  • Yair Altman (3 days 12 hours ago): @Iñigo – your query is related to Seth’s question above. We can access the currently-browsed URL in JavaScript (for example: jBrowserPanel.executeScript...
  • Iñigo (5 days 4 hours ago): I am looking for setting a UI that allows following process: opening a web site, navigate inside this web site and at some specific moments (i.e. when the figure is closed or a button...
  • Nicholas (12 days 10 hours ago): Yair, this works wonderfully! I can’t thank you enough!
  • Collin (14 days 13 hours ago): Seth Good point, I am using 2022b, mathworks seems to have started using CEF browsers from 2019a, best I can tell. take a look at the package com.mathworks.toolbox.matla...
  • Seth (15 days 5 hours ago): Collin, What version of MATLAB are you using?
  • Collin (20 days 12 hours ago): Seth, I have had some success executing javascript that requires no return value by executing it directly (sort of) on the org.cef.browser.CefBrowser that a...

  • Yair Altman (22 days 11 hours ago): I’ve never tested javascript callbacks, but perhaps you should try removing the extra space after the “matlab:” protocol specifier. Does it make any difference?
