Easier JavaScripting with Carafe
Because of the rich UI experiences which JavaScript provides within a web browser, it makes sense to take advantage of the various possibilities. The difficulty may be putting all the pieces together in order to get something working correctly.
Fortunately, JavaScript isn't just for those "other developers". Those who already know what they're doing. You too, can easily integrate and use JavaScript within your own solutions. You simply need to be ready to learn enough in order to integrate successfully. You need to be a JavaScript integrator.
When you're comfortable with getting data in and out of FileMaker, then you're able to have all those rich experiences which are found within the world of the web browser.
An open source project named Carafe, created by Jeremiah Small, and released by Soliant in April of 2019, has provided a very easy way to integrate various JavaScript resources. In this video I walk through the tool and some of its features. I then show how to take one of the bundles and integrate into a brand new FileMaker file. If you're looking for more reasons to explore the use of JavaScript within your solution then this video provides a great place to start.

After pushing Yes/No on JS Delete button, I get a website error
Hello - I am trying to implement the button sample and went step by step with the video. Everything is working perfectly until I click on the Delete button and get to the Yes/No dialog. When I click on either Yes or No I get a 'The webpage cannot be displayed" error in the webviewer instead of going to the test dialog. Any thoughts of what to check next?
Thanks for your help!
