Browser within the editor page [message #459505]

Hello,

is it possible to have a browser window in the editor page (having HTML page loaded in the editor area -- as a new document)? And is it possible to override some links with my own code (which will load documents from these links on clicks)?

I think Eclipse IDE have similar things implemented.

Thanks

Hi,

You could use the Browser widget. However this just loads html. You can
execute javascript in it and change the html dom using scripts (using
the execute method). For examples see:

http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/#browser
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/nftopic/org.eclipse.platform. doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/browser/Browser.html

But what I think you are referring to are forms, these look like
browsers, but actually they just contain a small subset of html, but you
can create a very nice looking user friendly layout with it. Check the
following article for a detailed explainations.

Bye,
Wouter
