We are using the "org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser" widget to display information data in RAP application as a replacement of the StyledText widget.
This will be done by the setText() function and the text given is HTML formatted. Now we would like to support hyperlinks. I.e. we would like to handle events if a hyperlink of the HTML text is selected.
The following code snippet works quite well in a RCP environment, but as a RAP application , the "LocationEvent" get not fired when a hyperlink is selected.
Any idea how this can be achieved? Any feedback is highly welcome Smile

Browser browser = new Browser(parent, SWT.NONE);
browser.addLocationListener(new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void changing(LocationEvent event) {
System.out.println("Event changing to "+ event.location);
}

@Override
public void changed(LocationEvent event) {
System.out.println("Event changed to "+ event.location);
}
});
browser.setText("<a href='http://www.google.co.uk'>Google</a>");

From looking at the code, it looks like those evens are only triggered when you call setText or setUrl

That's right, against the documentation in the source code, the event is not triggered by a hyperlink Sad
But I found a working solution with JavaScript and callback function:

.....
Browser browser = new Browser(parent, SWT.NONE);
String s ="My name is " + translate2Script("Tim Oswald", "myfunction") + " and I say " + translate2Script("hello", "myfunction");
browser.setText(s);
new BrowserFunction(browser, "myfunction") { //$NON-NLS-1$
@Override
public Object function(Object[] arguments) {
System.out.println("Ret: " + Arrays.toString((Object[]) arguments[0]));
Object[] theArgs = (Object[]) arguments[0];
for(Object s : theArgs)
try {
System.out.println("Return value is:" + URLDecoder.decode(s.toString(), "UTF-8"));
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
};
};
browser.pack();
......
private String translate2Script(String text, String functionName)
{
//<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"myfunction(['hello']);return false;\"><label style=\"cursor:pointer\">Hello</label></a>
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append("<a href=\"#\" onclick=" + functionName);
sb.append("([\"");
try {
sb.append(URLEncoder.encode(text, "UTF-8").replace( "+", "%20" ));
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
sb.append("\"]);return false;\"><label style=\"cursor:pointer\">");
sb.append(text);
sb.append("</label></a>");
return sb.toString();
}
