Join Gini von Courter for an in-depth discussion in this video Checking a template for use in a browser, part of InfoPath 2010 Essential Training.
So I've developed this form and want to know whether or not it's a good…candidate for a web browser. Why in the world would I even wonder this?…Well, originally I was aiming this form at the InfoPath Form Filler, but I…liked what I just saw and think I might want to just make this a web browser form.…I know that I'm in the InfoPath Filler mode because I have lots of controls…down here under Containers that just aren't available for use on the web.…
So what I'm going to do first is I'm going to go to File > Save As, and I'm…going to save this as a web browser form template.…When I do that, I'm going to get lots of support.…First, the set of controls that's available to me just got shortened because I'm…not going to see a single control here that's not supported in a web browser.…Next, because I changed the type of client I'll be using with this form from…Form Filler to the web, the Design Checker automatically kicked in.…
Now if it hadn't, I would still kick it in manually.…I would go to File and choose Design Checker in order to see if there are things…
