FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 180
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, displays content in Find mode, or
automatically encodes a URL. You can set these options only when you add or change
a web viewer in Layout mode.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 8.5
Description
Click Specify to open the Set Web Viewer Options dialog box and specify the web viewer’s object
name and the action to be performed.
Notes
This script step works only for named web viewer objects.
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. For more information, see Adding a web viewer and Defining a
custom web address.
You can send html data to a web viewer by including the data in a URL, using the
following format:
data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data>
Where the following syntax applies:
dataurl = "data:" [ mediatype ] [ ";base64" ] "," data
mediatype = [ type "/" subtype ] *( ";" parameter )
