Hi,

according to Snippet 128, the Location (URL) of the browser webpage is
written into the Text field
inside the LocationListener like this:

browser.addLocationListener(new LocationListener() {
public void changed(LocationEvent event) {
if (event.top) location.setText(event.location);
}
});

But using the LocationListener has the disadvantage that the URL is only
set after the entire page
has been loaded, and not after a link has been clicked.

Is there any reason why one should not set the Location with using the
ProgressListener, like:

browser.addProgressListener(new ProgressListener() {
public void changed(ProgressEvent event) {
location.setText(((Browser) event.widget).getUrl());
}
});

?

This allows to have the URL show inside the location Text field as soon
as a link is clicked.

Ben
