Trigger javascript function from webview content

slonkie

I'm using qt 5.3 with webkit 3 to load some html file in a webview element.

The file contains a javascript function that I would like to trigger from qml

I believe that evaluatejavascript was used for these kind of actions in previous versions of webkit.

The qml file:
@
import QtQuick 2.0
import QtWebKit 3.0

Rectangle {
id: rootObject
objectName: "rootObject"
width: 360
height: 360

WebView {
    id: myWebView
    anchors.top: topBar.bottom
    anchors.topMargin: 40
    anchors.fill: parent
    url: "file:///C:/svnwork/Highstock/index.htm"
}

MouseArea  {
    id:  button
    onClicked: myWebView.writeText('some text')
}

}
@

The html file:
@
<div id="container"></div>

<javascript>
function writeText(text){
document.getElementById('container').value = text;
}
</javascript>
@

How can I trigger the writeText function in qml?

Hi,

Can you check this "link":http://rschroll.github.io/beru/2013/08/21/qtwebview.experimental.html ? It seems for now you need to use experimental stuff.
