Web Viewer grayed out with Refresh icon

[MichaelAshley]

On iPad, there is an unappealing gray overlay that appears about 1-2 seconds after content load in the web viewer. Tapping on the viewer makes this go away. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a way to avoid it? I have content I don't want users to interact with in some cases, and in any case, I don't see the benefit of this overlay. Screenshot attached.

Many thanks!

update: The latest FM Go iPad update did not address this.

Hi,

I have the same issue, the only way to avoid this, is to disable the interaction with the web viewer when you design it on your layout.

In my case, I need the interaction, so it does not suit.

I tried to tab to an other object on the layout or systematically commit the record, the web viewer seems to be active in any cases.

This behavior really seems inappropriate and only occurs in Go, not FileMaker Pro.

I've found that going to the web viewer object solves this problem.

 

Detailed steps:

• In layout mode, give the web viewer object a name (top of the Inspector's Position tab). Say I've named it "web viewer".

• Use the following script step: Go to Object ( "web viewer" )
