In 2.1.9, I used the html doc to view it and it worked. In 3.0, I tried the exact same thing and it doesn't work, and there are two problems. Problem 1 - My android device offers to 'Open Document' and puts up the icon for the HTML plugin instead of just going straight into the page. When I click that icon, I am presented with 'open with which app?'. OK, I think this is intended behaviour for v3, but it isn't a good user experience and I'm really hoping that behaviour will revert to the v2 approach. Problem 2 - When I do go select html viewer to open the page, the page is displayed but the JavaScript doesn't work. Question - is there a trick to getting JavaScript to work with Android under v3? TIA, Alan Title Comments I have an app which does an calculation in an html form, which is embedded into my Android app, stored in BT_Docs. In 2.1.9, I used the html doc to view it and it worked.

I hope David fixes the Problem in the Future with the "CustomUrl - PlugIn" to open the "In - App" HTML Files ;-/ Comments Same Problem here... I solved it with the HTML Pro PlugIn from Chris.

Does it get around the JavaScript issue too? Comments I didn't realise @Chris1's plugin was meant for that, but I don't have it in my collection (yet). Does it get around the JavaScript issue too?

Just put your HTML File and the JS, CSS into the BT_Docs folder. Comments Ive used it with an SlidingJS and it worked. Just put your HTML File and the JS, CSS into the BT_Docs folder.

Maybe Chris makes an Update so that we can Deactivate them in the CP - Panel ? Comments Only Thing... you cant deactivate the "Webbrowser" and the "Refresh" Icon on the Bottom.
