Parameters

Parameter Description Example value
WebViewerRef Either the Web Viewer Object Name or the Web Viewer ID as returned by "WebView.FindByName" function.
Javascript the text source of the javascript

Description

Run the specified JavaScript and then returns the value of the title property to FileMaker.
To return a result of the JavaScript to FileMaker, simply set "document.title" to the return value. Why did we do this? Because it was the way we could get the result back from the web view on windows. Use "\n" in javascript strings for a newline character.

See newer WebView.Evaluate function which works better on Windows and returns results.
Check JS Functions for JavaScript engine for cross platform code to run without web viewer.

Examples

Return the htmlcode of a field as string:

MBS( "WebView.RunJavaScriptReturnTitle"; "browser"; "document.title=document.getElementById('td_ProcName_v').innerHTML;" )

Return the text of a html item referenced by id as string:

MBS( "WebView.RunJavaScriptReturnTitle"; "browser"; "document.title=document.getElementById('Result').innerText;" )
