Hi all,
I finally installed all the eVC tools and HPC2000 SDK. Found that there is a sample app using the htmlview.dll for html page browsing. I'm going to modify it to do simple web browsing as the sample only takes a local file for input.
What I want to make sure is that I am not reinventing the wheel. Is there a slightly more sophiscated control than htmlview.dll freely available already?
I am going to use InternetConnect etc apis to query websites and get back their html data and spit that to htmlview.dll Once I get that working, I will write a simple parser
(when are parsers simple???
) to preprocess the html code and include the references to myjavascript.js ... will that work?
I found that currently, standard hotmail actually fails on links pointing to javascripts that calls a G
(...
) function. I reckon that it is inside one of the dynamic .js files generated by hotmail.
(Why must they make things sooo complicated!!
)
If I just cut and paste the URL link from the G
(...
) function and append it to the current URL ... eg ...
Original URL:
http://by101fd.bay101.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/HoTMaiL?curmbox=00000000...769d68
link that is not working in HPC2k
<a href="javascript:G
('/cgi-bin/getmsg?msg=......msgread=1&imgsafe=y'
" ... >
modified link:
<a href="/cgi-bin/getmsg?msg=......msgread=1&imgsafe=y" ... >
I could do the above or I could include the actual .js files so that the G
(...
) function would work and links in Hotmail would work fine in HPC2000 ...
I did some simple testing today and before I start full swing tomorrow, any comments and feasibility views?
And naturally, when I get to alpha, I'll put it up here so that any of you folks willing, can help to test..
and it will be FREEWARE ...
a temporary patch for PIE before something really good comes along
