Thanks @Malcolm ! I'm really getting back into FileMaker lately after a few years away. I didn't know any JavaScript or frontend development years ago when I was active in FileMaker, and now I'm realizing all the features I wanted to add back then are possible with web viewers.
I have a bunch of new content planned, and I'm starting a new series of videos on low-code tools.
I've been doing a variation of that with a recalcitrant client who is adverse to "rule by computer". No matter how many fields I provide, they put the entire address into the first field. So I grab that, throw it at the Nominatum API and see if I can get a valid address. Amazingly, most of the time Nominatum can parse the address, and that is poured into the correct fields. When Nominatum can't figure it out I throw up a window asking them to try again.
A lot of people questioned the fact that Claris made some room to use JavaScript. This is an example of the power of Java. You need a special control not provided by FileMaker ? Create a small WebViewer and implement it inside then insert
that WebViewer inside your Layout !
@greenflux , you proved that FileMaker is still able to create great apps !
