Unable To Show Alert Via Javascript In Wp7 Web Browser Control

Post a Comment
I am trying to show alert box using javascript in a webpage using web browser control in WP7. The alert is not popping up. Is there anything wrong in the code or WP7 doesn't suppor

Solution 1:

Are you able to get the default.html resource loaded? Have a look at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dohollan/archive/2010/08/25/adventures-with-the-windows-phone-7-webbrowser-control.aspx first.

UPDATED TO INCLUDE SAMPLE CODE FOR HOW TO ACHIEVE AN INTENDED EFFECT:

The HTML:

<htmlxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ><head><title></title><scripttype="text/javascript" >functionShowNameAlert(name) {
            window.external.notify("Hello " + name);
        }
     </script></head><bodyonload="ShowNameAlert('Jojo');">
Bla bla
</body></html>

The C# code-behind:

privatevoidSomeBrowser_ScriptNotify(object sender, NotifyEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(e.Value);
}

The XAML:

<phone:WebBrowserx:Name="SomeBrowser"ScriptNotify="SomeBrowser_ScriptNotify"IsScriptEnabled="True"Source="test.html"/>

Solution 2:

This is how I solved it, I injected the javascript onto the webPage to which I navigate, and overrided the alert and confirm boxes

window.alert = function(__msg){window.external.notify(' + __msg + ');};

Then in the script notify function displayed that message using MessageBox. I hope it helps others too. The previous answer was a workaround, this is what I feel is the correct solution to my problem
