Will2064 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Hi. We want to pre-load web pages in the FM Web Viewer so that our editors can flip from one to the next without waiting for each page to load. Just like when you use your browser to open several URLs in different tabs all in one go. We have one record per web viewer and hence web page. We find the set of records We go to a layout with the Web Viewer on it We run through the records using the next record step, and pause briefly on each one. We go back to the first record. This works for small numbers of records - eg 12. When the user clicks through to the next record, the web page is already there. This does NOT work for large numbers of records, eg 60. Then ALL the web pages only load when the user clicks through. Does anyone know what the problem is? Is there a known threshold? Is there a simple workaround? Many thanks in advance - W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will2064 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Answering my own question: FM11 only seems to keep a maximum of 20 web viewer pages in its memory. Open more than that and it starts clearing the ones you opened before. I don't think this is programmable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies Douglas Alder Posted October 13, 2011 Newbies Share Posted October 13, 2011 Would it work to use a loop to open multiple windows? I did a little test database with 25 records and they all load, but because they are their own windows, they don't seem to suffer from the caching issue.
