The iwidgets::scrolledhtml command creates a scrolled text widget with the additional capability to display html formatted documents. An import method is provided to read an html document file, and a render method is provided to display a html formatted text string.
The iwidgets::scrolledhtml command creates a new Tcl command whose name is pathName. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form: C pathName option ?arg arg ...? Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for scrolledhtml widgets:
bbox compare debug delete dlineinfo get index insert mark scan search see tag window xview yview
See the "text" manual entry for details on the standard methods.
export clear
See the "scrolledhtml" manual entry for details on the inherited methods.
pathName cget option Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwidgets::scrolledhtml command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the iwidgets::scrolledhtml command.
pathName import ?option? href Load html formatted text from a file. Href must exist. If option is -link, href is assumed to be relative to the application's current working directory. Otherwise, href is assumed to be relative to the path of the last page loaded. Href is either a filename, or a reference of the form filename#anchorname. In the latter form, fIFilename and/or anchorname may be empty. If filename is empty, the current document is assumed. If anchorname is empty, the top of the document is assumed.
pathName pwd Print the current working directory of the widget, i.e. the directory of the last page loaded.
pathName render htmltext ?wd? Display HTML formatted text htmltext. Wd gives the base path to use for all links and images in the document. Wd defaults to the application's current working directory.
pathName title Return the title of the current page, as given in the <title>...</title> field in the document.
This widget is compliant with HTML 3.2 with the following exceptions:
No features requiring a connection to an http server are supported.
Some image alignments aren't supported, because they are not supported by the text widget.
The <br> attributes dealing with image alignments aren't supported.
Automatic table sizing is not supported very well, due to limitations of the text widget
