How FileMaker WebDirect works

FileMaker WebDirect runs in a web browser and uses these standard web technologies:

• HTML5 to define the structure of the page

• CSS3 to control the appearance of the page

• JavaScript to enable interactions (for example, clicking buttons)

• HTTP/HTTPS and WebSocket protocols to communicate between the web browser and the web server

HTML5 and CSS3 are implemented differently across web browsers. How your FileMaker WebDirect custom app works can vary according to how the web browser conforms to these standards, how the browser's JavaScript engine performs, and how the browser parses and renders CSS.
