I was looking at:
http://a4esl.org/q/h/mc006-ck.html
and thought; that would be good to throw at some kids in the school.
HOWEVER: I don't have internet access in the school because it is both
expensive and a distraction from the job in hand.
So, I put together a stack with a scrolling text-field and did this:
set the htmlText of fld "fTEXT" to URL "http://a4esl.org/q/h/mc006-ck.html"
and I got the formatted text of the webpage; but not the buttons.
Then it occurred to me that a RR-based web-browser was not what I needed.
What I need is a reverse of the stack I authored about 5 years ago
with Marielle Lange (then based in Edinburgh, and then, not being
either anti-Runtime Revolution or anti-Richmond): a stack that would
convert HTML into RR.
This is probably a naive question: Has anybody done this successfully?
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
