Browser modes

In its standard configuration, Yawet works without external browser. On the page element, you can inspect the DOM (Document Object Model) of a HTML page. There is also a build in browser on the "HTML" tab, that shows the page, how it looks in a browser. Unluckily this works only for simple pages. And it might even block the system. If you want to see more complex pages, you must configure an external browser.

Configure external browser:
In the leftside tree window, select the root Web Project object. In the right window select the "System" tab. Select "use copy of response" or "use request url" mode.
Select an external browser. We recommend you to use Firefox. In Tools/Options/Tabs select "Open links from other applications in: the most recent tab/window". In some firefox versions, this option is missing. In that case enter about:config in the firefox url field and set the value of browser.link.open_external to 1.

Use internal browser

The default.

Use copy of response

The browser will show a copy of the page fetched by Yawet. The web server is not asked again. This mode is recomended for state aware web applications. This mode does not work with css and pictures.

Use request url

Each time you like to see the page, it is refeched from the web server by resending the request url. This mode is recommended for stateless web sites. The browser can show the original web page.

Do not use a browser

Use this, if you do not have an suitable external browser, and the internal browser slows down or crashes the application.
