Applescript & Webviewer

[Stuart Taylor]

Is this possible?

1. Can you create an applescript to execute a script in FileMaker

2. Can you create code for a web browser to execute applescript

therefore

Can you embed applescript into a webviewer html page to execute filemaker scripts?

I'm only vaguely guessing where this is leading, what kind of task are the scripts handling?

1. Can you create an applescript to execute a script in FileMaker

2. Can you create code for a web browser to execute applescript

I think that's what ACGI is meant to deal with.

Can you embed applescript into a webviewer html page to execute filemaker scripts?

With some calculated siftings might you get something usefull by...

http://www.filemaker.com/help/FunctionsRef-38.html

...into a field wich is referenced by this function:

But at first sight does it seem pretty bysantine, making one wonder if something havn't been ignore along the line??

Hi Soren,

Its more trying to get a hyperlink or button in webviewer to execute a filemaker script...

These seem like the two issues that would need to be tackled in order to achieve this.

Was trying to avoid anyone getting confused with IWP... as i can see some pretty amazing posibilities if these two questions can be answered.

Was assuming applescript would be supported by the safari framework in some way... but maybe its a security risk.

best

Worst thing is that I've seen it done, the webviewer pulling up new browser windows making custom dialogs in a IWP solution, not knowing the trickery behind except it's something done in javascript ...but I lack enough JS knowledge to grasp how it's done.
