preview of 'webpage' app
This content requires Adobe Flash Player 8 or greater.
Click the widget to enable audio if the widget uses it. Note that modern browser security may prevent the widget from loading content from other web sites, however the widget should be able to load properly on the chumby devices. These previews are possible through the use of Ruffle ‐ note that Ruffle is still a work in progress, and not all Flash features are implemented, so some widgets may not perform optimally.

PLS let it automatical close after the given time in the preferences ! best regards and greetings from germany! Ralf

THIS IS A GREAT APP.... Looking forward to the potential to cycle - that would be a definite game changer! Thanks again DJ

@jdavid_anderson - With the current CP (5.0.35) it is not possible to disable the browser controls overlay that is shown on page reloads. This is something that is outside the control of this app so a new CP will need to be released, should this be addressed. We'll try to get something in to facilitate such a preference in a persistent manner - perhaps a button on the geek panel and/or perhaps a /psp config file...

I see that the latest version of this app loads a info screen thingy at the top when the page is loading. It is nice to have a touch keyboard option, but is there any way to turn that info screen off. My web page reloads every 30 seconds and I prefer that it doesnt have that on the top each time it reloads. It used to not have it. Is there a way to disable that ? Thanks Dave

The only thing I wish it had was the ability to popup a window to enter passwords for my password protected web pages. I love the fact that the app is in Kiosk mode so you have no borders.

I'm stoked to see such interest in this app. Obviously, the beauty lies in its raw simplicity and the plethora of possible website destinations (whether already existing or created by you ;). Like many of you, I share(d) the same vision where this could show a webpage and yet still "cycle" automatically. Alas, that is still not a feature that can be added without modification to, and the cooperation of, the Control Panel and firmware. The future is still unknown; as always, your comments are the primary fuel.

This would be good if it could exit in a specified time.

is there any way to give this a login/pw to open a page that needs authentication?

@kevgan25 - This app requires a browser (chumbrowser) and unfortunately, chumby one devices do not meet this requirement at the moment. Anything is possible in the future though...

@jdavid_anderson - I agree with you. We will need to implement some special communication with the Control Panel before this functionality is possible however. Stay tuned...

@skavuru - hummaa.com seems to open its audio player in a pop-up window. Pop-up windows are not supported by the chumbrowser (the browser that this app uses) at this moment.

I have a Chumby one and it says it's not available for this device. Could you please help because it sounds like a good widget.

This is a nice app, I wish there was a switch to not have to hit the bar to exit, that it would load the page, wait, then exit on its own.

Hi - I downloaded the webpage. I'm trying to play songs on www.hummaa.com , when I click on the play button, a java script message pops saying that "enable pop window on your browser' ... is there way to customize this on my chumby. Thanks Sekhar
