Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    What is Google seeing ?

    I have a UX with just 1 static text control displaying the word "Abracadabra" saved to a page called index.a5w

    This is the contents when I open that a5w page in the AA html editor:

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    
    <!-- must use in order to make XP Themes render -->
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="MSThemeCompatible" content="Yes" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> 
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
    <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
    
    <head>
    
    
    <%a5
    Delete tmpl_testux
    DIM tmpl_testux as P
    tmpl_testux = a5w_load_component("testux") ''SYSTEM GENERATED COMMENT - PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE (LOAD:testux)
    
    'Override settings start -----------------------------------------
    with tmpl_testux
    .alias = "testux"
    _dialogFilename = "testux"
    end with 
    'Override settings end -----------------------------------------
    
    delete x_testux
    dim x_testux as p
    x_testux = a5w_run_Component(tmpl_testux) 'SYSTEM GENERATED COMMENT - PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE (RUN:tmpl) (EDIT:testux)
    
    ?x_testux.Output.Head.JavaScript
    ?x_testux.Output.Head.CSS_Link
    
    ?x_testux.Output.Head.Title 
    %>
    
    
    <!--Alpha Five Temporary Code Start - Will be automatically removed when page is published -->
    <!--CSS for tmpl -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/a5V12/css/GrGray/style.css">
    <!--Alpha Five Temporary Code End -->
    
    </head>
    
    
    <%a5 ?x_testux.Output.Body.Body_tag %>
    <!--Alpha Five Temporary Code Start - Will be automatically removed when page is published -->
    <!--Body Tag for tmpl -->
    <body class="GrGrayPage">
    <!--Alpha Five Temporary Code End -->	
    
    
    
    
    
    <%a5 ?x_testux.Output.Body.Dialog2_HTML %>
    
    </body>
    
    </html>
    This is the code I get to see (source code view in browser) when I publish the page & browse to it:

    Now my question is: what does Google (or any other search engine) actually see ?

    In other words does a page execute when a search bot visits it or does a search bot only see the content of the A5W file as I see it in the AA html editor (the first code) or the generated html (the second code)
    Frank

    Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand

    #2
    Re: What is Google seeing ?

    Bots execute the page, so they see what is in the second clip.

    Bots cannot get past security so any page that requires login is invisible to SEO. All of the text on anything other than page 1 of grid is invisible because the bot is not going to click the Next button, etc.
