Hello,

RoboSuite is great.. but its complexity is currently backfiring at me.

I want to insert a JavaScript segment into a clip - the <script> tag should actually appear, unmodified and un-executed, in the resulting web clip. The purpose of this is to call a function of the container portal of the clip. (Compatibility, i know, i know... it can be handled, and this is only exemplary)

If i use an Insert Tag Step, it works perfectly fine for regular HTML. (e.g. inserting <bad> after x, <bad> shows up in the clip source). However, if i insert a <script> tag, Kapow "eats" it somewhere along the Clipping step. I tried disabling JavaScript execution to no avail.

I tried inserting an Insert Tag Step after the Clip Step, but it appears that the results are not applied to the Clip - I suppose you're not supposed to do anything to the content after "Clip".

It is really simple - i just want to insert an arbitrary segment into my Clipped code ;-)

Please? Thanks! :-)

 

If you change anything after the Clip step it is not going to be part of the clip itself. Trying to interact with the container portal from inside the clip is not possible (at least not without some serious work) due to the architecture of clipping, sorry about that. If you could tell us what it is you are trying to do in more detail than maybe there are another way around your problem which is easier to implement.

Yes, thanks..

All i need to do is insert a <script> tag with a simple function call in js into the Clip's output HTML.

Can it be done?

*nag*

Is it possible to insert arbitrary <script>-tags into the output of a Clipping Robot, and if so, how?

Thank you.
 

In short,

No.
