FileMaker now uses CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to translate the layouts you design into browser-readable versions. If a function you've used or a design you've created can't be duplicated with CSS code, your databases on the Web can look slightly different, or behave in quirky ways. Watch for these problems in your layouts:Value list elements like pop-up lists, check boxes, and radio buttons work perfectly on the Web, even if they're relational. They're displayed as standar204 controls (Figure 17.52). However, users cannot edit value lists with the Edit option or enter new list options with the Other option.
Figure 17.52. In Find mode with the status area hidden, Web users will see a familiar FileMaker interface.
Repeating fields are displayed just as they are in FileMaker, but Merge fields aren't displayed at all.If you specify display formats for date or number fields, they'll be displayed with that format in a Web browser. If you don't specify a format, date and number fields will be displayed with the default format specified in the user's computer operating system.Container fields are displayed as a static graphic. If a container field contains a movie, the movie file must be in FileMaker's Web folder to allow users to play it in their Web browsers.Web browsers ignore the tab order set in FileMaker. If you must change the tab order for one or two fields, you can use the Send Backward/Bring Forward command on the Arrange menu. Web browsers will render fields in the background before fields in the foreground.The height of each row of data will be uniform even if field contents (like graphics in container fields) are not.
