scrolling to the bottom is useful for a process that updates status with html formatted messages. Its useful for the same reason that its useful for edith to have it.
retrieve webpage is useful for the same reason curl is. I'm not aware of a public J routine to webget with https. I suspect that QTwebkit(.dll) or OPENssl(.dlls) expose some crossplatform features that are either libcurl or similar enough to it. The use case is actually access to the underlying http session rather than obtaining GUI contents. ----- Original Message ----- From: bill lam <[email protected]> To: Programming forum <[email protected]> Cc: Sent: Sunday, June 7, 2015 3:09 AM Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] edith stylesheets As present, there is no way yo scroll or retrieve content of webpage, perhaps you would demonstrate why those features are desirable. the default baseurl dummy.html does not exist, but its path is used as the root of relative file resources in html, otherwise those relative paths will be undefined. if you set url instead of html, then baseurl will be irrelevant.
