Re: Do javascript function in browser widget?
Most examples of that link assume that you have control of the pages. And most use the js of the browser widget as "helper" only, the widget doesn't display anything (is hidden). Now you wrote that you don't have control. So your "first experiments" method is one way to go, then you have full control. My experiences are that there are no general rules how to do that. The best method depends on the current content with all its variabilities. Andre gave some appropriate and useful options. You can also remove all css and js and set the htmltext of the widget to a string with your own (inline) css and/or (inline) js, with or without any "do in widget". ** Merge() is the tool to use your templates. ** > Keith C. wrote: > Thanks for the link, Herman - some interesting use cases there …once I’ve got > the > connectivity in place. :-) > -- > Thanks Andre for the detailed response and HTTPD library steer - that’s new > to me so > I shall review with interest. :-) > I’m not in control of the pages, so that may be more useful than my first > experiments > - which were to download the page content into LC, add some markup and load > the HTML > text into the browser widget as a local ‘offline’ page. > >> hh wrote: >> Browser widget usage examples: >> http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=93=29018 >> >> Andre G. wrote: >> Then in the LC part you can do something like: >>do "paintItRed()" in widget "Browser" >> Which is more readable.

Thanks for the link, Herman - some interesting use cases there …once I’ve got the connectivity in place. :-) Best, Keith > On 6 Nov 2018, at 10:42, hh via use-livecode > wrote: > > Browser widget usage examples: > http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=93=29018 > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Do javascript function in browser widget?
Thanks Andre for the detailed response and HTTPD library steer - that’s new to me so I shall review with interest. :-) I’m not in control of the pages, so that may be more useful than my first experiments - which were to download the page content into LC, add some markup and load the HTML text into the browser widget as a local ‘offline’ page.

Re: Do javascript function in browser widget?
Keith, If you're in control of the HTML used in the widget, then I'd advise you to build functions inside the HTML and just call them from LC instead of executing script directly, such as: in the html ... function paintItRed() { document.body.style.backgroundColor = "red"; } ... --- Then in the LC part you can do something like: do "paintItRed()" in widget "Browser" Which is more readable. Also, the body of the function inside the HTML can be as complex as you want. Now, if you're not in control of the HTML, I'd opt for some out-of-the-box strategy where you have the LC HTTPD library serving the JS content and then use the LC "do .. in widget" form to add a new
Do javascript function in browser widget?
Folks, I’ve found a few examples of simple inline script injection to the browser widget, such as do "document.body.style.background = ‘red';" in widget "Browser” Is it possible to inject a multi-line javascript function - with variables definition, loops, etc - in this fashion or would the function need to be injected into the page within the browser as markup and then called from a one-line script from LiveCode?
