I would appreciate your help please. Does someone have a SuperContainer example that just does the following?

I need people to be able to access and work with a FileMaker database using a Web browser and Instant Web Publishing (IWP). The aim is that people will be able to add multiple attachments e.g. PDFs, Word documents, CAD drawings etc (number unknown) to multiple Web Viewer elements (say 3, let's call them "Product A's Design Files", "Product B's Design Files", and "Product C's Design Files"). For each Web viewer element it would be possible to "import an external file", "delete an imported file", "open an imported file" (using the file's native application e.g. Acrobat Reader). A user will need to be able to navigate through imported files (attachments) stored in particular Web Viewer element via First, Last, Previous and Next buttons.

FileMaker's container unfortunately doesn't work in the above scenario but it would seem that SuperContainer (preferably without needing to use SuperContainer's plugin) can be used instead.

Regards.

You are right that SuperContainer is a good solution to this. By placing three web viewers on your layout users would be able to upload the three files you want them to by dragging-and-dropping or clicking an upload button, delete the files by right-clicking and selecting delete, or download and open the files in the native application by double clicking on the image/icon in the web viewer. You would not need to use the companion plugin to perform any of these functions

You can download a demo of SuperContainer from http://360works.com/supercontainer/
