## Detailed Description

The QWebPage class provides an object to view and edit web documents.

QWebPage holds a main frame responsible for web content, settings, the history of navigated links and actions. This class can be used, together with QWebFrame, to provide functionality like QWebView in a widget-less environment.

QWebPage's API is very similar to QWebView, as you are still provided with common functions like action() (known as pageAction() in QWebView), triggerAction(), findText() and settings(). More QWebView-like functions can be found in the main frame of QWebPage, obtained via QWebPage::mainFrame(). For example, the load(), setUrl() and setHtml() unctions for QWebPage can be accessed using QWebFrame.

The loadStarted() signal is emitted when the page begins to load.The loadProgress() signal, on the other hand, is emitted whenever an element of the web page completes loading, such as an embedded image, a script, etc. Finally, the loadFinished() signal is emitted when the page has loaded completely. Its argument, either true or false, indicates whether or not the load operation succeeded.

### Using QWebPage in a Widget-less Environment

Before you begin painting a QWebPage object, you need to set the size of the viewport by calling setViewportSize(). Then, you invoke the main frame's render function (QWebFrame::render()). An example of this is shown in the code snippet below.

Suppose we have a `Thumbnail` class as follows:

     class Thumbnailer : public QObject
     {
         Q_OBJECT

     public:
         Thumbnailer(const QUrl &url);

     signals:
         void finished();

     private slots:
         void render();

     private:
         QWebPage page;

     };

The `Thumbnail`'s constructor takes in a url. We connect our QWebPage object's loadFinished() signal to our private slot, `render()`.

     Thumbnailer::Thumbnailer(const QUrl &url)
     {
         page.mainFrame()->load(url);
         connect(&page, SIGNAL(loadFinished(bool)),
             this, SLOT(render()));
     }

The `render()` function shows how we can paint a thumbnail using a QWebPage object.

     void Thumbnailer::render()
     {
         page.setViewportSize(page.mainFrame()->contentsSize());
         QImage image(page.viewportSize(), QImage::Format_ARGB32);
         QPainter painter(&image);

         page.mainFrame()->render(&painter);
         painter.end();

         QImage thumbnail = image.scaled(400, 400);
         thumbnail.save("thumbnail.png");

         emit finished();
     }

We begin by setting the viewportSize and then we instantiate a QImage object, `image`, with the same size as our viewportSize. This image is then sent as a parameter to `painter`. Next, we render the contents of the main frame and its subframes into `painter`. Finally, we save the scaled image.

See also QWebFrame.

## Member Type Documentation

### enum QWebPage::Extension

This enum describes the types of extensions that the page can support. Before using these extensions, you should verify that the extension is supported by calling supportsExtension().

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QWebPage::ChooseMultipleFilesExtension` | `0` | Whether the web page supports multiple file selection. This extension is invoked when the web content requests one or more file names, for example as a result of the user clicking on a "file upload" button in a HTML form where multiple file selection is allowed.

### enum QWebPage::FindFlag
flags QWebPage::FindFlags

This enum describes the options available to QWebPage's findText() function. The options can be OR-ed together from the following list:

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QWebPage::FindBackward` | `1` | Searches backwards instead of forwards.
`QWebPage::FindCaseSensitively` | `2` | By default findText() works case insensitive. Specifying this option changes the behaviour to a case sensitive find operation.
`QWebPage::FindWrapsAroundDocument` | `4` | Makes findText() restart from the beginning of the document if the end was reached and the text was not found.

The FindFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<FindFlag>. It stores an OR combination of FindFlag values.

### enum QWebPage::LinkDelegationPolicy

This enum defines the delegation policies a webpage can have when activating links and emitting the linkClicked() signal.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QWebPage::DontDelegateLinks` | `0` | No links are delegated. Instead, QWebPage tries to handle them all.
`QWebPage::DelegateExternalLinks` | `1` | When activating links that point to documents not stored on the local filesystem or an equivalent - such as the Qt resource system - then linkClicked() is emitted.
`QWebPage::DelegateAllLinks` | `2` | Whenever a link is activated the linkClicked() signal is emitted.

### enum QWebPage::NavigationType

This enum describes the types of navigation available when browsing through hyperlinked documents.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QWebPage::NavigationTypeLinkClicked` | `0` | The user clicked on a link or pressed return on a focused link.
`QWebPage::NavigationTypeFormSubmitted` | `1` | The user activated a submit button for an HTML form.
`QWebPage::NavigationTypeBackOrForward` | `2` | Navigation to a previously shown document in the back or forward history is requested.

### enum QWebPage::WebAction

This enum describes the types of action which can be performed on the web page.

Actions only have an effect when they are applicable. The availability of actions can be be determined by checking isEnabled() on the action returned by action().

One method of enabling the text editing, cursor movement, and text selection actions is by setting contentEditable to true.

Constant | Value | Description

## Member Function Documentation

### QWebPage::QWebPage ( QObject * parent = 0 )

Constructs an empty QWebView with parent parent.

### QWebPage::~QWebPage ()

Destroys the web page.

### bool QWebPage::acceptNavigationRequest ( QWebFrame * frame, const QNetworkRequest & request, NavigationType type ) `[virtual protected]`

This function is called whenever WebKit requests to navigate frame to the resource specified by request by means of the specified navigation type type.

If frame is a null pointer then navigation to a new window is requested. If the request is accepted createWindow() will be called.

The default implementation interprets the page's linkDelegationPolicy and emits linkClicked accordingly or returns true to let QWebPage handle the navigation itself.

See also createWindow().

### QAction * QWebPage::action ( WebAction action ) const

Returns a QAction for the specified WebAction action.

The action is owned by the QWebPage but you can customize the look by changing its properties.

QWebPage also takes care of implementing the action, so that upon triggering the corresponding action is performed on the page.

See also triggerAction().

### quint64 QWebPage::bytesReceived () const

Returns the number of bytes that were received from the network to render the current page.

See also totalBytes().

### QString QWebPage::chooseFile ( QWebFrame * parentFrame, const QString & suggestedFile ) `[virtual protected]`

This function is called when the web content requests a file name, for example as a result of the user clicking on a "file upload" button in a HTML form.

A suggested filename may be provided in suggestedFile. The frame originating the request is provided as parentFrame.

### void QWebPage::contentsChanged () `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever the text in form elements changes as well as other editable content.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.

See also contentEditable, QWebFrame::toHtml(), and QWebFrame::toPlainText().

### QObject * QWebPage::createPlugin ( const QString & classid, const QUrl & url, const QStringList & paramNames, const QStringList & paramValues ) `[virtual protected]`

This function is called whenever WebKit encounters a HTML object element with type "application/x-qt-plugin". The classid, url, paramNames and paramValues correspond to the HTML object element attributes and child elements to configure the embeddable object.

### QMenu * QWebPage::createStandardContextMenu ()

This function creates the standard context menu which is shown when the user clicks on the web page with the right mouse button. It is called from the default contextMenuEvent() handler. The popup menu's ownership is transferred to the caller.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.

### QWebPage * QWebPage::createWindow ( WebWindowType type ) `[virtual protected]`

This function is called whenever WebKit wants to create a new window of the given type, for example when a JavaScript program requests to open a document in a new window.

If the new window can be created, the new window's QWebPage is returned; otherwise a null pointer is returned.

If the view associated with the web page is a QWebView object, then the default implementation forwards the request to QWebView's createWindow() function; otherwise it returns a null pointer.

See also acceptNavigationRequest().

### QWebFrame * QWebPage::currentFrame () const

Returns the frame currently active.

See also mainFrame() and frameCreated().

### void QWebPage::databaseQuotaExceeded ( QWebFrame * frame, QString databaseName ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever the web site shown in frame is asking to store data to the database databaseName and the quota allocated to that web site is exceeded.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.

### void QWebPage::downloadRequested ( const QNetworkRequest & request ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted when the user decides to download a link. The url of the link as well as additional meta-information is contained in request.

See also unsupportedContent().

### bool QWebPage::extension ( Extension extension, const ExtensionOption * option = 0, ExtensionReturn * output = 0 ) `[virtual]`

This virtual function can be reimplemented in a QWebPage subclass to provide support for extensions. The option argument is provided as input to the extension; the output results can be stored in output.

The behavior of this function is determined by extension.

You can call supportsExtension() to check if an extension is supported by the page.

Returns true if the extension was called successfully; otherwise returns false.

See also supportsExtension() and Extension.

### bool QWebPage::findText ( const QString & subString, FindFlags options = 0 )

Finds the next occurrence of the string, subString, in the page, using the given options. Returns true of subString was found and selects the match visually; otherwise returns false.

### bool QWebPage::focusNextPrevChild ( bool next )

Similar to QWidget::focusNextPrevChild it focuses the next focusable web element if next is true; otherwise the previous element is focused.

Returns true if it can find a new focusable element, or false if it can't.

### void QWebPage::frameCreated ( QWebFrame * frame ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever the page creates a new frame.

### void QWebPage::geometryChangeRequested ( const QRect & geom ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever the document wants to change the position and size of the page to geom. This can happen for example through JavaScript.

### QWebHistory * QWebPage::history () const

Returns a pointer to the view's history of navigated web pages.

### QVariant QWebPage::inputMethodQuery ( Qt::InputMethodQuery property ) const

This method is used by the input method to query a set of properties of the page to be able to support complex input method operations as support for surrounding text and reconversions.

property specifies which property is queried.

See also QWidget::inputMethodEvent(), QInputMethodEvent, and QInputContext.

### void QWebPage::javaScriptAlert ( QWebFrame * frame, const QString & msg ) `[virtual protected]`

This function is called whenever a JavaScript program running inside frame calls the alert() function with the message msg.

The default implementation shows the message, msg, with QMessageBox::information.

### bool QWebPage::javaScriptConfirm ( QWebFrame * frame, const QString & msg ) `[virtual protected]`

This function is called whenever a JavaScript program running inside frame calls the confirm() function with the message, msg. Returns true if the user confirms the message; otherwise returns false.

The default implementation executes the query using QMessageBox::information with QMessageBox::Yes and QMessageBox::No buttons.

### void QWebPage::javaScriptConsoleMessage ( const QString & message, int lineNumber, const QString & sourceID ) `[virtual protected]`

This function is called whenever a JavaScript program tries to print a message to the web browser's console.

For example in case of evaluation errors the source URL may be provided in sourceID as well as the lineNumber.

The default implementation prints nothing.

### bool QWebPage::javaScriptPrompt ( QWebFrame * frame, const QString & msg, const QString & defaultValue, QString * result ) `[virtual protected]`

This function is called whenever a JavaScript program running inside frame tries to prompt the user for input. The program may provide an optional message, msg, as well as a default value for the input in defaultValue.

If the prompt was cancelled by the user the implementation should return false; otherwise the result should be written to result and true should be returned.

The default implementation uses QInputDialog::getText.

### void QWebPage::linkClicked ( const QUrl & url ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever the user clicks on a link and the page's linkDelegationPolicy property is set to delegate the link handling for the specified url.

By default no links are delegated and are handled by QWebPage instead.

See also linkHovered().

### void QWebPage::linkHovered ( const QString & link, const QString & title, const QString & textContent ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted when the mouse hovers over a link.

link contains the link url. title is the link element's title, if it is specified in the markup. textContent provides text within the link element, e.g., text inside an HTML anchor tag.

When the mouse leaves the link element the signal is emitted with empty parameters.

See also linkClicked().

### void QWebPage::loadFinished ( bool ok ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted when a load of the page is finished. ok will indicate whether the load was successful or any error occurred.

See also loadStarted().

### void QWebPage::loadProgress ( int progress ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted when the global progress status changes. The current value is provided by progress and scales from 0 to 100, which is the default range of QProgressBar. It accumulates changes from all the child frames.

See also bytesReceived().

### void QWebPage::loadStarted () `[signal]`

This signal is emitted when a new load of the page is started.

See also loadFinished().

### QWebFrame * QWebPage::mainFrame () const

Returns the main frame of the page.

The main frame provides access to the hierarchy of sub-frames and is also needed if you want to explicitly render a web page into a given painter.

See also currentFrame().

### void QWebPage::menuBarVisibilityChangeRequested ( bool visible ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever the visibility of the menubar in a web browser window that hosts QWebPage should be changed to visible.

### void QWebPage::microFocusChanged () `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever this QWebPage should be updated and no view was set. dirtyRect contains the area that needs to be updated. To paint the QWebPage get the mainFrame() and call the render(QPainter*, const QRegion&) method with the dirtyRect as the second parameter.

See also mainFrame() and view().

### void QWebPage::restoreFrameStateRequested ( QWebFrame * frame ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted when the load of frame is finished and the application may now update its state accordingly.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.

### void QWebPage::saveFrameStateRequested ( QWebFrame * frame, QWebHistoryItem * item ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted shortly before the history of navigated pages in frame is changed, for example when navigating back in the history.

The provided QWebHistoryItem, item, holds the history entry of the frame before the change.

A potential use-case for this signal is to store custom data in the QWebHistoryItem associated to the frame, using QWebHistoryItem::setUserData().

### QString QWebPage::userAgentForUrl ( const QUrl & url ) const `[virtual protected]`

This function is called when a user agent for HTTP requests is needed. You can reimplement this function to dynamically return different user agents for different URLs, based on the url parameter.

The default implementation returns the following value:

"Mozilla/5.0 (%Platform%; %Security%; %Subplatform%; %Locale%) AppleWebKit/%WebKitVersion% (KHTML, like Gecko, Safari/419.3) %AppVersion"

In this string the following values are replaced at run-time:

- %Platform% and %Subplatform% are expanded to the windowing system and the operation system.
- %Security% expands to U if SSL is enabled, otherwise N. SSL is enabled if QSslSocket::supportsSsl() returns true.
- %Locale% is replaced with QLocale::name(). The locale is determined from the view of the QWebPage. If no view is set on the QWebPage, then a default constructed QLocale is used instead.
- %WebKitVersion% currently expands to 527+
- %AppVersion% expands to QCoreApplication::applicationName()/QCoreApplication::applicationVersion() if they're set; otherwise defaulting to Qt and the current Qt version.
