CHAPTER 17: Script Triggers
FYI... Pulled this tidbit from the online FileMaker KnowledgeBase and thought I’d pass it along. I heartily recommend every professional FileMaker developer to check out this valuable resource from time to time. ARTICLE: # 7092
DIRECT URL: http://tinyurl.com/lz4w3k
The focus of the article is a condition in which the script associated with the OnRecordCommit script trigger isn’t firing as expected within FileMaker Instant Web Publishing. It looks to be associated with the edit record behavior found in browser based implementations. In particular, it looks to be associated to edits that are preceded with an Open Record / Request Script Step.
I’d like to reference another valuable and often overlooked resource, the help system built into FileMaker 10 itself. There is an article titled “Setting Up Script Triggers” and the following can be found in the Notes section ...
In Instant Web Publishing and Custom Web Publishing, script triggers can only be activated by a script and not by direct user interaction. For example, if a user tabs into a field that has an OnObjectEnter script trigger, the trigger will not activate. If a script step causes focus to move into that field, the script trigger will activate.
