I'm using the EO.Web Grid to collect data from users. We have multiple EO.Web Grids on a page and each grid has 2-5 columns with upwards of 10 rows. When the user is done entering the data, we save the page as an HTML file. When I open the HTML file the grid is blank. The page source shows that the grid still contains the data, but I don't think a script or something is working correctly to display it in the grid view. How do we get the grid to show the data when it's an HTML page. Other grids we have used are able to show the data, but they are not as user friendly as the EO.Web Grid.

Hi,

This is very normal. Most of the time you can not save a web page just as HTML and expect it to work. When you save a page as HTML, a lot of factor changes. For example, if the page uses JavaScript (as our Grid does) and you don't save the JavaScript file, then the browser won't find the corresponding JavaScript files and the page won't function correctly. Even if you save all the JavaScript files correctly, the change of the file "origin" might still cause problem. For example, if the JavaScript code use AJAX to dynamically load data from the server, then that part will stop working once you save it to a local file since the web server that the JavaScript code talks to no longer exists in a file only scenario. As such you should devise other schemes to save your data.

Thanks!
