revBrowser JS problems?

[trenatos]

I'm messing around with the revBrowser and it's pretty nice, but I've found a strange issue.

I tried loading a short url: http://cur.lv/5xc40 and it gives a blank page. (The url shows and ad and gives me a little bit of bitcoin)
The url works in my normal browser, unless I turn off JavaScript, in which case it just displays a blank page, and they both show the same source in that case.

From what I can tell, the page uses various forms of JavaScript redirects and forwards as well as iframes, but I don't understand why any of that would cause a problem with revBrowser.

Anyone have an idea, a way to fix it, or a pointer in the right direction?

I ran into a similar problem a few weeks back.

Basically, I was told that the java script capability of the browser control is a know problem, and not likely to be fixed any time soon.

Plus, when I was installing the Community edition, I read something to the effect that the Browser control was licensed from a 3rd party. Which means, even if the livecode development team had the time, they can't fix the problem.

I see, that truly is too bad, especially when there are a few (Free) kickass web render engines available out there.

If you know of, or hear of, any browser alternatives for for livecode, please do let us all know.

Wish I knew how to implement the Gecko engine (It's what powers firefox), free, crossplatform, and awesome, now if I only knew how to implement it.. :/

I don't even know how to make plugins/externals.

LiveCode 6.7 dp1 uses Chrome Embedded Framework, besides Internet Explorer:

This browser component allows to use a modern html5 browser within our stacks.

Test this new browser really quick:
Open the stack "Browser Sampler" from the folder "Examples" inside
the folder "Resources" of your LiveCode 6.7 (dp1) installation.

Open the substack "InetBrowser" of the stack "Browser Sampler".
In the card script of this substack, change:
revBrowserOpen
to:
revBrowserOpenCef

Save the substack and hilite
the checkbox Browser ON
