Don't forget that, for maximum integrated live HTML action, the web
pages can be served from the local machine's Max search path (or any
other machine running Max), and can include JSPs with dynamic content
and parameters generated by Max itself. You'll need the web server
package:

Wow jweb is pretty cool. I can actually load Processing apps
in Max! I would definitely like to be able to pass data
back and forth. There is great potential here...

Thanks for clearing this up Jeremy. I'm looking forward to seeing how the
jweb object unfolds. I'd love to see any tricks you can conjure up.

I've been browing this topic to see if I can find an asnwer to the problem I'm having, but alas...

I'm not trying to get any info into jweb, just out of it. A website has been made (not by me, but specificly for my patch) using a google maps map. There are clickable points on the map, clicking one of these points will change the title of the website. So the site doesn't actually reload, only the title changes. The title is a simple integer I use to look up variables in a table

Somehow, the jweb object doesn't update the title on windows. It works like a charm on Mac and every other site seems to work on windows. Can anyone tell me if the problem is in jweb, windows, or the website, and is there simple solution (like an activeX control package)?

here's the subpatch

I don't know why it's not working on Windows.

Perhaps there is an exception causing things to fail on Windows. I would suggest you ask the website developer to try wrapping the code that handles mouse clicks in a block like this:

try {
  // ... existing code ...
}
catch(exception) {
   alert(exception)
}

And see if that sheds any light on the matter.

If there is no exception and it seems like setting the title is simply not working, then change the relevant line of code in the rhMaps.js file:

document.title = code;

to this alternative way of sending a message to Max:

location.href = 'maxmessage:' + code;

Anyone had any luck with this? Would like to see Andrew Bensons patches on what can be done with a web browser... I'm trying to get a midi device to control google maps (or somehow connect to google maps using incoming midi data).
Any hints on this would be great!
