calc to change layout when web viewer url changes to a specific address

Featured Replies

HELLO

This i a real hard one. I have a movie that plays on a webpage and I VIEW it in filemaker via the web viewer.

When the movie finishes playing on the web page it automatically goes to another URL that i will call www.abc.com.

I would like to know if there is a way for filemaker to detect the change in the url and could move to another layout i will call 'FEATURED" when the web viewer changes to the url "www.abc.com ? THANK YOU

you could set up a calc field like this

GetAsText ( GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "web1" ; "content") )

do not store results, calculate as needed...

then the check script would be

if( not patterncount("unique to first web page";calcfield))

go to layout " whatever"

end if

you will need something to run a script from a calculation , try http://www.troi.com/...vator26_pr.html

Is there a way without a plugin to get the url in a web viewer ?

getting the url from the webiewer isn't the problem, changing layouts in a calculation is the problem, you need to use a script to change the layout. a plugin can fire the script from within the calculation.
