Browser called from SU and html code

[thomthom]

SketchUp webdialogs uses the HTML engine of the host OS. Under Windows this is Explorer, under OSX this is WebKit. What they support depend on what version you have installed.

Note that IE inside an embedded control such as a WebDialog is much more conservative in it's pick of render mode. In order to trigger the latest you need to insert a META tag.

Hi,

If I remember correctly HTML 5 is not compatible yet with SketchUP web-dialog...I wish it was though.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot Thom, the meta http-equiv at least corrected the thing on my PC.
Do not know if it will work on all configurations but with this line :
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10">
I'm able to use input of type range.

It is if you have an IE version installed that support HTML5 - meaning IE10. Works great then!

That would be a safe one if you test on IE10 and want to ensure it's always using IE10.

If you want it to behave like in the web browser where it always uses the latest engine available:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

It will work on all systems that have IE10 or newer installed.

... but not on XP that cannot have IE10 installed ?

I am really confused here!

I have internet explorer 10 to navigate the internet but when I use an html 5 tag on my web-dialog for Sketchup it says "Your browser does not support it".

Does SketchUp have separate version of internet explorer?

If so can you update that version and how?

Thanks!

Even while using <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10"> ?

Wow!

I was not familiar with that meta tag...I am so happy because now I can expand my webdialogs features!

Thanks!
