Re: Couple of questions about the browser widget

[Terry Judd via use-livecode]

Yeah, there’s no problem with the browser display here either – it sizes 
correctly and no scrollbars are displayed. The issue is purely to do with the 
checkboxes in the property inspector being non-responsive. I’ll bug report it 
when I have a bit of spare time tomorrow.

Out of curiosity.. If you nudge the width and height of the widget when
empty, do the scrollbars go away?  On my system (win 10, and lc 9 dp8)  I
have no control over whether the scrollbars appear or not either, other
than sizing the widget to the point where all the content fits.  But they
do poof for me when the sizes are right.

The checkboxes for me on 9 dp8 are checked. One can uncheck them but it
doesn't take.  I do think the widget just lets webkit handle it the default
way.. Scrollbars as needed. But if that's the case, having check-boxes in
the inspector that do nothing would be a bug of a type also.

Strange.  when I run my little test stack and set the height of the browser

Re: Couple of questions about the browser widget

[Terry Judd via use-livecode]

Hi Mike - I don’t think it’s an issue in my case. I’m displaying pretty simple 
pages – just text and images, no columns or fancy layouts. Nothing that is 
displayed will be wider than the browser (images are resized before being 
loaded to ensure this) so no horizontal scrolling will be required under any 
circumstances.

Anyway, you don’t seem to be able to toggle either scrollbar off either using 
the property inspector or via script, even when the browser widget has no 
content (no htmlText or url assigned). Given that I’m setting the height of the 
widget so that it doesn’t need to scroll vertically and horizontal scrolling is 
irrelevant then the inability to toggle these properties isn’t a problem. 
Still, it seems like a bug? Interestingly, under 8.1.4 both vScrollbar and 
hScrollbar are checked in the property inspector (and stuck like that) while on 
8.1.6 they are both unchecked (and stuck like that).

Regards,

Terry...

Re: Couple of questions about the browser widget

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Maybe Try this:



body {
overflow: hidden;
}



Also, the internal width or height of content in the browser is not necessarily 
the same as the width as measured by LC.

Things like the screen pixel scale can have an effect.

Re: Couple of questions about the browser widget

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

hmm.  If the width of the page fits without need of a horizontal scrollbar,
it should disappear, so maybe your code should check to see if its false
first, then add the 23 pixels or not, depending. (I also can't test to see
if its 23 on every platform at the moment)

I'm wondering if you're just not allowed to set a bar to false when the
content is too wide or high and vice versa.

Re: Couple of questions about the browser widget

Perfect! Interesting about the hScrollbar setting – I seem to be unable to 
deselect that (or vScrollbar) in the property editor – or change them via 
script (both are stuck on true).

Thanks,

Terry...

Re: Couple of questions about the browser widget

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

If you post the line that sends a message from JS to LC, we should be able to 
tell you what is wrong.

The code looks like this:
JS

liveCode.myHandler('JSMessage','test');


LC

On myHandler pMessage, pData
If pMessage = "JSMessage" then
Answer pData
End if
End myHandler

This will produce an LC answer dialog that says "test"

The keys to making this work:

1. the JS object is "liveCode" not "LiveCode" or "livecode" - JS is case 
sensitive.

2. The method, in this case "myHandler", becomes the LC handler, so make sure 
the LC handler is in the message path for the browser widget.

3. Make sure the JS script is firing - you can put in a line like 
"alert('hello');" to make sure JS is getting to that point in the script. Alert 
is like answer in LC.

4. Make sure your JS command lines end with a semicolon, but the structure 
lines do not, like this:

function LCTest() {
liveCode.myHandler('JSMessage','test');
}

Also, you can find example stacks that demonstrate this stuff - the JS to LC 
stack on LiveCode Share shows how to get messages with data into and back out 
of the browser widget. For advanced image techniques, Hermann has posted many 
excellent stacks.

Re: Couple of questions about the browser widget

[Terry Judd via use-livecode]

Hi Mike – yeah thanks, the temp file approach for setting the browser widget 
and getting an image to display works well so maybe easiest to go that way. I’m 
still steeling myself for a foray into javascript so haven’t tried anything on 
that front yet. I’ve got some Dropbox library related stuff to distract me 
first though.

Re: Couple of questions about the browser widget

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

For the second question, if your htmltext contains a javascript function
that returns document.body.scrollHeight you should be able to get the
height that way.I'm not any good at javascript, but how it would
probably work would be to have something like this..

window.onload = function(e){
 livecode.myHeight('lcHeight",document.body.scrollHeight)
 }

Then have an lcHeight handler defined in your stack to receive the message.

command lcHeight pHeight
   -- do something with pHeight
end lcheight

Then of course you have to declare the handler..

set the javascripthandlers to "lcHeight"

Couple of questions about the browser widget

[Terry Judd via use-livecode]

I’m thinking about replacing a field object that contains text, inline images 
and simple tables with the browser widget but there are a couple of issues I’d 
need to work through first and would welcome any suggestions or ideas.

The first one concerns displaying local images – either stored (permanently or 
temporarily) within the stack itself or in the local documents/whatever folder. 
I’d like to set the htmlText of the browser rather than a url. If that’s the 
case, how do I refer to the image in order for it to be displayed?

The second one is whether it is possible to get the ‘formattedHeight’ of the 
browser content. I’d ideally like to combine the browser with a couple of other 
grouped controls so that I can scroll them as a single object. Is that doable?

Regards,

Terry...
