Re: browserDocumentLoadComplete working correctly?
Klaus, looked in the scenario you mention. (I didn't say to use messages of the browser widget ...) This is your scenario (correct me if not): You have several pages on one or more foreign servers. These pages have dynamically generated content you wish to access and extract parts to custom properties. We need a solution that you can adjust yourself without knowing JavaScript. As you need a browser widget, several more use the same widget code, so they are no additional burden in size. You could try the following: Use the javascriptHandler JS I told you with an additional parameter (identifying the page) in the card script. Load each page you need in a separate (invisible) browser widget, using a short wait for the LC callback with that javaScriptHandler. In the handler JS you can check ALL incoming pages for having the content you wish to read, also with a "send in time" loop (say 500 millisecs intervals) for a retry. Then you can even build and update your display page with a "waiting for " for the parts that are not yet ready. A problem with that method could be that the server doesn't allow too many multiple connections from the same IP. Then one has to do the method in pieces with an allowed number of connections. For more detailed questions contact me via email. This may be too special for the list, especially as you may be not allowed to publish too much details. ___ 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

Yes, I am already using your tricks, thanks again, but speed is important for my project, since I will need to load up to 20-30 (maybe more later) pages and extract hte data in a specific TABLE from the sourcecode. > There is only one "full" remedy I can see: An own JavaScript handler. > > One way to know exactly when you are done is to use an "async" > function in onload so that you can "await" that certain jobs are done > and then send a callback via a javascriptHandler to LC. That requires access to the html-file, right? Or can I "inject" something like that on-the-fly? If yes, how should it look like? Sorry, still a complete newbie in JavaScript...

Re: browserDocumentLoadComplete working correctly?
Yes, browserDocumentLoadComplete is working correctly and consistent with HTML5, no bug here. BrowserDocumentLoadComplete is fired as soon as the DOM is finished incl. *reading* your script tags. *After* that your javascript is *executed*. The server and browser/ browser widget don't check/care what you will execute in that page after loading the instructions. How should they know that? Nevertheless this is OK for short jobs, but if you are loading from a slow server or are loading large images and/or apply a time consuming javascript then you have to add some "waiting time", usually up to one second is long enough. There is only one "full" remedy I can see: An own JavaScript handler. One way to know exactly when you are done is to use an "async" function in onload so that you can "await" that certain jobs are done and then send a callback via a javascriptHandler to LC. ___ 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

OK, I see, maybe CURL, this is for a Mac app, can do this? If yes, how to call CURL: curl --url "url here..." will only return what "put url xxx into aVariable" does, show incomplete data.

Re: browserDocumentLoadComplete working correctly?
to me it seems like a nope. I would think that this is an issue with the browser widget not being able to detect when the page is completely "rendered" which is not the same as being completely "loaded". as soon as I noticed that this message does not work consistently, I gave up on using it ...so I did not further investigate the reasons for this.

browserDocumentLoadComplete working correctly?
Hi all, no idea if this is a bug or feature: When I use the message "browserDocumentLoadComplete" this does not work correctly when dealing with "dynamically created pages" (no idea if that is the correct term?). -> put url "http://www.whatever.com/anything; into aVariable does not work in these cases! I set a custom property to the sourcecode of a browser object with some tricks that Hermann generously told me ->on browserDocumentLoadComplete But when the message fires, the CP is EMPTY and I have to wait a little longer until the sourcecode is actually stored in that CP. My question: Is that correct behaviour of the "browserDocumentLoadComplete" message?
