Script Step Web Compatiblily

Featured Replies

When testing a simple solution with IWP, this is to be used with Server Advanced, I get strange behavior with the GotoRecord/Request/Page script step. This step is supposed to be compatible with the web. If I insert this step into a script or try to assign it to a button and then click the Web Compatibility checkbox it inserts the following into the scrpt:

GotoRecord/Request/Page [Perform with dialog(NOT COMPATIBLE):First]

Which is very peculiar. Plus these buttons when viewed on the Web to not work. I cannot go from record to record with this step step attached to a button. Can anyone shed any light on this. Thanks much.

You must take away the perform w/ dialog box on the bottom of that script. IWP and using FileMaker online cannot use FileMaker dialog on the web since the user doesn't have FileMaker on their machine. After you uncheck that box, the script will work on the web with the button you made.

In Filemaker Pro 7 and Filemaker Developer 7 (I just checked), there is no "perform w/ dialog" check box for that script command.

There is a dialog option if you choose to go to Record/Request/Page by calculation. But the step still thinks it is Not Compatible when you choose First, Previous, Next or Last. Which under normal operation do not require the use of a dialog box. I think this is a FM glitch. I have temporarily gone around the problem by using the "by calculation" method and choosing to not have a dialog box. It works in FM and also in IWP. The calculations are: First = 1, Previous = Get(RecordNumber) - 1, Next = Get(RecordNumber) + 1, and Last = 999999999999, a large number beyond the possible last record number. I wonder if this has been reported to FM yet.

Yes, I know that when you use goto next record or goto previous record, it says not compatible, but the only thing that is not compatible is the preform with dialog, the script step will still work, just that you will not see the dialog. There is not a checkbox to disable this, only for the calculation, why, im guessing that you cannot disable it for some reason. But nevertheless, the script will still work, I have tried it myself on IWP.
