Hi Frederic,
Well, that's easy.
I love LiveCode
Code: Select all
on browserFinishedLoading pUrl
answer url(pUrl)
-- or
put url(pUrl) into url("file:" & specialFolderPath("cache") & "/theSourceCode.txt")
end browserFinishedLoading
Hope it helps...
Best,

Hi Frederic,
Put this into your button's script:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "http://www.example.com/" into tUrl
answer url(tUrl)
-- or
put url(tUrl) into url("file:" & specialFolderPath("cache") & "/theSourceCode.txt")
end mouseUp

This one's better:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put mobileControlGet("myNativeBrowser", "url") into tUrl
answer url(tUrl)
-- or
put url(tUrl) into url("file:" & specialFolderPath("cache") & "/theSourceCode.txt")
end mouseUp
Replace
myNativeBrowser with the name of your browser control

Look at my second post...
{ put mobileControlGet("myNativeBrowser", "url") into tUrl }
If this doesn't work for you then I didn't understand what you actually mean, sorry...

thanks a lot for your help , i am sorry about my poor english
in fact the content is in javascript and ajax i guess
so content is dynamic inside the page
if i get the sources code i don't see the dynamic content in fact.
idea: is it possible to do a copy - paste inside a native browser ?

There may be some workarounds.
Could you post the link whose content you're trying to retrieve?
I could give a try, then.

Hi Frederic,
Well, I'm sorry to request the link;
I didn't realize that it may be a special web service.
I thought that it's a generic webpage
I managed to get the content
and although the code of that web service is obfuscated, the data can be processed.
Since the subject is no longer directly related to iOS, we should continue this discussion off-list.
Please contact me at
endernafi@gmail.com, I'll try to help - if I can
-
If we could generate an over-all solution, we'll post it here.
Best,
