Displaying JavaScript inside a WebViewer with WebDirect?

[BrentHedden]

I've got a very simple layout that has a WebViewer that points to some Javascript based code.  It works and displays fine when viewing with the FileMaker Pro client.  The JavaScript does have a link to an external file source, which is hosted on our internal website.

 

When I bring up the same layout with WebDirect, nothing shows up in the viewer.  I suspect that it has something to do with the file reference, but I can't prove it.  The file source reads like such -    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://10.1.225.23/tinymce/tinymce.min.js"></script>  (the IP address is an interal address only)  So I don't believe I have to change the context? 

 

Any ideas on something that I might be missing?

 

Thanks!

I haven't tried this, but what if the location of this JS is the same as a custom home page for WD? would it then be "relative" to the WD server?

I've done a fair bit of work playing with WD and embedded webveiwer objects and JS,

I suggest you trap for the error and use an alert to display it.

You can see how to here, WD fails silently otherwise.

Hi, Charles,

 

I am currently having the same problem of displaying vebviewer objects on webdirect. I didn't find any solution by searching. Your suggestion looks very smart. I wish I could have a try. however, I am very new on JS. Although I read the link you give, I still cannot make the solution to work. I am wondering if you would be able to post your solution in detail here? Or you could send me by email: [email protected]

 

thank you very much!!
