Web browser session additions

Hi,

I will file a feature request to add download support in our embedded Web Browser session.

As for the pop-ups, do you have an example of a website that does a pop-up that does not work in RDM? I know we support the JavaScript window.alert() and confirm() methods (since the version 2019.1.6.0). But, the web being what it is, it's unsurprising that we are missing something else.

As for adding the option of other browser than Safari, in embedded mode, this is far from trivial and would required the integration of third party library (that would probably be quite bulky). There is, so far, no plan to integrate alternative embedded browser in RDM. You can open website in your preferred browser by opening them externally though.

Best regards,

Hi Xavier,

The popups are usually popup HTML windows which show a different site or page of the site, rather than those generated via javascript. Only example I have of this is an internal application.
Unfortunately we're not able to use the external option with secure gateways.

Best,
Ryan

Sorry Ryan, my brain did not make the connection 😅. You are right, Secure Gateway will not work with external browser.

As for the pop up, I've made a small test web page.



Is this the kind of pop up you mean (i.e. a small browser window without a tab bar)?

Best regards,

Hi Xavier,
No worries, i forgot to mention that on the initial request.

Yes, that's exactly what we're looking for!

Alright. It's most likely possible to implement in some way. I'm just not sure about displaying it in it's own window though. RDM Windows appears to be opening it in another tab, would you be fine with this?

Yes a tab would be more than fine.

Many thanks,
Ryan

Perfect!

I will file the feature request.

Best regards,

Hi Ryan,

The support for the JavaScript methods window.open and window.showModalDialog has been added in RDM and RDM Free 2020.3.1.0 (which just released). We've opted to show in new windows finally, it was the only way to support the modal session (for the second method).

Please, do tell me if it works properly for you.

Best regards,

Hi again,

A bit of an oversight on my side, the supports for downloads in embedded Web Browser session has also been added in the 2020.3.1.0 version.

Best regards,
