Detailed Description¶

The PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame class represents a frame in a web page.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame represents a frame inside a web page. Each PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage object contains at least one frame, the main frame, obtained using QWebPage.mainFrame() . Additional frames will be created for HTML <frame> or <iframe> elements.

A frame can be loaded using PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.load() or PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.setUrl() . Alternatively, if you have the HTML content readily available, you can use PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.setHtml() instead.

The PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.page() function returns a pointer to the web page object. See Elements of QWebView for an explanation of how web frames are related to a web page and web view.

The PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame class also offers methods to retrieve both the URL currently loaded by the frame (see PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.url() ) as well as the URL originally requested to be loaded (see PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.requestedUrl() ). These methods make possible the retrieval of the URL before and after a DNS resolution or a redirection occurs during the load process. The PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.requestedUrl() also matches to the URL added to the frame history ( PySide.QtWebKit.QWebHistory ) if load is successful.

The title of an HTML frame can be accessed with the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.title() property. Additionally, a frame may also specify an icon, which can be accessed using the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.icon() property. If the title or the icon changes, the corresponding PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.titleChanged() and PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.iconChanged() signals will be emitted. The PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.zoomFactor() property can be used to change the overall size of the content displayed in the frame.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame objects are created and controlled by the web page. You can connect to the web page’s PySide.QtWebKit.QWebPage.frameCreated() signal to be notified when a new frame is created.

There are multiple ways to programmatically examine the contents of a frame. The PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.hitTestContent() function can be used to find elements by coordinate. For access to the underlying DOM tree, there is PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.documentElement() , PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.findAllElements() and PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.findFirstElement() .

A PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame can be printed onto a PySide.QtGui.QPrinter using the print() function. This function is marked as a slot and can be conveniently connected to PySide.QtGui.QPrintPreviewDialog ‘s PySide.QtGui.QPrintPreviewDialog.paintRequested() signal.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.RenderLayer¶

This enum describes the layers available for rendering using PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.render() . The layers can be OR-ed together from the following list:

Constant	Description
QWebFrame.ContentsLayer	The web content of the frame
QWebFrame.ScrollBarLayer	The scrollbars of the frame
QWebFrame.PanIconLayer	The icon used when panning the frame
QWebFrame.AllLayers	Includes all the above layers

Note

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 4.6

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.addToJavaScriptWindowObject(name, object)¶

Parameters:	name – unicode object – `PySide.QtCore.QObject`

Make object available under name from within the frame’s JavaScript context. The object will be inserted as a child of the frame’s window object.

Qt properties will be exposed as JavaScript properties and slots as JavaScript methods.

If you want to ensure that your QObjects remain accessible after loading a new URL, you should add them in a slot connected to the PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.javaScriptWindowObjectCleared() signal.

If Javascript is not enabled for this page, then this method does nothing.

The object will never be explicitly deleted by QtWebKit .

External objects referenced in the content are located relative to baseUrl .

The data is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously.

Note

This method will not affect session or global history for the frame.

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.setFocus()¶: Gives keyboard input focus to this frame.

See also

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.hasFocus()

PySide.QtWebKit.QWebFrame.setHtml(html[, baseUrl=QUrl()])¶

Parameters:	html – unicode baseUrl – `PySide.QtCore.QUrl`

Sets the content of this frame to html . baseUrl is optional and used to resolve relative URLs in the document, such as referenced images or stylesheets.

The html is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously.

If a script in the html runs longer than the default script timeout (currently 10 seconds), for example due to being blocked by a modal JavaScript alert dialog, this method will return as soon as possible after the timeout and any subsequent html will be loaded asynchronously.

When using this method WebKit assumes that external resources such as JavaScript programs or style sheets are encoded in UTF-8 unless otherwise specified. For example, the encoding of an external script can be specified through the charset attribute of the HTML script tag. It is also possible for the encoding to be specified by web server.

Note

This method will not affect session or global history for the frame.
