[Solved] General questions about QWebView and QWebElement

[alexandros]

So, I have a QWebView and I load a web page inside it.

Then, I get the document:

@QWebElement document = webView->page()->mainFrame()->documentElement();@

Question 1: When I edit the 'document' does it update automatically inside my QWebView ?

This is how I edit my document (simplified code, it misses crash checks etc):

@QWebElementCollection collection = document.findAll(search_for);
QWebElement cur_element=collection.at(0);
cur_element.setAttribute(attribute, value);
cur_element.setFocus();@

Question 2: When an element has focus (which in my case, it will be an element tagged "input"), how can I simulate an Return (Enter) key event into my QWebView so as not to search for the submit button and generalize more the submit process? (e.g. I don't want to do this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6258346/)

Question 3: When a form is submitted (hopefully by simulating a key enter press event (or if a QWebElement tagged "button" is clicked) does my QWebView loads again? Because I want to know whether the loadFinished() signal is emitted again.

Yep!
