I have been working with using Exhibit with included data, connecting it to a FileMaker database.
You can see this here: <http://207.202.207.132/fmi/iwp/> Choose Exhibit, Login admin, no password Note: this is using the development version of Filemaker server, so the number of connections is limited. Also, it is on a residential DSL line with moderate upload speed. The idea is that the user might select particular FileMaker data and choose to view or report on it. Ultimately I'd like to make this a kind of generic solution. At this point I am not really using the Filemaker data, but instead I am just holding static JSON data in a field and having a replace operation pull the data into the HTML for Exhibit. The view you will see using the above link use a FileMaker feature called "Instant Web Publishing" ( IWP ) The "Viewer" tab uses a FileMaker feature called a "Web Viewer". This uses Webkit to see anything specified by a URL that has associated with the Web Viewer. Finally we get to the problem statement: All of this works fairly well in IWP; but that is not how I want to use this feature. Insteasd, I want it to be visible in the standard client version of FileMaker. If you have FileMaker 9 and wish to try this, the example file is here: <http://www.concise-design.com/downloads/exhibit.zip> This works fairly well but there seems to some kind of refesh or cache issue and frequently you will get an incomplete view that looks like this: <http://concise-design.com/downloads/exhibitproblem.png> If I go to the original Nobelists page and refresh it twice, then go back to my included-data view, it will work properly again.
