web browser widget on M4 Sonoma not working for local files

The web browser widget in my application works fine on a M1 running Sonoma 15.3.1, however the same program on an M4 running 15.3.1 will not display a .pdf file located on my local computer. It does not work in the stand alone or the development environment. Has anyone had this experience? using LC ...

Printing from a Web deployed app

Can anyone give me a hint at what is involved to print a PDF from a LC Web deployed app? The documentation really doesn't say anything about this, at least that I can decipher. I'm thinking that some other language must be used to get to the printer in the client's OS. Any help would be appreciated ...

Re: Need to do a browser "empty cache", is it possible?

I know it was quite awhile ago for this question, but I finally found an ANSWER!!! I inserted the following line into the "opencard" function: set the httpHeaders to "Cache-Control: max-age=0" This solved all the issues that I was having when making multiple changes to a particular field/image/widge...

Re: Does anyone know of a Scrollbar widget suitable for us with HTML5?

Bernd, Thank you very much. I have not been programming for the last year. I just saw the items on the summer bundle. I’ll look at the file you were most kind to include. The main problem was with the large group scrollbar not having a visible “thumb”. I started to build my own slider and I noticed ...

Re: Does anyone know of a Scrollbar widget suitable for us with HTML5?

Really, anyting is better than the two little arrows control. Maybe a line with a circle that would mimic the thumbposition?

here what it looks like now in the attachement.

Does anyone know of a Scrollbar widget suitable for us with HTML5?

I have been disappointed about the "look" of the web deployed scrollbar control. Does anyone know if there is a widget for this control, or is there some underlying reason that it hasn't been done yet? I haven't yet attempted to make a widget, but I would really like to have something that doesn't l...

HTML5 and remote debugger

Is there any way to use the remote debugger on an app that is hosted on a remote server?

It seems like I was able to use it before, but I may be mis-remembering.

Thanks for any information.

Re: Copy a card from one stack into a different stack

I found my error. If a stack is password protected and locked it won't allow a card to copied out of it. Duh, that makes sense! It would be nice if there was a note in the Dictionary that reminds us of that, or an error on the copy operation that warns that a password protected stack will not allow ...

Copy a card from one stack into a different stack

I know the dictionary says to "copy this card to stack "whatever""", but I can not get that to work. I also tried using the card ID and the Stack ID along with other explicit naming of the card and the target stack. I tried using the project manager to move it, but no joy. I went back to LC8 trying ...

Re: Is there anyway to determine the OS of the device running a web deployment ?

First of all, thanks to everyone that has joined this tread. It has been most helpful. Here are some of the things I have learned about the current implementation of Livecode html5 (10.0.0 dp4) while running on Android devices(at least the ones I have access to.) 1. The normal LC field does not work...

Re: Is there anyway to determine the OS of the device running a web deployment ?

Thank you bobcole for giving my problem some thought and effort, I really appreciate it. Sooner or later others will need the strategy that you used to get the information.

Re: Is there anyway to determine the OS of the device running a web deployment ?

It works on Chrome on Win10 and macOS. But not on any Android device that it has been tested on(3 Samsung phones, 2 Samsung tables, and a Pixel phone.) I’ll try Firefox. After I posted the question on the Android Native Field, I realized that it really was not a possibility that that would work. Onc...

Is there anyway to determine the OS of the device running a web deployment ?

I have converted a desktop app to a web app. I'm ecstatic about the results. It runs very well on Win, MacOS, iPhone, iPad, Linux and with all the browsers that I could find. But it doesn't run on Android's browsers. I say it doesn't run, that is not accurate. I have a login stack that accepts user ...
