Just experimented with things and found a way that works. There is probably a more direct way using do "script" in browser directly, but I haven't figured that out yet. In the interim..
I put this into the htmltext of a widget <html> <body> Hi! <script> function testit () { liveCode.myJSHandler("myMessage",12345); } </script> </body></html> It defines a function testit, that then defines an inline function using the liveCode object, handler named myJSHandler In my livecode script I have this command setHandlers set the javascriptHandlers of widget 1 to "myJSHandler" -- tells the widget that when the livecode.myJSHandler() function is able to execute the myJSHandler handler in lc end setHandlers command myJSHandler pMessage,pVar put pMessage & cr & pVar -- A simple example with returned data end myJSHandler To see it in action, I executed in the message box.. do "testit()" in widget 1 -- my only widget The function ran, called the livecode handler myJSHandler passing the 2 values in, and the livecode handler put them into the message box as expected. It should be possible to write a generic handler in lc to receive data, then add it to the javascripthandlerlist for that widget. You shouldn't even have to pre-define your javascript as part of your htmltext, you should be able to execute on the fly. do "liveCode.myJSHandler('this is a message',8*8)"in widget 1 Which will call the livecode myJSHandler from javascript in the widget after evaluating the 8*8 On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 6:51 AM, Jacques Hausser <jacques.haus...@unil.ch> wrote: > Sorry to come back with this question.
