Does anyone have a work around? We are using FMPro 7, FM Server Advanced and Mac OS X 10.4 We are publishing image databases to the web using IWP We have set up a download image button using the Get URL script and some PHP. Have discovered that the download will not work if a clients web browser has the "disable pop up windows" option enabled. We know the Get URL script is the cause. Has anyone discoverd a way to get around this?

Thanks to all for your responses. After many weeks of frustration with this issue I have come to the conclusion it is a Filmaker bug, one they will need to fix pretty ******* quickly if they hope to retain our custom. I have contacted FM support with details of this problem and after three weeks have had no reponse despite follow ups. Not good. Perhaps someone out there has better access to Filemaker and could report this issue!! For fful: I managed to get referenced images to appear in container fields published on the web using IWP by creating a folder to contain both database and images then placing that folder in the Web folder located in the FM7 application folder then doing the image import. I then moved a copy of the folder containing images and database into the Databases folder located in the Data folder that is located in the FM Advanced Server folder that is located in the Library folder. I then moved a copy of the same folder minus the database into the WebServer folder (if you are using Apache) located in the Library folder. An awful lot of farting about if you ask me for a solution that is supposed to be simple and straight forward. All of the above still does not overcome the original problem of referenced images appearing distorted when using IWP to publish to the web.

Has anyone had a problem with the appearance of pictures in container fields using IWP? I have an image database published on the web using FMP 7.3 and FMP Server 7.3 Advanced. The container field has been formatted with the "keep image proportions" box checked and "reduce image to fit frame" selected. The images are imported using a reference. Pictures are appearing distorted, either squashed (for portrait format) or stretched (for landscape format). I have tried everything I can think of including rebuilding layouts, checking and double checking field formatting, resizing the images, nothing seems to work. Can anyone help please? I neglected to mention in the earlier post above that everything appears normal when viewing the database off the web. I have just tried importing the images into the database without using the file reference (they are now "embedded" in the database). Although this has solved the immediate problem it is not a solution we can use as some of our image databases will contain thousands of pictures! Also, buttons that have been formatted to appear as "round" appear as square when using IWP. I have an awful feeling these issues may be filemaker 7 bugs. Is anyone able to shed light on these problems?
