CEF3's ExecuteJavaScript() on Linux

[georgechen]

Hi There,
I was testing CEF3(R475) on Linux Ubuntu 11.10 and found that JavaScript "alert(' ')" function doesn't work, but I think this is not the problem of method CefFrame::ExecuteJavaScript() itself. This could be platform dependent problem because JavaScript "window.open( )" function works fine. How can I solve this problem to make alert message box pup-up ?

To make it more clear , here are part of code from cefclient.cpp

Code: Select all

void RunJavaScriptExecuteTest(CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser) {
  browser->GetMainFrame()->ExecuteJavaScript(
      "alert('JavaScript execute works!');", "about:blank", 0);
}

The alert message box does not pup-up.

Code: Select all

void RunPopupTest(CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser) {
  browser->GetMainFrame()->ExecuteJavaScript(
      "window.open('http://www.google.com');", "about:blank", 0);
}

The new window pops up properly.

By the way, I did not find CefJSBindingHandler::OnJSBinding() method in CEF3 , if I need to get return from JavaScript program, how can I approach ?

Correct, alert boxes are not yet implemented.

Hi Marshall,
Thanks for replying. Do you have any idea for the timeline when will JavaScript alert() function be implemented ?
and how about the CefJSBindingHandler::OnJSBinding() method will CEF3 support this function as it were in older CEF versions?

Marshall,
Could you provide some updates on when Javascript 'alert' function might be implemented in CEF3? Appreciate it.

JS dialog support was added in revision 594. http://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedd ... ail?id=507

There is no default implementation on Linux but you can provide your own using CefJSDialogHandler.
