Browser widget debugging?

Post by udlc » Thu Mar 25, 2021 9:22 pm

Hi all,

is there a way to debug the behaviour of my web page within a LC browser widget?

My web app works fine running standalone in Chrome and other browsers on Win 10 and also iPad and Android.
I'm using jQuery and Bootstrap and I manipulate the DOM.
Below other things I do I set the value of form input fields.
Within the LC Browser Widget the page almost works fine too but changing the value of an input field via Javascript does not work at all.

So is there a simple way to debug the behaviour of my web app within the LC browser widget?
I need something like the well known dev tools from the browser.
Better than nothing would be if I could read everything which my web app writes to the browser console log.

I've just realized that CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) ist Version 74 0 3729 157 whereas my recent Chrome is version 89 0 4389 90 8 (sorry for the strange numbers but I can't write the version number containing dots - strange forum software).
So perhaps the browser widget is much to old and not maintained?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Uwe
