This function creates a new web browser element.

Tip

You can also enable CEF development tools using toggleBrowserDevTools.

Note

For local files as url please read Local Scheme Handler.

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

• Constructor: browser(...)

Syntax

element|false createBrowser ( int width, int height, bool isLocal, [ bool transparent = false ] )

Required Arguments

• width: The browser's native width. This should be greater than or equal to 1.
• height: The browser's native height. This should be greater than or equal to 1.
• isLocal: Sets whether the browser can only show local content or content from the internet (see examples for more information).

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use.

• transparent (default: false): true if you want the browser transparent, false for opaque.

Returns

• element|false: new browser

Returns a texture of the browser if it was created successfully, false otherwise. Returns also false, if the user disabled remote pages and isLocal was set to false.

This example shows you how to create a fullscreen web browser (showing a local html file) without input-handling.

--In order to render the browser on the full screen, we need to know the dimensions.
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize()

--Let's create a new browser in local mode. We will not be able to load an external URL.
local webBrowser = createBrowser(screenWidth, screenHeight, true, false)

--This is the function to render the browser.
function webBrowserRender()
  --Render the browser on the full size of the screen.
  dxDrawImage(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight, webBrowser, 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), true)
end

--The event onClientBrowserCreated will be triggered, after the browser has been initialized.
--After this event has been triggered, we will be able to load our URL and start drawing.
addEventHandler("onClientBrowserCreated", webBrowser,
  function()
    --After the browser has been initialized, we can load our file.
    loadBrowserURL(webBrowser, "http://mta/local/html/site.html")
    --Now we can start to render the browser.
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, webBrowserRender)
  end

This example shows you how to create a fullscreen web browser (showing youtube.com) without input-handling. Remember, that youtube.com is on the global whitelist. If you want to load a domain/page that is not on the global whitelist, you have to request it with requestBrowserDomains.

--In order to render the browser on the full screen, we need to know the dimensions.
local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize()

--Let's create a new browser in remote mode.
local webBrowser = createBrowser(screenWidth, screenHeight, false, false)

--Function to render the browser.
function webBrowserRender()
  --Render the browser on the full size of the screen.
  dxDrawImage(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight, webBrowser, 0, 0, 0, tocolor(255,255,255,255), true)
end

--The event onClientBrowserCreated will be triggered, after the browser has been initialized.
--After this event has been triggered, we will be able to load our URL and start drawing.
addEventHandler("onClientBrowserCreated", webBrowser,

    --After the browser has been initialized, we can load www.youtube.com
    loadBrowserURL(webBrowser, "http://www.youtube.com")
    --Now we can start to render the browser.
