Re: How do I get the current URL of the page loaded in the browser widget

Hi Bob, needed to enter the URL in the widget's property inspector for it to register (go figure?) However on the site I am interested in no change in the reported URL. I looked at the script and noticed you are expecting a "browserDocumentLoadComplete" message (as did I), however the site I am on d...

Re: How do I get the current URL of the page loaded in the browser widget

Thanks Bob for the thought. Interestingly using your handler only returned "false"!!! Removing the "and return" gave me a URL. Unfortunatley this URL did not change when I changed pages in the widget. Bizarrely nothing I did changed it. It was correct for the site, as tested in an actual browser but...

Re: Help with touchmove

OK Got it working. I realised that as I only wanted to act at the end of the swipe putting my decision tree in the TouchMove handler would be confusing, given that it continues to be called during the swipe. So I placed it in the TouchEnd where I want the action triggered. local sLastX,sLastY, sTouc...

Re: How to debug writing or reading a file

So, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand has done.
In updating the app I decided to change the names of the pref file from what had had previously used.
Unfortunately I missed an occurrence.
Sorry :oops:

Re: How to debug writing or reading a file

When I open the app, the first thing it does is check for the presence of a pref file.
if it doesn't exist it creates one.
Well it creates the folder and then the file.
This works.
There is indeed a pref file.

Well removed “/“, thanks @klaus.

Re: Navbar widget only responds to labels being touched

Sorry.
It was a layering error on my part.
I had a text field that covered the icons.
On updating the app I musts have reversed the layering from my previous version.
Interestingly running the app in the IDE did not show this.
