Does WIndows Web Broser ole control supports 'window.addEventListener' within <Script></Script> ? 1

[Rajesh Karunakaran]

Dear all,

I have to show a web page (an silmple html file) in a form using Windows Web Broswer ole control. The html has javascript which adds an Event Listener. Does this control supports that?

Or, is there an alternative Web Browser control that supports this and works with Vfp ?

First of all set the Silent property to .T. to not get any and every warning or alert about JS.

Then you can try this:

Web Browser Control & Specifying the IE Version

The Microsoft Web Browser control's default rendering mode is not standards compliant - it's stuck in IE 7 quirks mode even on systems that run a later version of IE such as IE 11. This produces terrible results if you're attempting to use HTML 5 or or CSS 3 markup in your HTML to display...

If JS using an event listener still does not work, then that's a sure sign you'd need something more modern than the MS Webbrowser Control to make this work.
Search the forum, there are already a few threads about using alternatives:
