This seems really dumb. I've tried a bunch of different ways and it's just not working. I have a WinForms app with a WebBrowser control. If I try with a raw html file on my desktop using the same src string, the src I put together works fine. But plugging the same stuff into the WebBrowser control won't work.
Here's my code:
HtmlElementCollection head = this.wbPreview.Document.GetElementsByTagName( "head" );
if (head != null)
{
HtmlElement elm = this.webBrowserControl.Document.CreateElement("script");
string mySource = Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"\MyScriptFile.js";
elm.SetAttribute("src", mySource);
elm.SetAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
((HtmlElement)head[0]).AppendChild(elm);
}
The WebBrowser doesn't get the script. However, if I change "mySource" to an external resource (via http://), it works fine!
Help!
i came up on your post, while playing around with things following worked for me:
HtmlElementCollection head = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("head");
if (head != null)
{
HtmlElement elm = webBrowser1.Document.CreateElement("script");
elm.SetAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
elm.InnerText = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"\helperscripts.js");
((HtmlElement)head[0]).AppendChild(elm);
}
, so all methods of helperscript.js can be invoked using
webBrowser1.Document.InvokeScript("methodname");
, here as a reference for the script invoke: How to inject Javascript in WebBrowser control?

Try adding file://
to the URL.
There is a long story about workarounds of that "security fix" from MS. New behavior was implemented starting from IE7. Take a look into "base" tag and IE Feature controls.
I did the following:
//TODO: if not mono
var executableFilename = Path.GetFileName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
var keys = new[] { executableFilename, [vsname]+".vshost.exe" }; //check!
Action<string, object, string> SetRegistryKeyOrFail =
(key, val, regStr) =>
{
var reg =
Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey(regStr);
if (reg == null) throw new Exception("Failed registry: " + regStr);
reg.SetValue(key, val);
};
foreach (var key in keys)
{
SetRegistryKeyOrFail(key, 1, @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BLOCK_LMZ_IMG");
SetRegistryKeyOrFail(key, 0, @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BLOCK_LMZ_SCRIPT");
}
This is because of security reasons. You need a webserver to do that, else you can access any file on a system which would be a big security hole.
In developement mode, you can set e.g on chrome:
chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files
And you will be able to run your code.
