No it does not. The MBS plug-in will only work with FileMaker versions 7, 8, 8.5 and 9.
Note: Some of the features will not work on all versions. For example the WebView component is design to work with the FileMaker built in webviever control which was released with FileMaker 8.5
Installation Questions
You simple have to call the MBS register function, with your license information, one time per FileMaker session. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in the User's Guide.
To install the plug-in place it in the extensions folder inside the FileMaker Application Folder. A very detailed description of how to install can be found here.
FAQs about the WebViewer
You can use the Form Index instead of the Form Name. This works with either the Raw JavaScript approach or using the simply DOM functions that MBS includes. For example lets say you want to add values to the the 3rd Form on a page then you woud use an index of 2 to address that form. Then using the MSB DOM functions you can do this:
MBS( "WebView.SetFormInputValue" ; "web"; 2; "FirstName"; "Wilbur" );
this would set the FirstName Field of the 3rd form to "Wilbur"
The FireFox addon "WebDeveloper" can tell you the index of your form.
Remember JavaScript like most languages has zero based indexes. This means it has that 0 is always the first number in any list.
