[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Browser Javascript problems on SLES

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Richard,

This javascript works for me on SLED10.  Does the snippet below work for you
(it prints its status line to stdout, and runs your javascript whenever the
parent shell is resized)?  Also, the very first line(s) that are written to
stdout should indicate which xulrunner/firefox/mozilla/etc. is being
detected and used.  What is it for you?

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Device.DEBUG = true;
    Display display = new Display();
    Shell shell = new Shell(display);
    shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
    final Browser browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
    shell.open();
    shell.addListener(SWT.Resize, new Listener() {
        public void handleEvent(Event event) {

browser.execute("window.status=document.body.scrollWidth.toString()+\"x\"+do
cument.body.scrollHeight.toString()");
        }
    });
    browser.setUrl("http://www.google.com";);
    browser.addStatusTextListener(new StatusTextListener() {
        public void changed(StatusTextEvent event) {
            System.out.println("status received: " + event.text);
        }
    });
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
        if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
    }
    display.dispose();
}
