Component | Version | macOS | Windows | Linux | Server | iOS SDK |
WebView | 2.8 | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
Parameter | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
WebViewerRef | Either the Web Viewer Object Name or the Web Viewer ID as returned by "WebView.FindByName" function. |
Returns html code as text or error.
Note for Windows: 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. But the functions should still work if with Web Viewers created via plugin using WebView.Create and WebView.CreateWithControl as those still use Internet Explorer.

MBS("WebView.GetPlainText"; "web")
Query html text from webviewer:
MBS("WebView.GetHTMLText"; "web")
Query formatted text from webviewer:
MBS("WebView.GetFormattedText"; "web")
