Hi All,

I'm trying to display some HTML in an IE object. I am able to successfully display google.com in the control but not some local html from a variable. Code below. Is this possible?

CODE
;Define

$oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")

GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 1, 1, 500, 500)

;This works

$oIE.navigate("http://www.google.com")

;This does not work (page can not be displayed)

$html = "<html><head></head><body><b>test</b></body></html>"

$oIE.navigate($html)

AFAIK, the parameter must be a document/link not HTML code. Save the file first and link it.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there a way to display HTML code from a variable in Autoit without using an external html file?

here the code from the help file that I modified to get it to work.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

_IEErrorHandlerRegister ()

$sHTML = "<h1>Hello World!</h1>"

$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded ()
GUICreate("Embedded Web control Test", 640, 580, _
        (@DesktopWidth - 640) / 2, (@DesktopHeight - 580) / 2, _
        $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 40, 600, 360)
$GUI_Button_Back = GUICtrlCreateButton("Back", 10, 420, 100, 30)
$GUI_Button_Forward = GUICtrlCreateButton("Forward", 120, 420, 100, 30)
$GUI_Button_Home = GUICtrlCreateButton("Home", 230, 420, 100, 30)
$GUI_Button_Stop = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 340, 420, 100, 30)

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Thanks HeidiR, I needed to not use IE.au3 because it wouldn't get past the obfuscator. Then I saw your post and saw I didn't even need it.

Mostly, I just want to have some nice html displayed instead of extended labels to explain how to do something. So I wrote an html file that goes along with the script. It could be a local file or a web page, but here's how I made it work for me:

#include 
$HTML = "http://google.com"

GUICreate("Test html", 400, 410)

;Create frame for html to show
Local $oIE = ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")
GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 10, 380, 280)
$oIE.navigate($HTML)
;End create frame for html to show

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd
