FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 151
Options
Click Specify to display the Set Web Viewer Options dialog box, where you can set the following
options:
Object Name is the name of the web viewer to act upon. To assign an object name, select
the web viewer, choose View menu > Inspector in Layout mode. Click Position, then enter
a name for the object.
For Action, choose one of the following:
Reset resets the named web viewer to its originally specified web address. This action
also clears this web viewer’s Back and Forward history.
Reload reloads the web page that the web viewer is displaying.
Go Forward goes forward one page, the same way a web browser does.
Go Back goes back one page, the same way a web browser does.
Go to URL lets you specify a new web address to load in the web viewer. The new web
address is a calculation that you specify in the Set Web Viewer - Go to URL Options
dialog box. In this script step, you cannot change whether the web viewer allows
interaction, shows a progress bar or status messages, or displays content in Find mode.
You can set these options only when you add or change a web viewer in Layout mode.
Compatibility
This script step is supported in web publishing but not in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier

To specify the object name, either type the name in the Object Name box or click Specify and
create a calculation.
If you choose the action Go to URL:
You specify a web address in much the same way you do when you create a web
viewer on a layout.
