mac | pc Get contents of webviewer after changing DOM with Javascript?

[cristoslc]

I'm trying to use TinyMce in a webviewer in FileMaker but save the resulting HTML into a database field.

 

I am aware of the standard practice of using an fmp:// link with a script & parameter, but that won't work in Windows (the html content returned as the parameter will likely exceed the 2048 character limit).

 

I am using a javascript function to change the HTML DOM by putting the contents of the TinyMCE editor into another div on the page when the user clicks "Submit" inside the webviewer. However, when I use `GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "webviewer" ; "Content" )` it shows the content of the unmodified (pre-javascript altered) page, not the page after javascript has modified the DOM.

Is this expected behavior? Am I doing something incorrectly?

Did you use that function in a script or in a calculated field?

[comment]

GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "webviewer" ; "content" )

is the equivalent of 'View Page Source' - so no access to the DOM.

 

 

Have you thought of exploring HTML5's file-saving capability?

There is a hack for getting around windows url length limit. You can find our more here http://www.seedcode.com/filemaker-webviewer-javascript-calculation-engine/ 

 

But basically you need to send the data to the clipboard with

window.clipboardData.setData( 'Text' , mydata );

and then when you call your script, paste the text into a field.
