Another pain in the difference between Chrome and Safari is that Safari will still print the 'v' on paste but Chrome does not. So we need to determine if it is Chrome or Safari and either replace the 'v' or not. So we use this to detect the browser type: var isChrome = (navigator.userAgent).includes...

There is an issue apparently with Chrome because it won't allow you to attach the onPaste event handler to an object like Canvas. So you have to point it at the Document. So it needs to be: document.onpaste = function(event){ This does mean you need to handle whether something other than the canvas ...

To get the standalone to match or follow the size of the browser window, add the following to the standalone HTML: <script type="text/javascript"> function reportWindowSize() { var myStack = document.liveCode.findStackWithName('myStandalone'); myStack.js2LC_resizeStack(window.innerWidth,window.inner...

You would think something as basic as copy/paste would be easy but native Javascript makes it not so easy. However, most browsers, including chrome, safari and firefox, have both the clipboardData API and onPaste/onCopy/onCut event handlers included. So, for a simple paste function one method is thi...

I actually did ask something foolish only two days ago. Of course my code was only 1 character out (isn’t it always). But I still got a lovely message from both Heather and Eleanor. The rest of the team are just as welcoming. Let us know what you hear. I’d like to know the state and know how to subm...

You could simply use "send in <time>". It's better than wait, not only a workaround.

Sorry, Hermann, only just noticed this post. I (wrongly) assumed that because wait didn't work (heaven knows why - JS can do a wait functions) that 'send in' wouldn't either.

My SQL library is just about done.

So, amazingly, send "{command}" to me in 2 sec works, even though wait can't. Therefore, wait with messages is easy(ish). You just split up your code: on myCommand_1 -- Do some stuff... send "myCommand_2 tMyParametersToPassInAnArray" to me in 1 second -- ^ Is the same as 'wait 1 sec with messages' ^...

A simple bit of code to produce an alternative for 'wait' that works for html5 deployment: on waitFor pMS put the millisec into tMS put the millisec - tMS into tMSDiff repeat until tMSDiff >= pMS put the millisec - tMS into tMSDiff end repeat end waitFor Obviously, this causes the stack to hang and ...

I worked out an awesome little cheat where I only need 1 handler in LC that can deal with any message from JS: In Livecode have a handler like this to accept something from JS: on js_ReturnFromJS pCommand,p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8,p9 put pCommand && "p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8,p9" into tScript do tScript...

Not to worry, I worked it out::

From LC into the JS console window: From JS into the JS console window:

Hi all,

How do we output to the textbox console on the standard html5 output? I understand we may need to inject a bit of JS perhaps. Just for JS debugging.

Thanks

That's awesome, Perfect! Thanks, HH. This explains it very well. --: Were any of you able to test and determine if the browser widget usage of the 'javascriptHandlers' property is indeed broken? There is a bug report for Android non-function https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21284 but not...

go back to my original post and tell me what part of it was unreasonable or provocative in any way. If you wish to complain about what you get for your HTML5 license then write to LC support. Where did I say even once anything against what I paid for, or any other complaint, for that matter? It is h...

And why should I give statements about the ONLY ways to communicate with HTML5 standalones? Because, as I stated, I am trying to make it absolutely clear for everyone simply because of the lack of documentation and so that I can begin compiling a definitive set of instructions that can be included ...

I apologise if my tone came across as harsh. I was trying my best to show true appreciation, especially by my last sentence. Sorry :( I can't believe I am getting these personal attack on here again! I thought I was asking reasonable, straight forward questions. Instead of answers, I get questioned ...
