Nice, that works for <iframe>.
Any idea why I see nothing in <webview> objects?
Unfortunately I don't-- I've been working mostly in SVG land, and only the simple parts of HTML for input, divs and some CSS styling. I have seen some discussions of webview in the nw.js mailing list, so you might check there.
Thanks, Giulio

Hi, great that purr-data is finally out. I went back to this thread
https://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@lists.iem.at/msg10518.html which briefly touched on the topic of visualizing HTML pages inside purr data, but did not find the solution to my problem.
Using <iframe> seems to load local files just fine, but it does not load remote files: any src="http://website" attribute will display "localhost" and any src="http://website/pagenNotOnLocalhost" will give me a 404.
There's a setting you have to remove in the package.json file: "chromium-args": "--proxy-server=http://127.0.0.1", I put that there because currently any network functionality happens from the Pd process. The GUI only makes a tcp connection to the Pd process and that's it.
If you remove that line then you'll be able to make network requests from the GUI. Also, Chromium will make whatever connections it thinks it needs to fetch whitelists and whatever else it does to try to keep your machine from becoming a solider in somebody's botnet.
