JavaScript-Livecode integration question

[Heriberto Torrado]

Hi Ralph,

Thanks you very much for your quick response!

I found some information about the command 
"revBrowserAddJavaScriptHandler", but you say I can use the command 
"javascriptHandlers".
it's that new? I cannot find information about it on the Livecode 
dictionary.

Anyway, I'm going to try it and I'll tell you if it works.

I think a lot of  people will ask me why I want to do that, and why I 
just don't use Electron.. :-)
I don't want to create a flame, so this these are my reasons.

1) I have an strong background with HTML, CSS and Javascript, but I love 
Livecode scripting (especially its strong text manipulation options.).
2) If you use the Indy edition, it's easy to hide the code (passwords, 
command calls, etc). It's not possible to do it with Electron or NW.js 
(NW.js has more options to do that, but they are far to be ideal).
3) I don't like nodejs: promises, asynchronous technology, difficult 
tracing errors, etc.

Best,
Hery
