Hi Frederic,

Well, that's easy.
I love LiveCode

Code: Select all

on browserFinishedLoading pUrl
   answer url(pUrl)
   -- or
   put url(pUrl) into url("file:" & specialFolderPath("cache") & "/theSourceCode.txt")
end browserFinishedLoading

Hope it helps...

sorry another detail

i would like to put a button beside my browser field to get the sources of the browser content at anytime without reloading the page

do you have any idea ?

Hi Frederic,

Put this into your button's script:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "http://www.example.com/" into tUrl
   answer url(tUrl)
   -- or
   put url(tUrl) into url("file:" & specialFolderPath("cache") & "/theSourceCode.txt")
end mouseUp

This one's better:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  put mobileControlGet("myNativeBrowser", "url") into tUrl
  answer url(tUrl)
  -- or
  put url(tUrl) into url("file:" & specialFolderPath("cache") & "/theSourceCode.txt")
end mouseUp

Replace myNativeBrowser with the name of your browser control

thanks but the web site i am trying to get sources is in ajax and i would like to get the content of the page at different time when i am browsing in
something like " put iphonecontrolGet(sbrowserid, "text") into fld myTextField " maybe

[endernafi]

Look at my second post...
{ put mobileControlGet("myNativeBrowser", "url") into tUrl }

If this doesn't work for you then I didn't understand what you actually mean, sorry...

thanks a lot for your help , i am sorry about my poor english
in fact the content is in javascript and ajax i guess
so content is dynamic inside the page
if i get the sources code i don't see the dynamic content in fact.
idea: is it possible to do a copy - paste inside a native browser ?

There may be some workarounds.
Could you post the link whose content you're trying to retrieve?
I could give a try, then.

Hi Frederic,

Well, I'm sorry to request the link;
I didn't realize that it may be a special web service.
I thought that it's a generic webpage

I managed to get the content
and although the code of that web service is obfuscated, the data can be processed.
Since the subject is no longer directly related to iOS, we should continue this discussion off-list.
Please contact me at endernafi@gmail.com, I'll try to help - if I can -

If we could generate an over-all solution, we'll post it here.
