how to load a local file into the browser widget?

[Curt Ford via use-livecode]

Thanks, hh, that does it! :)

*answer*file"Choose an html file"

*put*urlEncode(textEncode(it, "UTF-8")) intotPathWithCyrillic

*set*theurlofwidget"Browser"totPathWithCyrillic


Occasional accents & punctuation in the file names are not causing 
problems either (so far). But then the spaces..


*replace*" "with"%20"intPathWithCyrillic

didn't work since the urlEncode was inserting "+" where it found a space.

So replacing "+" with "%20" fixes that. Final version:

*answer*file"Choose an html file"

*put*urlEncode(textEncode(it, "UTF-8")) intotPathWithCyrillic

*replace*"+"with"%20"intPathWithCyrillic

*set*theurlofwidget"Browser"totPathWithCyrillic

Thanks everyone!

Curt



You could try to use (for example):

urlEncode(textEncode("брать","UTF-8"))

Our experience with LC90x has been that Unicode DOES just work with 
filename, for 'open file , there is a file , put URL 
 into , and most other file related commands and functions. 
HOWEVER, I would never claim we've tested every LC file related 
command and function. We've done with with Russian text and Chinese 
(simplified and traditional) in both paths and file names.


Just another data point.


That was supposed to say: Just another data point, although we've never 
tested with a Browser Widget.

Thanks Klaus, those are great tips!

While I'm at it... some of the folders in the file path will be in 
Russian, which is breaking my current handler. Is there a way to run 
them through some unicode-type function to make them work in a file path?


I can run those items of the file path through a quick transliteration 
function to change брать into brat' etc., but thought it's worth checking...

[Curt Ford via use-livecode]

Ah, thanks, Tore, that was it! Using two slashes in the handler

*put*"file://"& thedefaultFolder& slash& "Future.html"intotFile

produced the filePath with three slashes,

file:///Users/cford/Desktop/BrowserTryout/Future.html

which is now working fine. :)

it is TWO slashes actually -> file://
The third slash is from the actual filename -> 
/Users/cford/Desktop/Browsertryout.app/Contents/MacOS/Future.html

But why on earth are you always messing around with the DEFAULTFOLDER when we 
these lovely specialfolderpath() functions? 8-)
Do like this:
1. Add your files (hmtl, images, videos, sounds or whatever) to your standalone 
via the "Standalone Application Settings" -> "Copy files"
2. Then you will find them in your standalone in -> 
specialfolderpath("resources") on ANY platform
You can also use -> specialfolderpath("resources") in the IDE, where it points 
to the folder containing the executing stack.
Keep all your files (and folders) in that folder and with that and 1. above you 
do not need to script something different
for the IDE and standalone on ANY platform!
3. Do this to display the html file in a browser widget:
...
put specialfolderpath("resources") & "/Future.html" into tFile
## Important, if the pathname contains spaces:
replace " " with "%20" in tFile
set the url of widget "el browsero" to tFile
...

Hint:
Be aware that iOS and Android are case-sensitive operating systems: Future.html 
<> future.html
So it may be a good idea to name all of your files with lowercase and your are 
on the safe side.

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

Try to start the url with «file:/// « this is what I get at the start 
of the url of a browser widget when i set the url from a script using «answer 
file» to navigate to any valid html file:

on mouseUp

answer file "Choose html file to display"

set url of widget "browser" to it

end mouseUp

[Curt Ford via use-livecode]

You must make sure that the filePath to the html file you would like to see 
does not contain any invalid characters like spaces, which you will find is OK 
by the file system but not with the browser.

I had wondered about this; I renamed the file to "Browsertryout" and moved it to the 
desktop (so there were no spaces in the filePath, which is now 
"file://Users/cford/Desktop/Browsertryout.app/Contents/MacOS/Future.html"), but I'm still 
getting the same result (a blank widget).

You must make sure that the filePath to the html file you would like to see 
does not contain any invalid characters like spaces, which you will find is OK 
by the file system but not with the browser.

how to load a local file into the browser widget?

[Curt Ford via use-livecode]

Is there a trick to getting a local html file to display in the browser 
widget? I'm using this in a test button (in 9.0.4, on a Mac):


*on*mouseUp

*# set the defaultFolder to the folder containing the stackfile*

*set*theitemDelimitertoslash*
get*theeffectivefilenameofthisstack*
set*thedefaultFoldertoitem1to-2 ofit*
answer*"defaultFolder is"&& thedefaultFolder

*if* thereisafile"Future.html"*then**
answer*"OK, it's there"*
else**
answer*"not found!"*
end* *if*

*put*"file:/"& thedefaultFolder& slash& "Future.html"intotFile*
set*theURLofwidget"Browser"totFile*
answer*"the URL is"&& theURLofwidget"Browser"

*end*mouseUp

The .html file is in the same folder with the stack file, and in the 
standalone I've copied it into the bundle & the stack seems to find it, 
but nothing displays in the widget, both in IDE and the standalone. 
Loading a remote location works fine with


*put*"https://nytimes.com"intotFile

*set*theURLofwidget"Browser"totFile

Is there something else to keep in mind when displaying a local file?

Curt
