Hi thunk gurus, I came across this issue using the WEB API to access websites for the purpose of parsing specific information within the HTML. On the live test with the mobile phone, it worked well.

I read somewhere about using HTMLs with web viewer blocks, but haven’t been able to do it myself. So for your suggestion, you mean to use javascript program …
