Hi guys, problem here.

I'm working with a web viewer and I'm familiar with triggering a script from within the web viewer using the fmp:// protocol.

 

But, what I need is kind of the opposite. I have a 2000 records list that I need to display in my webviewer. As one may find, that is lots of html data, what makes my solution very slow.

 

What I want is a webviewer that displays the first records and, when I scroll down (my first option) or I click a button (second option, but also ok) it displays more records. I'm aware that I could do that using the url protocol, calling a script, rewriting the html code for the webviewer, but that seems as a dumb solution

 

So, it's my understanding that javascript can change the html of a webpage (played a little with javascript, but not a master). So, in theory, there is a way for javascritp to append to the end of my <body> the next record

 

I could use the ExecuteSQL function (not the script step) if it worked, but I'm not sure how to do that without hardcoding the change of the webviewer code, and I rather not do that. I'm really hoping I can handle it from the webviewer

 

I have a hard time being brief. What I want is to pass a parameter from the filemaker to javascript to execute its function.

 

Any help will be overwhelmingly appreciated

well, maybe I've overstated my understanding of programming. I'll take a look, but both examples seem a little too complicated... If you could elaborate a little more.

 

As for the moment, I should explain I don't have a filemaker server.
