Javascript not running in webbrowser component

Question

Hi

I have been using simple C# application (.NET 2.0) for years in CE5 and CE6.
It has a form with web browser control and works fine.

Now I am upgrading to Compact 7 and there is a strange problem.
Page from 127.0.0.1 is loaded but javascript code in page is not executed at all.
Same page works fine when I open it with iesample.exe.
I have also created new version with .NET 3.5 but no help.
Name of my application is iexplorer.exe. (tried other names also)

Any idea how to fix this?

Answer 1

Looks like no one else has seen this problem.
Reason for using own "browser" instead if iesample.exe is to remove toolbars.

I solved this problem by editing iesample so that it does not show toolbars.

Answer 2

I'm in need of a solution to this as well, just needing to get rid of the toolbars.  How hard was editing the IESample project?

Answer 3

It's not very hard, but you should really copy it to a project folder or to your platform folder, rather than editing the main Microsoft version. If a QFE comes along later, it will overwrite your changes and strange things will result.

IESAMPLE is an ordinary application project that uses an ActiveX browser control. If you create a Visual Studio stand-alone Smart Device application project and add the IESAMPLE source files (and make sure you match the compiler settings from SOURCES), you should be able to get a working application in a couple of hours. You might also search for hints in previous messages in this forum.

I have the same problem reported by Jari Aalto, javascript code is not executed inside WebBrowser Control on WEC7, instead on WinCE 5 all worked fine inside the WebBrowser Control and from iesample.exe.

It's very frustrating that WEC7 has changed behaviour, or it's a bug?

Someone can help us, because I can't resolve the problem cloning the iesampe because the WebBrowser can control navigation and made custom action inside a program.

Many Thanks

Hi Stefano,

exact the same problem here. I also have to use the webbrowser control because custom action inside a program.

Could you solve your problem? And if yes how?
Is there anyone what have an idea how to fix this?

Thx in advance
Peter
