Accessing/displaying browser content

I have done a lot of Rev development, but I have not done much in this particular area. Is there a resource in the tutorial/sample area that illustrates features for accessing content from web sites and displaying it inside a Rev (LiveCode) stack?
There are a number of terms in the dictionary related to this, but I'm not quite sure how to begin and what the full potential is.
Looking for a jump start.
Thanks,
Ron

You should find a Browser Sample under Resource Center, Internet. And you may also look for the
URL keyword and related
lessons.

Right on! The "Browser Sampler" stack was really useful. Don't know how I missed it.
I see how it can select or get text from the web-browser content, is it possible to use LiveCode to interact with the elements in the web-browser? Like put text into a field or have a button clicked?
I'm guessing it would use a command like revBrowserExecuteScript using javascript code that would be somewhat the same as if it were in the web page itself.
Is that on the right track?

Yes, revBrowserExecuteScript would be the way. Also checkout the browserBeforeNavigate message which is sent to the card and the puzzle should be complete.
