rebol browser
[1/3] from: inetw3:mindspring at: 1-Sep-2003 14:39
Hello ML,
I've put together a browser in Rebol/view but I'm
finding my ability to code is limiting me in moving
ahead.
problem: I have a function being called by a button
which resets (or shows) a new HTML page in a box
panel
;
inside-the-function [
*document: layout/offset/size xmlview 0x0 500x350
page/pane: document show page*
]
but the *page: box ends up becoming a type? string
when I click some HTML page links:
page: {Connection: Keep-Alive
Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2003 22:21:07 GMT
Set-Cookie: PREF=ID=7be8eed63a024f27:TM=10621
95667:LM=1062 etc...}
Any ideas why this happens?
After some pages are built, they don't reset (show),
rebol says they are *Out of range or past end.
what does this mean?
By the way, this happens with some web pages and not others
(www.rebol.com pages works perfectly in browser).
The browser works perfectly for local pages and pages built
in the editor's browser.

I've got no idea at the moment; the problem doesn't seem to be within
lines of script you show. Can you show us more of the script please?

I would guess means your program has gone past
the tail of a series

At the beginning of this example of page, there are page headers before the
file data begins. These headers are part of the
HTTP protocol and are added by the webserver before it transmits the file
(page) your program requests.

Perhaps the code you are using to interpret the webpage assumes that you are
giving it only html/xhtml and not page headers.
