• Web Clipper not working

    By Ruedi Berger 1 decade ago

    I'm new at Composite Application. I tried to integrate "Web Clipper" in a sample Application, but when calling the component I get a "runtime error at line 1". After several more error messages the web page appears.



    Then I tried "Web Launch" and it works.



    Do you have any suggestions what I'm doing wrong with "Web Clipper"?



    Thank you very much

      What web site are you looking at? What settings are you setting? The unit test for the Web Clipper broke shortly after we shipped. A problem with web clipping is that it's very sensitive to underlying changes in the HTML. In the unit test case, Yahoo changed their format and broke the test.

      If you are clipping things in an unexpected way, you will then be feeding broken HTML to the browser. That is where it sounds like the error is coming from.
