I have created a perfectly working image library database(each record has an image file in a container field and some other text fields). I am trying to make this available on the web using instant web publishing to create the pages. I have a button in my database that allows users to download the image to their own computers. This button is scripted using the export field contents function supplied. This function is not web compatible so the button is disabled when i make the web pages. This function is essential to the system I am creating, can anyone suggest another way of scripting it?

I think it's impossible to do that through IWP, unless you use Advanced Server edition.

would the advanced server version allow me to do this easily using the built in script functions or would I still have to customise the IWP pages produced?

I think you would have to use custom web publishing to do this,

But... you may be able to make the images publicly accessible through IWP if you place them in the Web folder (In the FMP folder) Then create URLs that reference each filename (http://ipaddress/filename.jpg) Where the URL is stored in a text field for each record. Then use the web-compatible open URL script, to allow people to open the files. I just tried this with some pdf files and it works.
