    FileMaker Pro allows JavaScript integration within Web Viewers, enabling dynamic UI elements, third-party libraries, and two-way communication between JavaScript and FileMaker scripts. This is especially powerful for creating interactive charts, forms, maps, and data visualizations.

    Calling FileMaker from JavaScript Inside a Web Viewer, JavaScript can trigger FileMaker scripts using:

    FileMaker.PerformScript("ScriptName", "Optional Parameter");
    FileMaker.PerformScriptWithOption("ScriptName", "Optional Parameter", "3");
    Copied!

    • script: Name of the FileMaker script.

    • parameter: Data passed to the script, retrievable via Get ( ScriptParameter ).

    • option: Controls how running scripts are handled.

    Example:

    function submitForm() {
    let name = document.getElementById("name").value;
    let rating = document.getElementById("rating").value;
    let color = document.getElementById("color").value;
    let param = `${name}\n${rating}\n${color}`;
    FileMaker.PerformScriptWithOption("Store Data from Web Form", param, "0");
    }
    Copied!
