Hello! i've been searching but cant find a way to get the current url of the browser widget. i found how to set it, and tried to work from there... but still cant find a way that works. all i want to do is get the current url from the browser and put it in a variable. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi karimariesk,

(almost) everything you can SET, you can also GET again! :D
So this works for me, at least on the desktop!):

Code: Select all

put the URL of widget "myBrowser" into tUrl

you are a life saver! i tried that, BUT without the "the" infront of the url. i tried using set, (set tUrl to url of widget "browser") but it just gave me an error.
thank you Klaus!!

well, LC is not C or VB or whatever! I only meant that you can retrieve (almost) every value that you have set before in LC. :D
