Hi Tanya,

when inside a WRT widget, you should use the widget.openURL() method to open links.

In WRT widget.openURL('url'); has the same behavior window.open.

Hi Tanya,

Unfortunately it seems not possible to manipulate the launched browser the way you wanted
from inside the widget. When the application has been started and the url opened, it is not
possible to get a handle to it. So, the url you opened stays open as far as the widget is
concerned.

Best Regards,

Hi

I tried with following way, but following code also do not work.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
		function widget_popup(el, opts){
			if (!el) {
				return true;
			}
			var target = '_blank';
			var url = "http://www.google.com/";
			
			if (!opts) {
				opts = '';
			}
			if (el.target !== '') {
				target = el.target;
			}
			newwindow = widget.openURL(url);			
			return true;
		}
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="return widget_popup(this);">Google</a><br/>	
<input type="button" value="Close" onClick="widget.newwindow.close()">

I have some questions about widget if you have any idea or snippets than please help me.
- Is it possible to open and close web URL?
- Is it possible to auto start and close widget in Symbian S60?
- Is it possible to send auto(bulK) click event to php server from mobile application?

I asked these questions because of If it's possible than I start to make application.

My project definition is that generate bulk click events on 3rd party's php server side from mobile application.

So currently I am sending http request to server for click event using "this.httpReq = new Ajax();".

Server side: this 3rd party PHP server receives two type of events "Good Click" and "Bad Click", how's that i don't know.
But If I click from desktop browser than generate "Bad Click".
and If I click from mobile browser than generate "Good Click".

I am sending http request for generate click events using timer method every 15 sec, I sends a http request.
Now Problem is that when I send http request from my widget application than getting result in following way
- Application start
- after 15 sec send request to server - result: generate GOOD click event.
- again after 15 sec send request to server - result: generate GOOD click event.
- again after 15 sec send request to server - result: generate BAD click event.
-continue this process - but generate BAD click event.
-Close Application.
- Again Application Start
- same result generated
- Close Application

If you have any idea to do this process or any other way possible to do this things please give me that concept or idea.

Thanking You
Tanya

Thank you in advance

Hi Tanya,

don't know if I've correctly understood your needs, but: if you need to send periodic/automatic HTTP requests to a remote server, you should check out the XMLHttpRequest object. This allows to send "hidden" HTTP requests, without opening a browser window (and so, without the need to programmatically close it).
