General

• FileMaker WebDirect does not support gestures or animations.

• Modifying a custom app while web users are connected could produce unexpected results. For example, if you save changes to a layout that web users are displaying in List View, each web user's current record is changed to the first record in the found set.

• Use fonts that are installed on all target operating systems. If a font is not available, the web browser substitutes its default font for the unavailable font.

• Objects and grouped objects should not span multiple layout parts. If an object or group of objects spans multiple parts, it displays only in the layout part in which it is anchored.

• When a user enters a field in a portal, records in the portal are not updated until the user leaves the field.

• To identify the current record in List View, apply the Active object state style to the layout's body part. The current record indicator is not supported in List View.

• The highlight, superscript, and subscript conditional formatting options are not supported. Underline, word underline, and double underline are all rendered as regular underline.

• Tooltips are not supported with the following layout objects: text, images, fields that do not allow entry, merge fields, merge variables, portals, charts, web viewers that do not allow interaction, and buttons set to "Do nothing".

• FileMaker WebDirect displays scroll bars according to system preferences. FileMaker WebDirect does not support the Portal Setup dialog box Show scroll bar option.

• If FileMaker WebDirect can't detect or doesn't support the web browser's language, FileMaker WebDirect displays its interface, tooltips, and dialog boxes in English.
