What is JQuery in FileMaker?

jQuery is a free JavaScript library that offers many functions for the graphical display of objects in the web browser. jQuery is very widespread on today's websites and, according to Wikipedia, is used on around three quarters of all websites. jQuery can also be used in a FileMaker Web Viewer, for example to generate graphical diagrams or to implement dynamic navigation in FileMaker. During implementation, the jQuery library is usually stored in a text field and later integrated into the HTML code to be displayed with a calculation. Below you will find some examples of the integration of jQuery in FileMaker:

• Diagrams in FileMaker with JavaScript and HTML5

jQuery can also be used in a FileMaker database for other graphical applications such as the display of progress dialogs:
