Re: Anyone A Guru With RevBrowser ?
Yes, well, that might work for me, but I don't think I can tell the client to force everyone else with a similar setup. The problem has something to do with the way RevBrowser interacts with IE. In IE, Javascript errors are silently indicated via an icon in the status portion of the browser -- perhaps it can't find settings to control this under RevBrowser so it throws up a standard error dialog. Plus, I've tried everything I can think of to exit the browser when clicking a logout link, but it still refuses to shutdown unless clicking a native LiveCode button. Really wish I could find some solutions so I don't have to tell the client to forget it. Oh well.

Re: Anyone A Guru With RevBrowser ?
I take it you've tried send in time on your before navigate handler, to give the handler time to finish before trying to shut it down?

RE: Anyone A Guru With RevBrowser ?
Scott Issue number 1 is the loading of pages: is there anyway to freeze or lock the RevBrowser display until downloading of new page content has completed? The site can be slow to respond, so my thought was to pop up a spinning progress indicator over a snapshot of the current page so the user knows to wait. You can set the browser's rect to be offscreen until the page is loaded and display a wait... message or graphic in the rect where the browser will eventually appear. Issue number 2 is browserBeforeNavigate which is seemingly unreliable. It's quite reliable in my application. Something else may be the matter. The Web site has a logout link, and I am trying to detect clicks on this using browserBeforeNavigate, so I can kill the browser and send the user to the first card of the stack if they log out. Apparently, RevBrowser detects the link click (tested), but LiveCode stays on the same card and shuts down the browser at random intervals, sometimes immediately, and other times only after many seconds (up to 60!). I'm using this routine: One thing I found was that it is important to close the browser as soon as it is no longer needed. While it is visible, the revBrowser is very responsive to changing its rect and to calls from my LC scripts to the JS in the page. But if I forget to close it and other things start being displayed in its space, that's asking for trouble. Your script, below, does that, so you already know it. Maybe you need to make sure it's really happening. I close my browser instances in the same kind of loop, and I haven't seen any failures. Could there be something in progress in the Web pages that delays the response? Slava on browserBeforeNavigate pID,pURL if logout is in pURL then exitBrowser wait 250 millisecs with messages go cd 1 exit browserBeforeNavigate end if pass browserBeforeNavigate end browserBeforeNavigate command exitBrowser put revBrowserInstances() into theList repeat for each item theInstance in theList revBrowserClose theInstance end repeat end exitBrowser I don't understand why this doesn't kill the browser immediately every time. If I call exitBrowser from a LiveCode button, the script works as expected reliably. Thanks for any help/insight.
