Yeah..... cool.....thanks for that .....I figured as much ,,,,,, it would make sense why these kinds of protections would exist........ but imagine what could be done without them...lol....
So how bout those cookies? for the browser? is there any possible workaround to log into twitter or facebook using the browser ? and not be asked the password each time? I know that accessing api is the next option....but I actually wanted the actual sites in a lc browser widget without having to log in every time. Yeah.... maybe i will do a more detailed search to see what has been posted on the subject of browser cookies. maybe its a lc 10 feature ... local storage for browser widgets. can't a cookie be a custom property of a browser widget? :D :D :D On Tue, Jul 31, 2018 at 2:56 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > I'm going to say that Javascript is written to prevent you from doing > that.
