In all the work I’ve done so far with JavaScript and FileMaker, I’ve followed one setup. The JavaScript libraries, functions, the CSS, and the HTML are all stored in FileMaker fields. These fields’ contents are calculated together into a single calc field, and this is the field a web viewer uses as its source. For much of the work I’ve done, this method is sufficient. I can display a date picker or a data tables list of actual data from the custom app using this method. It worked.
