WebView.RunJavaScriptReturnTitle
Run the specified JavaScript and then returns the value of the title property to FileMaker.
| Component | Version | macOS | Windows | Linux | Server | iOS SDK |
| WebView | 1.4 | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
For Windows with Edge browser or Web Direct, you may use the Perform JavaScript script step in FileMaker 19 instead.
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;" )
