Is anyone actually using the webbrowser widget successfully in an App?

We tried using it (Windows 8.1 running LC 8 DP16) but got errors and weirdness.

1st Loaded this "example stack" https://livecode.com/a-mini-web-browser ... k-included
and got multiple LCB errors as soon as you load the stack (the sample includes a reference to a widget called "push button" that our indy edition does NOT have. No idea where it came from).

Then Loaded this example stack from livecode Docs http://lessons.livecode.com/s/lessons/f ... n_id=22836
and it does, well, nothing. Does not show ANY web page, at all. I suspect this is because the example was built prior to 8 and the new browser widget. (if so, they really should delete it )

Tried starting from scratch - new stack, just adding browser widget to a card, size it to fit screen, and setting a URL. Nothing else.
It does not give "errors" - it just only displays a small square from the web page! (about 60x100 pixels)!

What we wanted, was for it to display the entire page - scaled to fit the screen (like a normal browser on a phone) - but nothing is working. Seems very...odd.

The widget is working here for me, I did the same thing as you -- drag it to the card, resize it, set the URL. I'm on Mac though.

I do know there's a bug report about loading certain web sites that contain certain javascript commands, they don't always display right. Do you get the same results if you load, say, google.com?

Working fine here too. The pushButton widget was dropped in LC16. Are you getting the error in the sim or on a device?

Someone else had a problem with the size of the browser widget.
