0 James Rose Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The WebBrowser control *IS* IE, so it should load javascript. What makes you think it does not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kami- Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just tested it; appears to support JavaScript. Perhaps ensure your local copy of IE allows JavaScript also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply driving into a mechanics lot and saying; "There is a problem with my car" is not enough. Development work is about the TINY TINY details. Often it is best to give a sample of your code so others can reproduce the issue or see where you are making a mistake. psreloaded and El Marto 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kami- Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 its not working on the proggie i made Right... we've established this from your first post; did you load up IE and check the settings in there to ensure it has JavaScript enabled in there as suggested? Also try helping us to help you; put up some code samples so we can 'jump into' the code and locate any possible issues there? We can really only help you if you're willing to help yourself, otherwise it's just us flogging the dead donkey while you play with yourself in the corner.

0 XerXis Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 probably because you are using a local file. The standard security settings of IE disable javascript/activeX on local files. It could be that the webbrowser control does this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It?s simple to turn back on (or even toggle) using the IsScriptEnabled property of the control. Here?s two quick examples: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Dick Montage Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 And this is exactly why I said learn ABOUT programming, learn on smaller "hello world" projects and break things down rather than jump into a large project just using a drag-and-drop interface.

0 Dick Montage Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Doesnt its for C# Dude offers you help. If you knew the first thing about the language you are "programming" (drag/dropping) in, you'd know C# and VB.net are easily substituted. PLEASE I urge you to try and understand basic programming more before you write bad code into your app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 XerXis Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 But I just realised you are probably making a desktop application. In that case the javascript is enabled by default and you don't have that property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only code there is webbrowser1.navigate "wherever.com" so I figured you guys knew that x Here's another good point; In development NEVER (ever ever ever ever!) assume ANYTHING! (I'm not yelling at you, I am highlighting my point) It can be frustrating, but even a minor item can have a big effect. Development is about being very explicit.

0 togerland Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Make a simple browser1 and command button and try going to pogo.com there will be tons of scripting errors because that control wont load javascript Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Slugsie Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 So, I started up VS2010. Created a new VB WinForm project. Dropped a WebBrowser control onto the form. Added the following line of code into the FormLoad event WebBrowser1.Navigate("pogo.com")[/CODE] Started it up and within moments I was playing Zuma. Looks fine to me, and that is literally all I did. I also changed the URL to: [CODE]WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://info.uwe.ac.uk/online/blackboard/technical/test.asp")[/CODE] (first working result from a Google search for 'test if javascript is enabled') Which shows that, for me anyway, Javascript is enabled. So your initial premise is wrong. Now we need to figure out where your problem lies, for that we will need lots of info, and maybe a sample project.

0 XerXis Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Make a simple browser1 and command button and try going to pogo.com there will be tons of scripting errors because that control wont load javascript Yes it does, so it must be something with your IE settings (which the browser control is using). The problem is on your side, with the limited information you are giving it will be hard to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 togerland Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 IT works fine when I open up an IE browser.... COuld it because I am using .net 2005? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Deviltje633 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Maybe I am an idiot (too), but I have a similar problem. I created a simple program (to test). A standard Form with a WebBrowser and a Button on it. It does nothing more than open a page in the WebBrowser with a Internet based Radio player. If I open the page in my IExplorer, it works fine (it plays music), but if I run the program from Visual Studio... No player, no music.. Al the items on the page load fine, but not the music player. Any ideas guys? Some more info: Computer is 64bit Windows 8.1 (also tried it on a Win7 64bit) Debugger is Visual Studio 13 Ultimate (which I have switched from 'AnyPc' to 'x86') And the code for the button is: Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click WebBrowser1.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = True WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.radioviainternet.be/q-music.php") End Sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mr. Black Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Here's an idea to check and see if it's IE or VB. Add the website to the Trusted Zone, set the zone to Low and see if it works. and for S&G Make sure your Java is up to date (yes I know JS and Java are different) If that doesn't work try resetting IE to defaults.

0 Mr. Black Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 SOLUTION I actually ran into this the first time yesterday - the Webbrower control works properly. Here's the issue: For some reason, VB runs the control in IE7 compatibility mode. See here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18668557/javascript-error-when-using-webbrowser-control-and-https-yet-it-works-in-ie It all has to do with Permissions Microsoft added in IE7. Yes, you can view standard webpages and such, but as soon as it tries to run JS or anything else it tends to hit a wall because of the Permissions Microsoft added. This was actually a big problem back when IE7 came out - addins for IE wouldn't work anymore, some programs that relied on IE for certain things didn't work anymore either, and the solution is the same as the one I am posting, although it was done by hand in the registry by the user for whatever app they had installed. I followed a page about the issue to some code which fixes the issue here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18333459/c-sharp-webbrowser-ajax-call/18333982#18333982 The code is in C#, but I converted it for VB.net (and have posted it at the end of this explanation). Once I implemented this code and checked real quick, everything was fixed. Just a FYI. The code adds your EXE to the compatibility database and forces allowing JS and everything else. #Region "IE Fix" Private Shared Sub SetBrowserFeatureControlKey(feature As String, appName As String, value As UInteger) If Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem Then Using key = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey([String].Concat("Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\", feature), RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree) key.SetValue(appName, DirectCast(value, UInt32), RegistryValueKind.DWord) End Using End If Using key = Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey([String].Concat("Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\", feature), RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree) key.SetValue(appName, DirectCast(value, UInt32), RegistryValueKind.DWord) End Using End Sub Private Sub SetBrowserFeatureControl() ' http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee330720(v=vs.85).aspx ' FeatureControl settings are per-process Dim fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName) ' make the control is not running inside Visual Studio Designer If [String].Compare(fileName, "devenv.exe", True) = 0 OrElse [String].Compare(fileName, "XDesProc.exe", True) = 0 Then Return End If SetBrowserFeatureControlKey("FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", fileName, GetBrowserEmulationMode()) ' Webpages containing standards-based !DOCTYPE directives are displayed in IE10 Standards mode.

0 nemsys Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Finally figured this out. After searching and reading articles for weeks, finally got a vb.net webbrowswer1 object to open a java web page on a windows form! Create a windows form Add a webbrower object Add this to the code behind the form. Now your URL with the java should open up just fine! Public Class Form1 Sub New() ' This call is required by the designer. InitializeComponent() ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call. WebBrowser1.ObjectForScripting = True WebBrowser1.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = True End Sub End Class -LabTechDrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
