Hi, for some time now my previous webviewer showing lat- lon coordinates is showing an overlay stating this website cannot be loaded correctly. I checked my api key if its working, if my google account has billing enabled and if the java is enabled. However, still the overlay persists. This is my code in the webviewer. Would anyone know what is wrong? I spent 4 hours looking but unfortunately I am not finding an answer. Thank you. SetzeVar ( [ lat = Readasurlencoded ( lat ); lng = Readasurlencoded ( lon )) ]; "<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Simple Map</title> <meta name=\"viewport\" co…

Visualizzo molte tabelle con il visualizzatore web. Il sistema funziona bene da un punto di vista pratico, ma il database è diventato molto lento. Ho una tabella principale da cui genero record attraverso un portale correlato per generare una tabella pivot. Questa tabella pivot tramite calcoli genera il file html che sto visualizzando. Tuttavia, se il database rallenta, diventa difficile modificare i valori perché la lentezza diventa un ostacolo.

I don't know enough about web development to identify what type of form submission Discord is using. Can someone that is knowledgeable in this area please take a look at Discord and tell me if I can use FileMaker natively (or with a plugin) to use a FileMaker script to submit text chats? https://discord.com/channels/@me

I have a database of audio tracks. The audio files themselves are stored on AWS S3 using cloudfront. The database is a list view, with a popover button on each row. When the popover button is clicked, it shows some additional info and options, and plays it in a little webviewer, which references a cloudfront URL. I have found this to be faster than downloading the file into a container and then playing it with FM's built-in audio controls. And also I prefer the way the controls are shown in the web viewer - I get duration, forward and back, and a slider, for "free". The web viewer references the cloudfront URL, which is set with an "on object enter" trigger, and set to nu…

I rewatched Productive Computing's vid on YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w02FJzbCaTg&t=803s ), but I'm having a very difficult time following it since some of the layouts/tables in the vid don't match up with what's on my screen. What I want to do is tie the gallery to a related FMP file (on our FMP server) so when I choose a department name from a value list, its (related) members' photos will appear in the gallery. I scoured the Web looking for a "FileMaker Pro Add-Ons for Dummies" tutorial that explains them in mentally-dense-developer detail, but no luck so far. If y'all can point me to such tutorials, or can explain how I can accomplish what I'm t…

Hello, I am trying to open a local video in Web Viewer to play and loop it for an advertising kiosk without internet. Unfortunately I can't find a way using native filemaker (without plugins) to open a local file, in my current FM version (19.3). Microsoft Edge open the local file as: file:///C:/video.mp4, doesn't matter if is root or temporary folder (already tried all, and doesn't work). But source src=file:///C:/video.mp4 is working, but if i use a URL work fine. Thanks for your replies and support.

Hello all The ctrl key does not appear to work within the web viewer in FM pro on windows. This would be useful for text selection e.g. select all. I've implemented a restricted menu set in the hope that keyboard shortcuts would not activate anything outside the web viewer but this has made no difference. Does anyone know a workaround for this? Thanks!

Hi I am trying to create functionality in my FileMaker 19 solution to connect to Dropbox using oAuth2 using the Webviewer. However when I use the URL 'www.dropbox.com' for Dropbox with or without the necessary URL parameters all I get is a page saying 'Upgrade your browser to use Dropbox' with error code 409! My machine is Windows 10 with the latest version of Internet Explorer (20H2), I also have the latest versions of Firefox, Edge and Chrome and have installed the latest FileMaker V19 update as well. Also I have checked my machine for any outstanding updates and there are none. Even my previous functionality for Xero and Quickbookswhich I succe…

I have a simple web viewer in one of my solutions, which is an address book for customers, to display a google map of their location. Using the following: "http://local.google.com/maps?" & "q=" & /*Address=*/ CUSTOMER::AddressLine1_m & ¶ & CUSTOMER::AddressLine2_m & "," & /*City=*/ CUSTOMER::city_m & "," & /*State=*/ CUSTOMER::state_m & "," & /*Zip Code=*/ CUSTOMER::zipcode_m & "," & /*Country=*/ CUSTOMER::country_m The problem is that there is a "detail" tab that displays by default, which blocks the map view and requires user interaction every time the record loads. Is there a way to default to this tab hid…

I am working on a very simple QR code in a web viewer using qrcode.js. The resulting Qr code can be dragged and dropped into a container field or I can right click on the web viewer and select "Save Picture as" and save it to my desktop. I would like to be able to automate this so that it automatically saves the resulting qr code to a container field. Interesting note, when i drag and drop into a container it results in a file called untitled.bmp, but when I right click on the web view and "Save Picture as" it saves as untitled.png. Not sure if that matters but I found it interesting. I have been researching and have seen mentions of using FMP Url to get…

I have a database with 3 tables (to simplify): keywords (keyword_text and keyword_ID), files (filename text and file_ID) and a join table (keyword_ID, file_ID). Suppose I want to have a list view that shows all filenames with their associated count of keywords attached to each file, and conversely another list view with all keywords and their associated count of files attached to each keyword. How would I go about doing that?

I have a solution that is a catalogue of audio files. The actual audio files exist on a web server, and I play them in a web viewer. However the user can alternatively play them from a local folder if he has a copy of that, and that is done by copying a reference to that local file into an interactive container field. This works fine, however the web viewer player looks better - it has fast forward by 30 seconds and back by 15 seconds buttons, and a time display on the progress bar, while the interactive container does not. I read somewhere that I should be able to play the local file in a web viewer by first referencing it in the container, then getting it's URL by …

So... after a lot of trial and error, I finally have something working in the Web Viewer. The task I'm doing requires me to go to multiple web pages, tab through some fields, enter data in a field, and then press a button. Some other things happen, but that is the gist of it. I have to tab 29 times to get to the correct field, and then I have to enter a 4 digit number (or something similar). Each of the tabs and each of the digits seems to take a bit more than a second to happen, which is agonizingly slow. I'm wondering if there is any known way to speed it up. Here is the AppleScript that I've put into the Perform AppleScript command: "--this script assumes…

Hello, I have created a report in Filemaker 17 that pulls data into it from other relational (fmp) databases. My issue is that I want my managers to be able to review their particular reports via teams. I am currently uploading a new PDF every day but I'd like it to be "live" and for their access to be limited to just selecting their button which is scripted to bring up their report. I am no expert in any type of integration, I am fairly comfortable with Filemaker, I have been using it since version 3, but not utilizing it outside of itself.

I use jQuery and the jQueryUI slider widget to display a slider in FileMaker Pro (v17-17-18-19). Works fine but I also need to have it work on FileMaker Go, so I tried my luck on jQuery Mobile 1.4.5. The slider is working nicely on FileMaker Pro, but on FmGo 17, 18 or 19 it doesn't load, keeps displaying a spinning logo. When I publish the HTML page on a website and open it in Safari Mobile it works fine. Any help appreciated! See the example file: just downlaod it and open it on FMGo. The Webviewer and the HTML are displayed side by side. sliderExample.fmp12

Claris have released a new Rich Text Editor Add-on with the latest FileMaker Pro update. I've had a look at it and it looks good, and works in FileMaker and WebDirect. The only issue I've had is that the toolbar sometimes disappears for seemingly no reason in FileMaker Pro (seems more stable in WebDirect). Also it's based on quite an old version of Quill, and although I'm not so familiar with the new add-ons there seems to be a fair bit of dev stuff in there. What's the AddonSampleData table used for? Has anyone else tried it?

Good morning, I have written a(/n? lol) FM solution for a client where I need to display a dashboard - a regularly updated screen of the status of all things within. I am looking to find a good solution on the best way to display this file on a large television. I know that I could setup a dedicated PC (NUC, laptop, or otherwise) connect to the television via HDMI and have FMP autologin so that when the computer is powered up it goes straight to the dashboard, but thought there may be a smarter (cheaper and smaller) way to achieve the same thing. Now I have done extensive work with using Raspberry Pis as digital signage devices and have written a specific platf…

Hi all I'm trying to integrate draw.io in to my solution via the web viewer. I have much to learn as I have new to javascript. I have managed to get it to execute a filemaker script though. My first real issue is that it does not seem to work fully in the webviewer. I've downloaded these files https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-integration I can open localfile.html in my usual browser and it works fine. However within FileMaker's web viewer it does open (the url is "data:text/html," & [global field containing source code of localfile.html]), but functionality is limited. I can't add any shapes to the canvas for example. Any help appreciated. …

Dear FMForums folk, I'm a long-time personal user, building and working out of my own solutions. (I used to post here often, but for years now have been happily using rather than designing...) One of my databases uses FM web viewers as a front-end for my university's moodle (cms platform), tunneling in based on various URLs for students, assignments, etc. In the past, a cms like moodle (and before it we had BlackBoard) would need me to authenticate once, and then all subsequent url queries within a session were served up properly, just as if I were using an ordinary browser. With more recent versions of moodle, suddenly authentication fails to survive…

Hi, I'm integrating full calendar into a solution and I'm using what Matt did with the fullcalendar.io ( ISO Magazine ) in FileMaker's web viewer. I've attached the entire HTML and a section of the HTML where I am trying to dynamically set the calendar in "Week" and in "Day" view to scroll the calendar to the current hour. Currently I've hard code into the html '07:00:00' which is ok, but would be great if I could dynamically set to current hour when the user clicking into "Week" or "Day". Any way I've search through the fullcalendar.io documentation and I am able to figure out just about most of what I need to do, but not everything. Is there anybod…

Hello, I have a simple leaflet.js map which is working completely offline. All the references in the HTML5 code are absolute and refer to local files.(javascript, css, tiles). I noticed - and was really surprised - that I was able to copy the HTML5 code into a global field and run it a web viewer (FM 18, Windows 10, Chrome browser). (Up to now, I thought that all external references should be included in an HTML calculation.) When I tested the same file on my Mac (and changed of course all the paths to the new paths on the mac) I couldn't get it to work. It seems that MacOS isn't able to do so. (Mac OS 10.14 Mojave, Safari). Is this true? …

Hi all My webviewer displays a list of messages from a related table. The structure is basically as follows: Webviewer source: "<html><body>" & list (messages::html_web) "</body></html>" html_web field [stored calculation]: From & " sent message at " & Creation_Timestamp & ":<br>" & Body Is there a simpler way of doing this? It seems to be it would be better to have the webviewer do all the calculations, and get rid of the html_web field. This would speed up any development changes and free up some space. Would JSON be the way to go? Thanks!

Hi folks, I'm playing with an idea to create a global navigation popover button, that uses the Web Viewer to point at our WebDirect homepage. I've got this much working, however when I click the tiles, I want it to spawn a new database/browser window. Unfortunately it just opens the other database within this tiny Web Viewer I want to do this for navigation consistency, aligning with other (less malleable) web products within our intranet. Can anyone help unstick me, or offer tips on how I could achieve my goal? Cheers!

I'm initializing a Web Viewer with a data URL, to display a Summernote text editor. This is working perfectly on my local FileMaker 17.0.7.700, running on macOS Mojave 10.14.6. When I try the same on a remote machine running FileMaker 17.0.7.700, and macOS Sierra 10.12.6, Summernote fails to initialize.

You'll notice it doesn't display anything. Remove the bgcolor and it works as expected. It also works in FileMaker. There are numerous workarounds but I can't find out how to fix it. Anyone else experienced this?

Hi all, Really hoping someone can help me with this database. It is being used to collect marine mammal data from aerial surveys. Each survey has many environmental records and each environmental record can have many sightings. Because the iPad GPS is not very reliable for elevation, I import a separate table of GPS waypoints from an external GPS and use Lookup to pull Latitude and Longitude and Altitude information based on matching or near matching timestamps. Some formulas use the GPS information (i.e. plane position) and an angle to the sightings to create a position for the sighting. I would love to map the GPS positions and the sighting positions in a WebViewer…

Note that the website loads with adequate speed when called in Microsoft's Edge browser directly on Windows 10. It's only within FileMaker where a (very long) delay happens. Load times macOS browser: 2sec macOS Web Viewer: 2sec Windows 10 browser (Edge): 4sec Windows 10 Web Viewer: ca.20sec Any explanations for this behaviour? Anything we can do about this?

This is a bit of a bizarre one which ate 90 minutes of my morning - so I thought I'd share it in case anyone else encounters it. One of our FileMaker use cases has an embedded web viewer displaying a Google Sheet (it's a runtime Kiosk app but the same issue applies to FMPro). This worked well and the users could update the spreadsheet (a rota). However this morning I noticed a strange bluey/grey overlay (see attachment). After quite a bit of digging it seems Adobe Flash is still installed in IE 11 and this was causing some form of issue. I disabled Flash in Group Policy (gpedit.msc) and the problem went away. There are other ways of disabling it whic…

Hi there My database downloads a map (Google Map API), based on coordinates within the database records. I have the same field on another Layout (intended for printing) which is (currently) downloading the same map, every time. Unfortunately, it won't print. I'm guessing because the database itself is so large -around 1000 records- that it's trying to download the maps for every record prior to printing, locking the whole system up. So my query: as the coordinate data related to each record is quite static, is it at all possible to simply download the map Once, store it and reuse the stored map in another layout? Also, is there a way to have FMP or the Google AP…

A year ago, I used the Web Viewer to create what I affectionately refer to as a Facebook stalking page, so we can better recognize people who have attended our conference. ("Was that the tall dude or the guy with the beard? Oh yeah...that guy.") This worked great...until it didn't. We studied the URL created when we search for people, we turned it into a formula within the Web Viewer, and it worked great. Until it didn't. Now we just get error messages about FB not being able to display the page. We also created a similar page for LinkedIn, and that worked great...until it insisted that we were not logged in to LinkedIn, even though we were. I would li…

Hi everyone, A while ago I have developed a FileMaker solution that is currently running on FileMaker server Version 14. I have 40 clients connecting to the server. Every client is either version 14 for 15 a FileMaker Pro. The solution includes a calendar which is displayed on the web viewer. The calendar pulls real-time data from the FileMaker server and displays it as a web page inside webviewer. The calendar uses PHP and CSS to generate the view. Every client that has updated to Mac OS hi Sierra he's having issues with the web viewer. Sometimes the content loads immediately, but sometimes it takes a second reload in order to see…

Hello, everyone. I have a question. I have web viewer object named "web". If I start a script running, Every 5 seconds, it fetches the string from the HTML that is shown in the web viewer, and keeps creating new records. Just like this GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "web" ; "content" ) Then the target value always get refreshed every 5 seconds. javascript is just like this function updateLastvalue(new_last_value){ var current_last_value = $('.last-value').text(); var fixed_last_value = Number(new_last_value).toFixed(8); $('.last-value').text(fixed_last_value); // update do…

I have several reports that use Google Charts displayed through a web viewer to display a "'gas gauge" type of chart. This is a very popular style for our dashboard reports to the point where it is a requirement. I originally started using them in FileMaker 14 and they worked great. When FileMaker 15 came out they wouldn't work at first but then did after an update to the code. I'm now testing Filemaker 16 and they're back to not working properly. They do display on the screen just fine but if you try to print preview, print, or Send to PDF they do not show. Does anybody have experience with this or know if a setting changed in FMPA 16 that could be ca…

Hi, I have a database with +1000 records, each with a long list of long/lat coordinates that need to be reversed to lat/long. The amount of decimal numbers is not fixed, yet every longitude value starts with an opening bracket "[" and is separated from the Lat value by a comma ",". Each coordinate ends with a closing bracket "]," and a carriage return. I guess if it were just one coordinate I could do it with left, middle and right. Hope someone can ease me towards a solution. Best, Daniel

Hello, I am running FM12 Advanced (Windows), and I have a small issue regarding geocoding with Google Maps (simple marker). My FM-database contenins many different location records, and a fuction to call the layout with the Web-viewer and geocode/mark the location on Google Maps. The problem is that although there are coordinates (Lat / Lgn), GoogleMaps does not display the map when the coordinates (Lat / Lgn) are crossed somewhere over sea area, for example, the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean sea, and so forth. The problem is best illustrated on the attached demo DB (DEMO_LocalitiesGoogleMap.fmp12) which contains three locality records: 1) United Kingdom, Londo…

FM14, Mac Sierra, Google Chrome. I have set up a script to scrape the title from the page showing in the Web Viewer. This was working fine. Now I get nothing. One problem I solved. There was a message showing at the bottom of the web page referring to blocking third party cookies. I went into settings and allowed these. Still nothing. I was using the FM16 Trial which ran out so I reverted to FM14 Advanced. I think this may be the problem because, when running file from Soliant which demonstrates interaction with Web Viewer, each time I run script it opens FM16 telling me the licence has run out. In the Finder I changed the default opener for FM files to Fil…

Hi folks, I have a problem calling an FM Script from a webviewer under WebDirect. When the script is called, it attempts to open FileMaker Pro locally rather than handle it in the web browser. The server is a clean install Win 2016 Std (w/GUI) + FMS 16.0.1, nothing else, fmurlscript is enabled for all privilege sets. I've set a demo database here: http://testing.learninglogic.co.uk/fmi/webd/test I guess I'm being dumb but just can't see what I'm doing wrong? Any help greatly appreciated!

Hello. I'm using a web viewer to control and stream mp3s from our server. This works great on my Apple laptop - the mp3 loads along with a player and I can listen to and control playback. It also works fine on one of two Apple desktop machines. But on one Apple desktop machine the file downloads to the desktop instead of loading in the web viewer. I've checked my browsers, both my default browser (Chrome) and the standard web browser (Safari), and the URLs play in the browser in both cases. Neither one downloads the track. Is there a way to control this behavior within FM so that the mp3 plays within the web viewer and doesn't download? Note: The URL for the mp3s are…

I am using a Web Viewer Control to embed Google Docs content on Windows. Unfortunately Google is reporting that my web browser is out of date and not supported. Tested on FileMaker Pro Advanced 15.0.3.305. This is a bug in FileMaker. Here's why: The FileMaker Web Viewer uses Internet Explorer on Windows. The version is controlled by the FEATURE_BEHAVIORS and FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION keys, which can either be in the HKCU or HKLM in the registry. I am assuming an HKCU value overrides HKLM ones. On previous verisions (at least FileMaker 11) a registry key could be created in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FE…

Two new and identical computers. Purchased and configured at the same time. Windows 7 installed on both. Filemaker 11 installed on both. IE Explorer installed on both. Mozilla Firefox installed on both. The Web Viewer works for Google Maps on one computer but not the other. The failed Web Viewer provides the following error message: "You seem to be using an unsupported Browser". I've checked "compatibility view" and tried different configurations including disabled and enabled w/wo google.com. Always restarting both IE Explorer and FMP 11 after a change is made.

Windows 10 FM Pro11 Advanced We use a webviewer window to access a folder on a local hard drive containing images. The webviewer defaults to the detailed list view. Most of the times it would be more advantageous to view the large thumbnails. In the past we were able to right click in the window and select the best view from the options windows offered. I do not remember when it stopped working, but now when I right click into the webviewer window, I get the error message "Encountered an improper argument". I have to click OK about 10-20 times before the message goes away. Is there a fix for that, or a work-around or is there a way to change the default view? …

I am trying to remove the vertical scroll bar from a Web Viewer. I am aware that unchecking 'Allow interaction with web viewer content' will allow this, but I require that on. I've added this to the webviewer <body style = 'border: 0 ; margin: 0'>, which makes it look better, but I can't find the info to remove the vertical scroll. I tried overflow: hidden, but that seems to only work if the content is larger than the web viewer window.

One of the sites that my database uses has recently started spamming ads. This eats up my personal hotspot bandwidth and messes up the user experience no end. Is there a way to install an adblocker extension into the browser used by FM? I'm a Mac, still using FM v14, but will probably upgrade soon if that matters. Does it use Safari or is it its own browser? Do folks have other solutions to this type of problem? Thanks in advance! (I'm not a pro; I'm just somebody that has programmed a bunch of stuff into my own FM databases.)

I'm placing a web viewer on a layout in place of a regular note text field to provide User a scroll bar in long notes. However, when I do so, I lose paragraphs and all data runs together into a single paragraph block. Is there a way I can adjust this so paragraphs are preserved? Also, I just noticed that, although it scrolls fine on laptop, it does not allow scrolling on ipad. Is there a way to do this? We do not need to modify the field, only scroll it. Thank you!

Apparently 3 days ago all my web viewers stopped working. They won't even load so much as Google now. Regular browser windows work just fine but not web viewers in FileMaker. They get about 40% loaded and then stall. It is happening whether the file is hosted or not, and I've tried various files including creating a new one. I'm using FileMaker 15. Anybody ever see this behavior or have any ideas? EDITED TO ADD: I have verified that this is only happening with FileMaker 15. FileMaker 14 displays all web viewers just fine.

Videos play fine if part of a page like http://cnn.com. I have the webviewer in a popover. The attached screen: - fm screen: how the URLs are formatted in a URL field - fm screen2: what the web viewer does with a youtube url - fm screen3: what the web viewer does with a cnn.com page with a video playing - fm screen4: what the web viewer set up looks like.

Nearly everyone knows how to use a web viewer to display a map of an address; especially when the option is built right into the web viewer. (At least in FM10.) Recently, I found a trick to put custom HTML code into the web viewer's url, to dynamically handle your solution's content. (See here and here.) Basically, I'm using the web viewer to handle an embedded google map using the address fields of the specific record. (The embedded map shows just the map and not all of the other "clutter" that maps.google.com gives you.) I'm allowing the user to be able to interact with the web viewer so that they can move the map around and zoom out and such. However, wh…

I've created a FM developer project that outputs an XML file that gets used by a Flash Project. The flash project is published as 'ataf.swf' file which is embedded in a local html web page named 'ataf.html' ataf.swf and ataf.html are in the same directory as the Filemaker project. Everything works fine, however I want this local web page to appear on a layout in the Filemaker project itself (using a web viewer portal), so the user can test if the xml export was a success directly from Filemaker (without opening up a browser). Within web viewer I've tried the URL 'file:///ataf.htm', but it just shows 'file doesn't exist'. I think it's looking in a different…

A client of mine is a courier. they want an estimate of the travel time between a client location and a courier (using a mobile phone that regularly uploads gps co-ords to a filemaker table). Courier may be on a bicycle or in a car. The desire is to prioritize dispatching to people who are in a time-based vicinity of the client. So, you can assume there's a "Trip" table, with client_gps field, and courier table with "current_location_gps" field. and a time_between calculation. Any thoughts?

Hello, Can anyone point me in the direction to learn how to post images of my inventory items in Flickr and have them appear on my layouts and Filemaker 13? I'm not sure if I use a container field or web viewer.When I use the web viewer I can see a Flickr page but I get an error because I don't have credentials in my database to see the photos. So I need to somehow deal with login to Flickr.I would be approaching this from both linking existing photos to eventually snapping a new photo on FMGo and adding it to record.Really hoping for step-by-step instructions to do this- I am stumped! Thanks!

However, when printing/previewing the layout, the complete content of the webviewer is not displayed on the print out - I just send part of the content and then the web viewer scroll bar - which is no good. Other than creating an HTML file for the user to print - I am a bit stuck. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jim.

All machines are running Windows 10, except for one at the home which is on Windows 7. All are using Chrome as the default browser. We are a housecleaning business, so our original programmer (many years ago) implemented a Google Maps button in order for us to view a client's location on a map quickly from FileMaker. It has worked fine for a long time, and then a few weeks ago we noticed that when we view a map, the left-hand "info panel" is just blank white and app…

Hi Guys, Firstly I am using FM Pro 12, my company needs to utilise a map system, we work in the vehicle industry, and we would like a map system to show all available garages (which we will plot ourselves on the map) in a customers post code (UK) range. I have tried using the web viewer and the built in UK Google Maps system, however I find it very limiting in what our staff can do. I have seen a host of different open source solutions, such as FMEasyMaps etc, but they all seem to be for FM 13, not FM 12 like we are using. Any help / advice / suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Thru versions of Filmaker going back at least to FM12, I've heavily used webviewer on my layouts. 1000s of records with stored urls without issues until recently. Some, but not all records with urls crash Filemaker when accessed. A fair number of my records include urls to articles in NY Times. It seems as if the older ones find the NY Times pages and work ok. Perhaps NYT website is doing something differently. For the past couple of weeks, nearly every NYT page whose url I store causes FM to crash. Non-NYT urls aren't doing this. It happens both on 32 bit desktop as well as 64 bit notebook - both Win 10. Any thoughts? Thanks,

Hi Everyone! I have a problem with something that works fine in FM13, but does not work in FM14. I am using a web viewer to display a *.dwf file, which is an Autodesk file we use commonly for displaying drawings. For those who are unfamiliar, think of it as Autodesk's version of a *.pdf. I'm running Windows 7, and I have the Autodesk Design Review Software installed. When I access the file in Filemaker through the web viewer in FM 13, it displays right in the web viewer, which is what we want. If I do the same thing in FM14, however, it wants to open in the outside application. To demonstrate this, I created a stripped down version for FM13, and one fo…

When I copy the HTML out of FileMaker and paste it into a file and open it directly in IE11, I get a security warning on the bottom of the window that says "Internet Explorer restricted this webpage from run…
