You have to instantiate it using a script. See the dictionary entry on revBrowserOpenCef. There is a script example there on how to create a browser instance.

The only thing that causes productivity loss for me is LiveCode's lack of feature parity. :( -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Displaying Web Pages in a Field
Gregory: Search for “browser” in the documents API, that you can find under the “Help” menu when in livecode IDE. It’s amazingly easy to set this up and you have a field that will render your web page the same as your browser (hopefully). I have used it to play YouTube movies, in addition to simple text based html. The only thing is that it’s a bit more tricky to get info transferred between the web field and livecode, but it’s do-able.

Re: Displaying Web Pages in a Field
Well, he did say he wanted the text files to look “something like they do in a browser”. That’s an easy way to at least be able to easily read the html text in a field. But you’re right, it’s not ideal for high-quality display.
