4-4 FileMaker Pro Installation and New Features Guide
Custom Web Publishing
You can create a complete, custom, interactive Web solution using the
FileMaker Pro Web Companion and dynamic HTML files.
FileMaker Pro now can publish HTML documents containing GIF and
JPEG graphics, animated GIF files, QuickTime movies, and AIFF files.
In addition, FileMaker Pro 4.0 and 4.1 support any custom Java applets
designed by a developer using the FileMaker Pro Developer Edition.
For step-by-step instructions on Web publishing, refer to the
FileMaker Pro User’s Guide and the CDML Reference database in the
Web Tools folder.
Internet features
FileMaker Pro 4.0 and 4.1 support many new Internet features, including
the ability to host databases on the Web.
Note Some of these features require additional software. See
“Requirements for advanced features (Windows)” on page 1-5 for
Windows computers and “Requirements for advanced features
(Mac OS)” on page 1-6 for Mac OS computers.
GIF and JPEG support
FileMaker Pro supports GIF and JPEG graphic formats in layouts,
container fields, and published Web pages. When FileMaker Pro sends
an image to a Web browser, it can send either a GIF or JPEG image. If
one is not available, the stored graphic is converted on-the-fly to JPEG
for display, even if it is not stored in JPEG format in the database.
Export to an HTML table
You can now export all or part of your database formatted as an HTML
table.
Send Mail script step
With email client software, you can send email via the Internet or your
intranet directly from your FileMaker Pro database.
