display webpage or link to a webpage using a revlet

[reelstuff]

Is there a way to display a webpage using a revlet?

Or is there some other method of displaying a browser window,

I have tried,

Code: Select all

revGoURL  "http://www.somewebsite.com

This would be something like having a href link in a standard webpage.

I noticed I can use load URL but this does not give me the ability to display the webpage only the raw html

any thoughts or suggestions?

Reelstuff,

Activate the Process security option on the Web pane of the standalone settings and it will work.

Best,

Mark

Hello reelstuff,

I was following your post and wanted to ask/note several things on the same topic.

1 [note]. I believe revGoURL is depreciated for: launch url urlToLaunch (example: launch url "http://www.runrev.com"),
2 [ask]. There seems no way to control the target (_blank, _parent, _self, _top etc) of the url opened with either launch url or revGoURL, as it is left to the browser/system defaults. In Internet Explorer on Windows the default behaviour is to open a new window. How then might you set a target other than the default, for example target="_self" ? Have you wanted to set the target? Have you found a way?
3 [observation] It would be better (ideal) if the revBrowser library was available within the RevWeb Plug-in/Revlets, given the depth of it's functionality.

Let me know your thoughts.

Merry Christmas, Andrew

1. I will have to check on depreciation, I have not heard it, but then again there are apparently quite a lot of changes in the works soon...
2. I think setting the target would be a good feature.
3. having the revBrowser library available in the Archtichure would be a fantastic addition.
