livecode and *Readability.js* (='.'=)

[Klaus]

What about:

Code: Select all

put the htmltext of widget "Browser" into field "PlainText"

[Mariasole]

Now Works!! Many thanks Klaus.... but....

Is there a way to copy all the text, the plain text, contained in the html page, not its code?

Something like...

Code: Select all

put the TEXT of widget "Browser" into field "PlainText"

Or should Ido javascript?

Grazie mille!

Buongiorno Maria,

certo, there is a trick with "the templatefield":

Code: Select all

...
set the htmltext of the templatefield to the htmltext of widget "Browser"
put the text of the templatefield into fld "PlainText"

## Important to avoid surprises when creating a new field later!
## Although I think hte IDE also takes care of that.
reset the templatefield
...

Thank you Klaus for teaching me a new element of LC!
[Sei sempre molto carino e gentile (e molto bravo!)]

I also saw that creating a new field there was the setting "new" .... I have indeed written "put empty into templatefield" and everything is back ok.

I then did a test on example.com

The result was this:

Example Domain body { background-color: #f0f0f2; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; } div { width: 600px; margin: 5em auto; padding: 50px; background-color: #fff; border-radius: 1em; } a:link, a:visited { color: #38488f; text-decoration: none; } @media (max-width: 700px) { body { background-color: #fff; } div { width: auto; margin: 0 auto; border-radius: 0; padding: 1em; } }

I have Windows 7 and LC 8.1.9, do you see the same thing?

Grazie mille!

Hi Maria,

what you see is the CSS inside of the html, but since LCs implementation of HTML is VERY basic, CSS is obviously considered as NON html, but only text. Sorry!

Grazie Klaus!
Ho capito... Grazie davvero per la soluzione, faccio io un "parse" per toglierli!
Grazie ancora Klaus

Du bist eine besondere Person!

Buongiorno Maria,

to be honest, my italian is almost non-existent or (speaking this fluently):
Io non posso parlare italiano!

...wie mein Deutsch!
I understand ... Thanks for the solution, I do a "parse" to remove the css!

Vielen Dank!

Just tried Klaus' recipe on a Macintosh system (10.7.5) and it worked perfectly!

htmlStrip.livecode.zip

(5.19 KiB) Downloaded 212 times

no parsing, no nothing.

of course that could be my choice of webpage

Thanks Richmond,
could you try on Mac with the site "example.com"?
On Win 7 I always have the problem of ghost css!

Vielen Dank!
