Hello,

Is there any possibility to display HTML content in AX HTML control from external source (URL)

HTML control has method url. But it opens separate Internet Explorer window.

I even tried to setText on HTML control including JavaScript to change document location:

document.location.href="http://microsoft.com/";

But it also opens new window of Internet Explorer

Iframe tag also does not work. However img tag can be displayed correctly.

RE: HTML control and setting external URL

Sure. I know about this ActiveX component.

But it does not provide such HTML content control as HTML control does. I need to call JavaScript methods from AX and receive some content from the web. In simple words I need to interact with web page in the control. With HTML control it's possible as there are a bunch of methods. ActiveX WebBrowser does not have such methods to interact with web page. At least I do not have a clue right now how for example call JavaScript method from AX and partly receive HTML content.

It seems to be some security restrictions that does not allow to navigate to external URL for HTML control. As basically I think internet explorer engine is same for both controls. Is it possible to tune this permissions and allow access for some domain.

Browser = WebBrowser.control();

Browser .Navigate(url);
