Description

Sets whether the web viewer allows the user to edit its HTML document.
You can change the receiver's document programmatically regardless of this setting. By default a WebView object is not editable.
Normally, an HTML document is not editable unless the elements within the document are editable. This method provides a low-level way to make the contents of a WebView object editable without altering the document or DOM structure.

For Windows this function is only supported in FileMaker Pro when using Internet Explorer as engine behind the Web Viewer, but not when Microsoft Edge/Chrome engine is used.

Examples

Turn editing on for a webviewer:

Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "WebView.SetEditable"; "web"; 1 ) ]
