    OK, fine. What if there is nothing ... on the very same console all qDebug() perfectly appear?

      @McLion No, they go to JS console. You can see it in Inspector, or handle QWebPage::javaScriptConsoleMessage signal

        Ahhh ... OK ... Thanks a lot.
        Never saw the 'Inspector' and will try to read it up ... is it also part of webKit in Qt?
        I know the inspector on desktop browser but it won't help because it unfortunately does not show the issue there.
        I'll try (tomorrow) to connect the signal to a slot and use qDebug() in there.

          Activated the inspector with the following line:
          QWebSettings::globalSettings()->setAttribute(QWebSettings::DeveloperExtrasEnabled, true);
          Basically works. However, as soon as I have the inspector turned on my webView's do behave very strange, like they do not get all inputs anymore, and I can not debug the situation.

          Looks like I need to implement QWebPage::javaScriptConsoleMessage and send the messages back to C++ and debug from there.
          According docs this is not a signal so I can not simply connect to it.

            @McLion Right, I've mixed it up with new consoleMessageReceived() signal that is present in revived QtWebKit only (since TP3)

              Need some help ...
              I have the following:
              in h:

              #include <QWebPage>
              class DBGWebPage : public QWebPage
              {
              Q_OBJECT
                public:
                  explicit DBGWebPage(QObject *parent = 0);
                protected:
                  void javaScriptConsoleMessage( const QString & message, int lineNumber, const QString & sourceID );
              };
              

              in cpp:

              void DBGWebPage::javaScriptConsoleMessage( const QString & message, int lineNumber, const QString & sourceID )
              {
                qDebug() << message << lineNumber << sourceID;
              }
              

              and my webGUI's are derived from qWebView:

              QWebView *webGUI = new QWebView(QTGUI_MainWindow::centralWidget());
              

              How do I make it use the reimplementation of javaScriptConsoleMessage()?

                        Hi
                        webGUI->setPage(DBGWebPage::DebugWebPage);
                        I would expect be something like
                        DBGWebPage *page=new DBGWebPage();
                        webGUI->setPage(page->DebugWebPage);

                        The other syntax seems odd ?

                          @Konstantin-Tokarev
                          There's something I don't get ... probably soemthing with these C++ classes I'm always stumbling over:

                          #include <QWebPage>
                          class DBGWebPage : public QWebPage
                          {
                          Q_OBJECT
                            public:
                              explicit DBGWebPage(QObject *parent = 0);
                              QWebPage *DebugWebPage;
                            protected:
                              void javaScriptConsoleMessage( const QString & message, int lineNumber, const QString & sourceID );
                          };
                          
                          DBGWebPage::DBGWebPage(QObject *parent) :
                            QWebPage(parent)
                          {
                            //QWebPage* DebugWebPage = new QWebPage;
                            DebugWebPage = new QWebPage(this);
                          }
                          
                          QWebView * QTGUI_MainWindow::CreateNewWebGUI(int iID)
                          {
                            // check if already existing
                            if(webGUIMap.value(iID) != 0) { qDebug("GUI %d existing", iID); return false; }
                          
                            // check for max GUI count here
                            if(iID > GUI_COUNT_MAX) { qDebug("GUI %d failed - Max GUI ID is %d", iID, GUI_COUNT_MAX); return false; }
                          
                            // create new webGUI and add it to the list
                            QWebView *webGUI = new QWebView(QTGUI_MainWindow::centralWidget());
                            webGUIMap.insert(iID, webGUI);
                          
                            // make some basic settings to the new GUI
                            webGUI->setPage(DBGWebPage::DebugWebPage);
                            webGUI->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("webGUI%1").arg(iID));
                          ......

                          @McLion You derive DBGWebPage from QWebPage and add QWebPage* field to it, then try to use that QWebPage* field (which is vanilla QWebPage, not DBGWebPage) as it was static filed of DBGWebPage.

                            You code builds without error, however, crashes with SIGSEGV.

                              @McLion Because it should be

                              DBGWebPage *page=new DBGWebPage();
                              webGUI->setPage(page);

                                I somehow understand all you're saying, but I so far am not able to modify my code to not crash.
                                Currently ended up with (modified to it while Konstantin was writing it too):

                                DBGWebPage *page=new DBGWebPage();
                                webGUI->setPage(page);
                                

                                and an empty constructor.
                                Still crashing .... I'm stumped.

                                    Found something.
                                    It actually works if comment 2 signal connects for the page, but I need these two.

                                    • networkAccessManager for SSL errors
                                    • and the JS bridge
                                      If the page has been set, do I need to connect these in a different way or do these now go to the wrong object?
                                    QWebView * QTGUI_MainWindow::CreateNewWebGUI(int iID)
                                    {

                                        I can not find what I'm doing wrong. The console debug works, as long as I have deactivated the JS bridge.

                                        DBGWebPage *page=new DBGWebPage();
                                        webGUI->setPage(page);
                                        // the following lines that use the new page seem to work
                                        webGUI->page()->mainFrame()->setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Vertical, Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
                                        webGUI->page()->mainFrame()->setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Horizontal, Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
                                        // and the following line - that I need - let it crash upon boot:
                                        connect(webGUI->page()->mainFrame(), SIGNAL(javaScriptWindowObjectCleared()), this, SLOT(populateJavaScriptWindowObject()));
                                        

                                        If I don't use setPage() to change the page that the webView generates by default, the JS bridge works perfectly.
                                        What am I doing wrong to use the page of my own class with the debug added AND use the JS bridge?

                                          Anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong here?
                                          The code does not crash while connecting. It seems to crashes when the first web page is loaded and the loadProgress or loadFinished signal is sent from the webView.
                                          Edit/Add:
                                          On second thought, it probably crashes when the javaScriptWindowObjectCleared() is called the first time.
