11-2 FileMaker Pro User’s Guide
Custom Web Publishing allows you to customize the appearance of your
FileMaker Pro data on the Web. You need to create format files, which
are Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages that contain Claris
Dynamic Markup Language (CDML) tags, or commands. The CDML
tags enable HTML pages to interact with FileMaker Pro. For an
overview, see “Custom Web Publishing” on page 11-24. For
step-by-step instructions on Custom Web Publishing, see the CDML
Reference database inside the Web Tools folder.
Important Regardless of the publishing method you choose, you should
publish your database by running it on a computer with a full-time
Internet connection.
What the Web Companion does
FileMaker Pro Web Companion functions as a Web server by
communicating with Web browsers that request data from, or submit data
to, a FileMaker Pro database. Similar to other Web server applications, the
Web Companion delivers HTML Web pages and image files to the Web
browser. The Web Companion supports the HTTP-Put and HTTP-Get
commands. For more information about these HTTP commands, refer to
an HTTP reference.
