour (except by using undocumented functions).

Boy, that's bad!!

Thomas,
how do put all the values from the oHTML3-object to yout one derived class? 
And where is the sence of this solution. In all cases it is "extrawork" for 
the server.

I have created my own HTML3 class because I wanted to use the same methods,
but needed different functionality (for example, to get rid of the
graphical "Alaska-Footer"...) - plus I added a lot of new methods like
:DateSLE(), which creates a date entry field with a jscript calendar
attached to it.

To use the derived class, just add the WAA_HTML3CLASS variable to the
request string, telling the server to use the derived class instead:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/waa1gate.exe?WAA_PACKAGE=test&WAA_FORM=form1&WAA_HTML3CLASS=ShopHtml&...additional
variables.

Thomas,

it seems, that my documetation of waa is not complete. I did not knew about 
the option to change the class.
Thanks.

Well, it is documented (WAA Reference -> User-defined HTML3 classes), but
it is not very obvious what can be done with this as there is no
sample...
