Webview widget gets cookie support and progress bar

Published by at

Continuing the evolution of Nokia's new Symbian 'Webview widget', an update was made available today that adds support for cookies, for site fragments that depend on a login session, plus a progress bar showing if the current web view is being reloaded. Screens and links below.

Here's Webview in action:

The new version, curiously newer in the download than the version listed on the web site!

Setting up a Webview widget and the finished result, here showing one of the view's progress bar showing the reloading in action...

The quoted changelog is:

...now includes the following bug fixes and enhancements:

  • Progress bar for background refresh
  • Cookie support for logins
  • Fragment navigation on selector

You can download the Webview widget here (now up to v21, so perhaps an extra update was slipped in at the last minute?), plus here's our original story on the widget.

How have you been finding Webview widget? Found any more cool uses yet? The cookie support should help on quite a few sites, I think...
