Problem
webView is undefined in load event handler for WebView instance
Test case
create a window
add webview to this window and tell this webview to use a local html file
add a load event handler to this webview
in this event handler, examine the webview.html or even the html within the source of the event object
local file has a link to a remote file; which when clicked does get loaded *BUT still no data in webview.html*
BTW: For sake of simplicity, i used an html page that i normally use for no connection and simply added a w3c link to it; in fact, network connection etc. are fine.
Ti.UI.setBackgroundColor('#000');
var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
title:'HTML Test',
backgroundColor:'#fff'
});
var localUrl = 'noconn.html';
var webView = Ti.UI.createWebView({url:localUrl})
webView.addEventListener('load', onLoad);
function onLoad(evt) {
if (webView.url.search(localUrl) >= 0) {
Ti.API.info('LOCAL: +++++++++++++++++++++++++');
Ti.API.info(evt.source.html);
Ti.API.info('LOCAL: +++++++++++++++++++++++++');
Ti.API.info(webView.html);
}
else {
Ti.API.info(" !! NOT local html file -- " + webView.url);
Ti.API.info('REMOTE: +++++++++++++++++++++++++');
Ti.API.info(evt.source.html);
Ti.API.info('REMOTE: +++++++++++++++++++++++++');
Ti.API.info(webView.html);
}
}
win1.add(webView);
win1.open();
