snitbrowser

A Snit based wrapper for the tkhtml library

DDG 13 Nov 2003 This is slightly longer as a oneliner but it is inspired by code on Simple Tkhtml web page displayer (thx). A Snit wrapper widget created as a one afternoon hack. It's named snitBrowser because the TclPlugin contains already a package named browser! May be it is long but as a result the widget is fully reuseable. So easy is Snit's Not Incr Tcl ....:

 #  Description A simple htmlwidget providing the methods
 #               load:  popups a dialog for local file selection
 #               browse: loads either a local file or a webpage
 #               back, forward, home, Refresh: just like a normal browser behaves
 #               popup : installs a popup with access to back, forward, home, refresh
 #  SYNOPSIS     
 #              pack [snitbrowser .browser] -side left -fill both -expand yes
 #              # WEB
 #             .browser browse "https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/2993"
 #             # LOCALFILES
 #             .browser load 
 #             # installing the popup
 #             .browser popup .popup
 #  Notes
 #
 #  History:  V0.1 13/11/03: First Release a three hours hack
 #            V0.2 14/11/03: Code Refactoring:
 #                           - Following William H. Duquette suggestions naming public methods
 #                             lowercase
 #                           - implementing public variables as options, like -showimages
 #                           - resorting loading of packages
 #                           - renaming LoadFile to the more appropiate 'browse' method
 #                           - removing lonly global var popupvar
 #            V0.3 02/20/12: Bugfixes and png image support:
 #                           - snit package load without version
 #                           - try to load png package (starkit at: https://bitbucket.org/mittelmark/tcl-code/downloads )
 #                           - variable BigImages and method_MoveBigImages introduced
 #                           - wiki example link fixed
 #
 #  Bugs:     - I would like to change some coderefs from self to mymethod as 
 #              suggested by William but this fails (try inside method home)

Where is MoveBigImage?

DDG: Was lost somewhere, have added it again and bumbed version to 0.3


male - 2003-11-18:

I've tried the source with ActiveTcl v8.4.4 on MS Windows 2000. If I click on a link, wish will crash with a read failure on address xyz.

Did somebody make the same experience?

Martin


Once the above code is verified as working, this seems like something that could be added to tklib. Of course, the extension won't do much without Tkhtml, right?


DDG I observe the same crash with ActiveTcl, however if using the correct cvs sources it works ok. So it seems to be a bug introduced by the ActiveTcl-version of tkhtml. Because this widget depends on tkhtml a c-library. It can't be included into tklib which hosts just tcl-only extensions.


2005-01-21 I've used the snitbrowser as a starting point for my browser-widget. It's written in [Incr]Tcl and can be downloaded at [L1 ]. MJL Thanks. This looks interesting. How do I use it?


RFox - 2010-11-15 12:56:06

The download link for the incrtcl version of the browser appears to be broken.
