I am running a local MAMP server on a macbook for html pages. These pages work OK on Chrome and Safari. I can't seem to read these pages from the browser widget in LC ?

What is the syntax to read from local server ?

Sorry, I tried to put an example of what I tried but I get this error when I include my syntax in this message >>> Your account does not have permission to post links or domain/page references.

The browser widget does work when I set the URL to Google -- so I know it works.

thanks for any help,

I got it to work using 127.0.0.1 as IP instead of localhost or IP of computer !

Now I just need to get it to fit properly in the browser window... The html is made for television (1920x1080px) but I wan't to display it in a small browser window in my app. I'll create a new topic....

Use localhost with the port number:

Code: Select all

set the URL of widget "browser" to "http://localhost:8888"

This is the default setting for MAMP (Mac). You can change the port number 8888 in MAMP's prefs to another one.
