My online database works swimmingly using IWP (well...sort-of), but I would like to take one piece of data from it and pass it through to a webpage form. Does anybody have an idea how this might be possible.

Could I possibly use the ?XXX format to append the data to the URL for the page? Has anybody tried this before?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

P.s. Conversely, it would also be great to be able to accept data back.

OK - well I have this working now. Append the data to the URL address for the page and then use JavaScript to Get the data.

However, I now have another issue, which is the one of getting data back to FileMaker from another web page. I have used the new GetLayoutObjectAttribute script step to access the contents of the web viewer. It works fine using FileMaker on the network, but when I access the database using IWP through a browser the wretched script only retrieves the URL of the web page in the web viewer and not the HTML content.

Anybody have any ideas why this might be happening? I believe I am using the latest version of FM server advanced (8.0v4) and it does the same trick using different browsers.

thanks for any hints

I think I have pinned the problem down now, but don't know how to deal with it.

I have the following in a script:

Set Field [Text1; GetLayoutObjectAttribute ("page1";"content")]

The problem with it seems to be that the browser window refreshes just before the step runs. This means that the webpage it refers to has not completed loading up and the only information it can access is the URL. I have tried putting in a Pause step and even a loop, which delays the script, but not the refresh which still happens just before the step.

Does anybody know if there is any way I can prevent this happening or store the contents of the WebViewer without causing a refresh?
