Hi Alex,
Yes that should work fine with no problems as I do something similar for
the day job, one thing I would check that WebKit Object you have is top
level Main View.
You will need to add some extra delegates to deal with opening windows and
alert dialogs, as by default they won't appear until you implement them, as
on window's system a window.open will open another instance of IE, which is
not going to happen within your custom WebKit application.
Check what result returns if empty, or another idea is to make the
javascript function return something so you can validate that this is
working fine, as I guess its probably is.
Hope this helps,
Mark.
