LiveCode Forums.

Fairly new to LiveCode. Just need to know how I display a web page in a scrolling field (for a desktop app).
For example:
Click a button, its script grabs a URL from a field named "URL", does whatever magic to it (this is the part I don't know)
and TADAH! The website of the URL appears in a large scrolling field (or something like that) on that page.

I was alive during the early days of HyperCard (LiveCode's great-grandfather) and programmed lots of cool stuff with it like fractal generators and business databases. So, just get me started and off I'll go!

Thanks!

Hi,

Read everything about revBrowser in the dictionary. It'll do what you want.

Kind regards,

Yikes... webpromo.us... with a name like that I'm surprised you're not spam.
Are you?

At any rate I was thinking the request was for a newsbanner type of web page reader. Take everything between <p>...</p> (or whatever tags) and stream it into a 1 line field.
That would be kind of fun.

If this is the case then just say.

Simon

Thanks Mark & Simon!
I'll explore revBrowser with enthusiasm!

Simon, entrepreneurs are trained to never go anywhere without having business cards in their pocket to give out if someone asks. Think of my username as just that. [See also Mark's signature]
