Have set up a EA9 screen and a click to gather production data and then display to a HDMI TV. I was starting to look at trying to set up a web page to do some other remote display for the front office. Could some one recomend any reading material an doing this with the C-more? Have not found much in the online manuals. Completely new to this one. Thanks

This may help some. Help File Topic: "Touch Panel Network: Web Server Setup ". Search for CM455.
If you have not looked at the HTML files in the panel, you should do so for an example. The above help file tells you how to access these at the bottom of the topic.

Played with it some and see how the web server seems to be set up.
just testing making some changes to the table, change link to page as a example, changes ok on the screen.
But how do i save it to the C_More. if i back out and go back in it is back to link?
Thanks for the help.

Use FTP to copy the HTML files from the C-more. Modify them and then copy them back to the same folder in the C-more Panel via FTP.

Have had little time to play with this.
thanks for the help so far.
Down loaded Filezilla and was able to up load the pages. Pretty simple.
if i load a page, example screen index and use the inspect element in chrome i can see the different elements and change the title from link to page it will change ok. Do a save as and save it to the same dir and file name when i reopen it is back to the original, or it has added another table under it?
Delete the table below, save and reopen and it is the same file as before i made the changes?
Is there a better editor tool?
Thanks

If you are only looking at doing one little project then I would recommend just using a free online editor like:
http://htmledit.squarefree.com/
or:
http://htmlsandbox.com/
If you do a bit more work, or want to expand your horizons, then just download Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015.
It is now a free license, and has a split window html editor.
