Browser functionality and data in a stack

[Björnke von Gierke]

Try this command to set the browsers source to any data you want:

revBrowserSet["htmltext"] to the text of field 1

I don't think you can get the content of a htmlform from the browser 
object directly. Also that seems rather backwards to me, htmlform 
fields have even less build in styling possibilities then rev fields. 
You might try to select the entered text manually (might also be 
possible with javascript), and look if you get anything afterwards by 
using this:

put revBrowserGet(BrowserID, "selected") into field 1

Have fun
