Hello - Is there a plug-in or some way to get a layout and record to export as a named HTML document. Can the name also be saved from a field?

thanks

Dave

Is there a plug in or some way to output a record and its formatted layout exactly as it is in filemaker to an HTML document?

I would make a printout of the record as a .pdf and do it this way:

...it should in my humble opinion be posible to fully automate it, via the webviewer, with a little tinkering.

You cannot get HTML formatted EXACTLY as your layout, because HTML is a mark-up language, not a layout program. The same HTML document can be - and often is - rendered differently by different browsers.

If you want exact, you could make a screen shot of your layout, export it, and display it in your HTML code.

If you want "real" HTML - i.e. where the user can select and copy the text - then you can get pretty close by exporting via XML to HTML and linking to a CSS stylesheet which describes how the result should look.
