It is a full Web browser that can handle Javascript.
The enhanced Web browser JAR comes from the JDIC sourceforge project.
The implementation class of the Bean Item

The methods you can call
- Get the Forms Window
Set_Custom_Property( 'BL.BEAN', 1, 'INFOBEAN', '' ) ;
This mathod is used to retrieve the Forms window that handles the webBrowser, then synchronize its position when the windows is moved.
This must be the first property set (in the When-New-Form-Instance trigger).
SET_HTML_CONTENT
SET_JAVASCRIPT
- Set the URL/File
Set_Custom_Property( 'BL.BEAN', 1, 'SET_URL', 'url | file_name' ) ;
e.g. :
Set_Custom_Property('BL.BEAN', 1, 'SET_URL', 'http://www.developpez.com/' ) ;
Set_Custom_Property('BL.BEAN', 1, 'SET_URL', 'd:/mypage.htm' ) ;
- Set the border of the bean
Set_Custom_Property( 'BL.BEAN', 1, 'SET_BORDER', 'true | false' ) ;
When you want to use this bean to display a Flash image (*.swf), you would probably prefer not to have any border bounding the image.
In this case, set the border to false.
- Basic navigation
Set_Custom_Property( 'BL.BEAN', 1, 'SET_NAVIGATION', 'back | forward | refresh' ) ;
