revBrowser javascript error | SOLVED

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up an infokiosk which allows our visitors to visit 3 different sites. I installed software for it , but it still allows them to browser to other websites sometimes, no matter if I only whitelisted those three sites.
So, obvious solution: make it myself in LiveCode. However, 2 of the 3 sites run javascript and it throws an error. Even when I used the example browser from Resources\Examples I get this error. Is there any way to prevent this via some obscure setting? I found that on windows revbrowser uses IE explorer, but the site works fine when I open it there. Also, does this mean it won't work under Linux?
This is one of the offending sites:

Thanks in advance!
Johan

Hi Johan,
I would recommend checking out our new browser implementation in LiveCode 6.7/7.0 as this no longer requires Internet Explorer on Windows and Safari on Mac.
You will be able to download builds of these from out main downloads repository here-
http://downloads.lvecode.com/livecode
The new browsers uses the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). It is currently ported to Mac and Windows within LiveCode but will soon be arriving on Linux
Keep us posted on how you get on
Kind Regards,
Neil Roger

Yes it does the trick!
I'm already running 7.0, so I didn't need to download anything either. Thanks a million!
Now let's see if I can get it nailed shut so the visitors can't visit any nature-sites anymore

Great to hear that the CEF browser works
Something like this should limit users to where they can navigate to (place it in your stack script and set for your browser id)
Code: Select all
on browserBeforeNavigate pInstanceId, pUrl
put pUrl into tUrl
if tURL contains "delijn" then
else
answer "you are not allowed to navigate here"
revBrowserSet tBrowserID, "url", "http://www.delijn.be/en/index.htm"
end if
end browserBeforeNavigate
Kind Regards,
Neil Roger

Finally implementing my program, but the runtime's CEF just gives a white screen, whereas it works in the authoring environment... Help!
EDIT: solved it myself

LiveCode should automatically include any script libraries that are required for the CEF browser to operate but it could be that this in not being included for some reason. As a test, please include this manually via the "General" pane of your stacks standalone application settings. Below is screenshot showing this-

Yep, that works! But you have to include all the rest too then, in my case the XML library, but it's easier than having to copy it manually of course!
Another lesson learned
