HTMLViewer Set URL WIndow get JavaScript “” instead of an url nearly says all (and probably nothing to you).
In a project with an HTMLViewer Control, I use another window to set the URL (so I do not waste 40 or more pixels in the window height).
The URL set in that window is stored in a Property, then passed to the HTMLViewer Control.
On OS X, this works fine.
On WIndows 8.1, I get JavaScript "" when I call that window to change a date in the URL parameter string. (HTMLViewer.ExecuteJavaScript is not used anywhere in this project and even if, why will the result be so different on <> platforms ?)
Ive made a search on the project for the Property name and seek where I set HTMLViewer.LoadURL(TheURL) and found nothing (and I am quite sure that I do not put a single word of JavaScript
).
Any idea of a location to look for ?
Nota: this is a project I have lost and I am adding the features it have in the standalone; this feature works fine in the standalone.
Heres a screen shot of my window with the wrong url:
I wrote earlier (before the screen shot)my window, because sometimes the displayed window is not mine, but from Windows itself (I suppose).
Still no idea ?
Post the code that shows that result.
Hi Michel,
here you are: HTMLViewer.LoadURL(TheURL)
TheURL is filled in that windows OK Button.
When I put an url into the above windows TextField, it is saved in a Module Property.
I checked - as I wrote above - all instances of the Module Property to be sure nothing nowhere can set a value to that property “behind my back” (that I forgot since 2014).
All of these works fine in the OS X build.
Ive made a run of checks for code in KeyDown events, MenuItems, the code in the above window, etc. just in case I can find something, some error I may have, but I do not found a single clue there.
Nota: I am quite sure to already made these checkings, but sometimes the memory fails.
Incredible: I already place this very question here and get a suggestion. That suggestion have been implemented (UserAgent, I set one)
Also, I enhanced the way the URL was set since then.
Also, the current project is based on a project last modified 27 days after that question (2015-10-30
).
In the youngest folder that holds the last version (before the hard disk erase) of the project I rebuild the current from
I had a compiled (exe) application. That also have the bad behavior.
What I recall, but without any archive for that project/application) is that I used it on Windows from November 28th 2015 'till December 24 (or 25), 2015, a period of time I do not had a MacBook handly. So, somewhere in that time area, a solution was found.
And since I use that application for screen shots
I get the other window that appears when I press Ctrl-L on Windows 8.1:
And it works: I typed Google and it showed the Google main page in my HTMLViewer
Yes, I read what is in thet window: I have an Open MenuItem, but it is disabled. I even changed the Open MenuItem name, run and the project compiles fine (so the Open MenuItem is really disabled: I do not call the window above).
I do not even realized that the text in that window is in French until I saw that I forgot to remove the surrounding white (WIndows Paint application).
I found that there is two Renderer(s)
I change it to WebKit and will test that later (I have to go / remove my car from the parking before the Police remove it for me
).
I forgot to take the PC laptop with me so I cannot confirm at 100% that now this works:
I clicked in the Renderer PopupMenu to choose WebKit.
Then I noticed that I had code that does that too
Then I build the standalone to see its size gets 20MB + the previous size, *
then it started to work correctly at home with local html files.
Read my newer onversation about the Renderer
for more details.
