Hi,  I m extracting data from web viewer  in filemaker,

It takes time to load media, so I wonder if it is possible tu load only text ? without media file (pic, gifs, video ..) 

any plugin are welcome 

 

thank you

With MBS FileMaker Plugin, you can use WebView.SetPreferences function for macOS:

MBS("WebView.SetPreferences"; $WebViewerRef; "loadsImagesAutomatically", 0)

Is there a reason you need to use a web viewer at all for this? Could you not load the page's HTML code into a field or a variable using the Insert From URL[] script step and parse out the data you need from there? I haven't actually tested this, but I believe it should accomplish your purpose.

Well, if you would load a dynamic website like Claris Community, you would get an empty HTML page as all the content is loaded later via JavaScript...

thanks yes I found out about "MBS("WebView.SetPreferences"; $WebViewerRef; "loadsImagesAutomatically", 0)" 

works well   perfect. 

 

Comment : yes but there is always some dynamic part that won't show if you just load. 

 

thank you all

No, not always - only on some sites. And it may not be a part you need. Also, there may be a way to get around that by using cURL - though not in version 15.
