Yes... However, I have found it to be more accessible that  
Scriptaculous.

Not specifically... I have been experimenting with FM's API.   
However, the principle is exactly the same.

I have done a _very_ quick and _very_ dirty modification to the demo  
page to show a post to filemaker (posted backchannel) which sends the  
whole string.  This wouldn't be too hard to parse and get it into the  
correct fields.  I'm not sure what fields are needed.

If anyone wants the files, just contact me.

HTH.
