Filemaker as a web prototyping tool

Hello,

I'm a user interface designer, and I'm interested in using Filemaker for prototyping web applications. Is it possible to link static HTML / javascript pages to the data in a Filemaker database?

I've read the help and looked at some of the Filemaker web sites, and so far it looks like it's not possible - you have to design the layout using FileMaker, and rely on Web Companion's translation into HTML. If so,

I'm thinking of perhaps surrounding the Filemaker database with a couple of static HTML frames, and having links on those frames run Filemaker scripts or change Filemaker layouts. Has anyone done anything like this? Is it possible?

Thanks,

Jim Corban

I am not with you on this. I do mix CDML, HTML, JavaScript, data from databases, Forms, Frames -- you name it I am doing that.

What should be the problem?

Jim, you are thinking of Instant Web Publishing. All the good things are done in Custom publishing. Forget Instant.

Ups forgot about instant. It is even worse than instant coffee!
