But once I got it, he he he!

get revBrowserExecuteScript(sBrowserId, "alert('This is a debugging message');"
get revBrowserExecuteScript(sBrowserId, the text of field "JavaScript" of me)

Klaus wrote:Hi Esso,

when you open a (new instance of the) browser control, which is in fact an OVERLAY on top of your stack,
you will get an ID, that you can later use to manage that namely browser instance:

Code: Select all

...
## Make this variable LOCAL or GLOBAL, depending on where you put all your revBrwoser..." scripts:
global sBrowserID

## 1. You need to supply a window ID, where the browser instance will "stick" to:
put the windowid of this stack into tWID

## 2. Open instance and store its ID for later use!
put revBrowserOpen(tWID,"http://www.server.com/page.html") into sBrowserID

## 3. Check for possible errors, ID MUST be an integer on success:
if sBrowserID is not an integer then
  answer "Problems openeing browser:" && sBrowserID
  exit to top
end if

## 4.
## Now you need to set some properties of the browser to position the window and SHOW it:
## I ususally use a HIDDEN graphic as a placeholder for the RECT of my browser
put the rect of grc "the hidden placeholder for the browser" into tRect
revBrowserSet sBrowserID, "rect", tRect
revBrowserSet sBrowserID, "visible", TRUE
### etc. check all "revBrowser..." commands and functions in the dictionary.
...

That are the basic commands to open a browserinstance on top of the current card.
And DONT forget to add a button somewhere to close the browser!
...
revBrowserClose sBrowserID
...

Have you looked at browserFinishedLoading?

I wish I could! It may surprise you, but I am just a user of Livecode and not employed at or related to RunRev in any way.

on opencard
  ## or whenever

   ## We are on iOS or Android
  if the environment = "mobile" then
     mobilecontrolcreate "browser"...
     ## More mobile stuff...

  else
     ## Desktop:

not neccessarily!

You can check "the environment" and act accordingly, something like this:

Code: Select all

on opencard
  ## or whenever

   ## We are on iOS or Android
  if the environment = "mobile" then
     mobilecontrolcreate "browser"...
     ## More mobile stuff...

  else
     ## Desktop:
     put revBrowseropen(...)
    ## More desktop stuff...
  end if
end opencard

You get the picture

And maybe take a look at this stack:
