Yes, that won't work as you are trying to load a file that does not exist. Your best bet would be to use a data-uri for the html, eg

data:text/html,%3Ch1%3EHello%2C%20World%21%3C%2Fh1%3E

@leaanthony Can you give me a demo code? thx!

[askie]

on windows the below code is working:

popwin=window.open("","_blank","height=600,width=400");
popwin.document.write("<h2>hello world</h2>");

but on macos, it's not working, the new window not open

@leaanthony Can you give me a demo code? thx!

No, sorry. I don't have any code that does this.

Supplying a full URL also doesn't work on Mac (don't have windows, so I can't test there):

window.open('https://www.google.com', '_blank')

Thanks!

Did you check Apple's documentation on whether WkWebView supports window.open?

[csterritt]

@leaanthony Sorry, my bad, I didn't check Wails's documentation! Turns out BrowserOpenURL does exactly what I want. Thanks!

[leaanthony]

We don't officially support multi window so YMMV.
