Display Christmas Lights on a FileMaker layout

Display Christmas lights in FileMaker using JavaScript and a WebViewer.

We have put together a FileMaker solution that uses html, CSS, and Javascript in a web viewer to display the a colorful Christmas light display with customizable text and falling snow.

How it works: The web viewer in FileMaker may be used to display any website URL. It can also be used to render html, CSS, and Javascript stored locally in the FileMaker database (as opposed to being hosted on a web server). By placing the html/Javascript/CSS code in a stored field, we simplify the creation of a data URL so we can use quotes without changing them to single quotes or escaping them in the FileMaker code.
