How do I get the current URL of the page loaded in the browser widget

[jameshale]

Hi all,

I am stumped at determining the URL of the current page being displayed in the browser widget.

I have a stack with the widget and I set its URL

The page displays and I can interact with it.
Great.

I then click on a link within the page (actually on a pop upwundow) and go to another page.

How do I get the URL of this page?

Looking at the dictionary it seems I could respond to "browserDocumentLoadComplete pUrl"

But I don't know how to use it.
I am assuming it can be located in a script in the card.
So I tried...

Code: Select all

on browserDocumentLoadComplete pUrl
   put purl
end browserDocumentLoadComplete

But nothing.

Any ideas?

Hi James,

this works for me:

Code: Select all

on browserDocumentLoadBegin tUrl
   put tUrl
end browserDocumentLoadBegin

However "browserDocumentLoadComplete" also worked for me, but only tested in the IDE.

Best

Hi Klaus,
No still nothing here.
Was your script in the card?

This intrigued me so I did some research.
It looks like there is a direct way of getting the URL of the browser.

Code: Select all

on getTheURL
   get the URL of widget "MyBrowser"
   put it & return after field "The URL"
end getTheURL   

I hope this works for you.
