What you've seen is the difference of the htmltext of a browser
(also of a browser widget) and the *generated* htmltext.
The latter includes for example also parts that are generated by
JavaScript parts of the htmltext.

field, only the supported parts go in. But you can grab the unadultered
source first.

Htmltext of a field is not the same as htmltext of the browser widget. A

For example:
set the HTMLText of field "HTMLTextField1" to URL field

First you need to set up a callback function in the widget under javascript
handlers e.g. jscallback then you can call a javascript that calls you back

The htmltext
I am able to load the browser widget with a URL
and go to the URL successfully.
I can get the HTMLtext of the page I have
browsed to just fine.
What I have yet to do is to get the page
source code of the page I have browsed
to in LiveCode into a field.
I also would like the browser widget to
