2-2 FileMaker Pro Installation and New Features Guide
Custom Web Publishing
You can create a complete, custom, interactive Web solution using
FileMaker Pro 4.0 Web Companion and dynamic HTML files.
FileMaker Pro now can publish HTML documents containing GIF and
JPEG graphics, animated GIF files, QuickTime movies, AIFF files, or
Java applets.
For step-by-step instructions on Custom Web Publishing, see the CDML
Reference database in the Web Tools folder.
New Internet features
Note Some of these features require additional software. See
“Requirements for advanced features” on page 1-4.
GIF and JPEG support
FileMaker Pro 4.0 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.
URL support
When you Command-click a URL in a field, FileMaker Pro opens that
URL. If the address is for a Web page, FileMaker Pro opens your Web
browser software.
Open URL script step
You can write a script that opens a URL.
