Web page scrolling

Postby GrantG on Wed Jul 12, 2006 7:42 pm

Hmm...am I missing something obvious here?

I want to have a web browser displayed, and be able to scroll down the page if it is too long to fit the window.

Everything should be remote controllable, so I was hoping there was an event like "page up" or "page down".

Is there a way to do this (without resorting to mouse clicking on the embedded up/down arrows) ?

Well, yes... I wanted to write about this, but something else always pops up and I kept forgetting...

Prior to chenge in how browser was handled in XLobby (a month ago?), we were able to scroll web pages up-down with cursor up-down arrows (assigned to remote control, worked beautifully). Now it doesn't seem to work anymore...

Even left-right scroll worked if the page was wider than the screen (even though with this, if you had buttons on screen, it would scroll and navigate buttons at the same time, but what the hell).

We should ask Steven for a solution/fix... ?

Actually, I managed to figure out a solution, although it requires Girder.

I created a Girder event which sends a keyboard "Page Down" to the web window (the exact target I found sort of by trial and error).

Then I attached a trigger (still in girder) to this event called "XlobbyWebPgDn".

And then in Xlobby, create an event which executes girder.exe, passing
"XlobbyWbPgDn 18" as parameter (without quotes).

Similarly for pageup, up, down....

A little fiddly, but seems to work!
