How does it work: HTTP plugin

Classic Servoy
1

Hi, I thought it would be nice to display a website within my solution, so I followed the instructions I could find in Servoy and came up with this:

var pageData = plugins.http.getPageData(‘http://localhost:8080’);
globals.CustomWebSite = ‘’+pageData+‘’

The global field is of type HTML.

Now, the problem is that the website is not realy neatly displayed. All the graphical stuff is screwed up. Is there something wrong, should I take another approach?

Also, it seems to me you cannot use this as a sort of webbrowers, since all the links don’t work. Or, again, am I doing something wrong?

Any help appreciated!

No it is not meant to be a complete internet browser. Just for simple html displays (and edit)

if you want to show websites through servoy the only real way currently is to use application.showUrl (that will show it in a browser)
