Detailed Description
A web engine page holds the contents of an HTML document, the history of navigated links, and actions.
QWebEnginePage's API is very similar to QWebEngineView, as you are still provided with common functions like action() (known as pageAction() in QWebEngineView), triggerAction(), and findText().
A page can be loaded using load() or setUrl(). Alternatively, if you have the HTML content readily available, you can use setHtml(). The GET method is always used to load URLs.
The QWebEnginePage class also offers methods to retrieve both the URL currently loaded by the page (see url()) as well as the URL originally requested to be loaded (see requestedUrl()). These methods make possible the retrieval of the URL before and after a DNS resolution or a redirection occurs during the load process. The requestedUrl() also matches to the URL added to the page history (QWebEngineHistory) if load is successful.
The title of an HTML page can be accessed with the title() property. Additionally, a page may also specify an icon, which can be accessed using the icon() or its URL using the iconUrl() property. If the title or the icon changes, the corresponding titleChanged(), iconChanged() and iconUrlChanged() signals will be emitted. The zoomFactor() property enables zooming the contents of the web page by a scale factor.
The loadStarted() signal is emitted when the page begins to load, whereas the loadProgress() signal is emitted whenever an element of the web page completes loading, such as an embedded image or a script. The loadFinished() signal is emitted when the page contents have been loaded completely, independent of script execution or page rendering. Its argument, either true
or false
, indicates whether or not the load operation succeeded.
An HTML document is loaded in a main frame within the web page. If it references child frames (as defined by the <frame>
or <iframe>
elements), they are considered part of the content. Child frames are individually accessible only through JavaScript.
Web sites define security origin for safely accessing each other's resources for client-side scripting or databases. An origin consist of a host name, a scheme, and a port number. For example, the sites http://www.example.com/my/page.html
and http://www.example.com/my/overview.html
are allowed to share the same database or access each other's documents when used in HTML frame sets and JavaScript. At the same time, http://www.malicious.com/evil.html
is prevented from accessing the resources of http://www.example.com/
, because they are of a different security origin. By default, local schemes like file://
and qrc://
are considered to be in the same security origin, and can access each other's resources. Local resources are by default restricted from accessing remote content, which means that file://
will not be able to access http://domain.com/foo.html
.
Scripts can be executed on the web page by using runJavaScript(), either in the main JavaScript world, along with the rest of the JavaScript coming from the web contents, or in their own isolated world. While the DOM of the page can be accessed from any world, JavaScript variables of a function defined in one world are not accessible from a different one. QWebEngineScript::ScriptWorldId provides some predefined IDs for this purpose. Using the runJavaScript()
version without the world ID is the same as running the script in the MainWorld
.
The FocusOnNavigationEnabled setting can be used to make the view associated with the page automatically receive focus when a navigation operation occurs (like loading or reloading a page or navigating through history).

Member Function Documentation
[since 5.7]
void QWebEnginePage::runJavaScript(const QString &scriptSource, const std::function<void (const QVariant &)> &resultCallback)
[since 5.7]
void QWebEnginePage::runJavaScript(const QString &scriptSource, quint32 worldId = 0, const std::function<void (const QVariant &)> &resultCallback = {})
Runs the JavaScript code contained in scriptSource without checking whether the DOM of the page has been constructed. If you need more control over how the script is run, consider using scripts() instead.
To avoid conflicts with other scripts executed on the page, the world in which the script is run is specified by worldId. The world ID values are the same as provided by QWebEngineScript::ScriptWorldId, and between 0
and 256
. If you leave out the world
ID, the script is run in the MainWorld
.
When the script has been executed, resultCallback is called with the result of the last executed statement. resultCallback
can be any of a function pointer, a functor or a lambda, and it is expected to take a QVariant parameter. For example:
page.runJavaScript("document.title", [](const QVariant &v) { qDebug() << v.toString(); });
Only plain data can be returned from JavaScript as the result value. Supported data types include all of the JSON data types as well as, for example, Date
and ArrayBuffer
. Unsupported data types include, for example, Function
and Promise
.
Warning: Do not execute lengthy routines in the callback function, because it might block the rendering of the web engine page.
Warning: We guarantee that the callback (resultCallback) is always called, but it might be done during page destruction. When QWebEnginePage is deleted, the callback is triggered with an invalid value and it is not safe to use the corresponding QWebEnginePage or QWebEngineView instance inside it.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.7.
See also scripts(), QWebEngineScript::ScriptWorldId, and Script Injection.
QWebEnginePage::QWebEnginePage(QObject *parent = nullptr)
Constructs an empty QWebEnginePage with the parent parent.
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::authenticationRequired(const QUrl &requestUrl, QAuthenticator *authenticator)
This signal is emitted when access to requestUrl requires authentication. authenticator should be used to pass the user name and password for the connection.
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::certificateError(const QWebEngineCertificateError &certificateError)
This signal is emitted when an invalid certificate error is raised while loading a given request.
The certificateError parameter contains information about the certificate and details of the error, it also provides the way to ignore the error and complete the request or stop loading the request.
See also QWebEngineCertificateError.
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::featurePermissionRequestCanceled(const QUrl &securityOrigin, QWebEnginePage::Feature feature)
This signal is emitted when the web site identified by securityOrigin cancels a previously issued request to make use of feature.
See also featurePermissionRequested() and setFeaturePermission().
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::featurePermissionRequested(const QUrl &securityOrigin, QWebEnginePage::Feature feature)
This signal is emitted when the web site identified by securityOrigin requests to make use of the resource or device identified by feature.
See also featurePermissionRequestCanceled() and setFeaturePermission().
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::geometryChangeRequested(const QRect &geom)
This signal is emitted whenever the document wants to change the position and size of the page to geom. This can happen for example through JavaScript.
Note: setGeometry() expects a size excluding the window decoration, while geom includes it. You have to remove the size of the frame margins from geom to handle this signal correctly.
window->setGeometry(geom.marginsRemoved(window->frameMargins()));
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::linkHovered(const QString &url)
This signal is emitted when the mouse hovers over a link. url contains the target URL of the link.
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::loadFinished(bool ok)
This signal is emitted when the page finishes loading content. This signal is independent of script execution or page rendering. ok will indicate whether the load was successful or any error occurred.
Note: Navigation requests can be delegated to the Qt application instead of having the HTML handler engine process them by overloading the acceptNavigationRequest() function. Because the loading process is started and the loadStarted() signal is emitted before the request is accepted or rejected, a loadFinished()
signal that returns false
is to be expected even after delegating the request.
See also loadStarted() and acceptNavigationRequest().
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::loadProgress(int progress)
This signal is emitted when the global progress status changes. The current value is provided by progress and scales from 0 to 100, which is the default range of QProgressBar. It accumulates changes from all the child frames.
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::loadStarted()
This signal is emitted when a page starts loading content.
See also loadFinished() and acceptNavigationRequest().
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::proxyAuthenticationRequired(const QUrl &requestUrl, QAuthenticator *authenticator, const QString &proxyHost)
This signal is emitted when access to requestUrl via proxyHost requires authentication for the proxy. authenticator should be used to pass the user name and password for the connection.
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::selectionChanged()
This signal is emitted whenever the selection changes, either interactively or programmatically. For example, by calling triggerAction() with a selection action.
Note: When using the mouse to select text by left-clicking and dragging, the signal will be emitted for each new character selected, and not upon releasing the left mouse button.
See also selectedText().
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::titleChanged(const QString &title)
This signal is emitted whenever the title of the page changes. The title string specifies the new title.
See also title().
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::urlChanged(const QUrl &url)
This signal is emitted with the URL of the page when the page title is received. The new URL is specified by url.
See also url().
[signal]
void QWebEnginePage::windowCloseRequested()
This signal is emitted whenever the page requests the web browser window to be closed, for example through the JavaScript window.close()
call.
See also RequestClose.
[virtual]
QWebEnginePage::~QWebEnginePage()
Destroys the web page.
[virtual protected, since 5.5]
bool QWebEnginePage::acceptNavigationRequest(const QUrl &url, QWebEnginePage::NavigationType type, bool isMainFrame)
This function is called upon receiving a request to navigate to the specified url by means of the specified navigation type type. isMainFrame indicates whether the request corresponds to the main frame or a child frame. If the function returns true
, the navigation request is accepted and url
is loaded. The default implementation accepts all navigation requests.
Navigation requests can be delegated to the Qt application instead of having the HTML handler engine process them by overloading this function. This is necessary when an HTML document is used as part of the user interface, and not to display external data, for example, when displaying a list of results.
Note: This function is not called for fragment navigation on the same page. Such navigation, for example, happens by clicking a link to a '#fragment' within the page. It does not trigger a load to a different document, even though it changes page's url and adds history entry. It only serves as a shortcut to scroll within the page. Hence, no delegation of this navigation type is expected to happen.
Note: The loading process is started and the loadStarted() signal is emitted before the request is accepted or rejected. Therefore, a loadFinished() signal that returns false
is to be expected even after delegating the request.
Note: When using setHtml or setContent with relative links, make sure to specify a base url, otherwise the links will be considered invalid and no navigation requests will be emitted.
The QWebEngineUrlRequestInterceptor class offers further options for intercepting and manipulating requests.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.5.
QAction *QWebEnginePage::action(QWebEnginePage::WebAction action) const
Returns a QAction for the specified WebAction action.
The action is owned by the QWebEnginePage but you can customize the look by changing its properties.
QWebEnginePage also takes care of implementing the action, so that upon triggering the corresponding action is performed on the page.
See also triggerAction().
[virtual protected]
QStringList QWebEnginePage::chooseFiles(QWebEnginePage::FileSelectionMode mode, const QStringList &oldFiles, const QStringList &acceptedMimeTypes)
This function is called when the web content requests a file name, for example as a result of the user clicking on a file upload button in an HTML form.
mode indicates whether only one file or multiple files are expected to be returned.
A suggested filename may be provided as the first entry of oldFiles. acceptedMimeTypes is ignored by the default implementation, but might be used by overrides.
[virtual protected]
QWebEnginePage *QWebEnginePage::createWindow(QWebEnginePage::WebWindowType type)
This function is called to create a new window of the specified type. For example, when a JavaScript program requests to open a document in a new window.
If the new window can be created, the new window's QWebEnginePage is returned; otherwise a null pointer is returned.
If the view associated with the web page is a QWebEngineView object, then the default implementation forwards the request to QWebEngineView::createWindow(); otherwise it returns a null pointer.
If this call is not implemented or does not return a new page, newWindowRequested() is emitted to handle the request.
Note: In the cases when the window creation is being triggered by JavaScript, apart from reimplementing this method the application must also set QWebEngineSettings::JavascriptCanOpenWindows to true
in order for the method to get called.
See also QWebEngineView::createWindow() and newWindowRequested().
void QWebEnginePage::findText(const QString &subString, QWebEnginePage::FindFlags options = {}, const std::function<void (const QWebEngineFindTextResult &)> &resultCallback = ...)
Finds the specified string, subString, in the page, using the given options. The findTextFinished() signal is emitted when a string search is completed.
To clear the search highlight, just pass an empty string.
The resultCallback must take a QWebEngineFindTextResult parameter.
Warning: We guarantee that the callback (resultCallback) is always called, but it might be done during page destruction. When QWebEnginePage is deleted, the callback is triggered with an invalid value and it is not safe to use the corresponding QWebEnginePage or QWebEngineView instance inside it.
For example:
m_view->page()->findText(QStringLiteral("Qt"), QWebEnginePage::FindFlags(), [this](bool found) { if (!found) QMessageBox::information(m_view, QString(), QStringLiteral("No occurrences found")); });
See also findTextFinished().
QWebEngineHistory *QWebEnginePage::history() const
Returns a pointer to the view's history of navigated web pages.

void QWebEnginePage::javaScriptAlert(const QUrl &securityOrigin, const QString &msg)
This function is called whenever a JavaScript program running in a frame affiliated with securityOrigin calls the alert()
function with the message msg.
The default implementation shows the message, msg, with QMessageBox::information.
[virtual protected]
bool QWebEnginePage::javaScriptConfirm(const QUrl &securityOrigin, const QString &msg)
This function is called whenever a JavaScript program running in a frame affiliated with securityOrigin calls the confirm()
function with the message msg. Returns true
if the user confirms the message; otherwise returns false
.
It is also called when the onbeforeunload
handler is requesting a confirmation before leaving a page.
The default implementation executes the query using QMessageBox::information with QMessageBox::Ok and QMessageBox::Cancel buttons.
[virtual protected]
void QWebEnginePage::javaScriptConsoleMessage(QWebEnginePage::JavaScriptConsoleMessageLevel level, const QString &message, int lineNumber, const QString &sourceID)
This function is called when a JavaScript program tries to print the message to the web browser's console.
For example, in case of evaluation errors the source URL may be provided in sourceID as well as the lineNumber.
level indicates the severity of the event that triggered the message. That is, whether it was triggered by an error or a less severe event.
Since Qt 5.6, the default implementation logs the messages in a js
logging category.
See also Console Logging.
[virtual protected]
bool QWebEnginePage::javaScriptPrompt(const QUrl &securityOrigin, const QString &msg, const QString &defaultValue, QString *result)
This function is called whenever a JavaScript program running in a frame affiliated with securityOrigin tries to prompt the user for input. The program may provide an optional message, msg, as well as a default value for the input in defaultValue.
If the prompt was cancelled by the user, the implementation should return false
; otherwise the result should be written to result and true
should be returned. If the prompt was not cancelled by the user, the implementation should return true
and the result string must not be null.
The default implementation uses QInputDialog::getText().
void QWebEnginePage::load(const QUrl &url)
Loads url into this page.
Note: The view remains the same until enough data has arrived to display the new URL.
See also setUrl(), setHtml(), and setContent().
void QWebEnginePage::setContent(const QByteArray &data, const QString &mimeType = QString(), const QUrl &baseUrl = QUrl())
Sets the content of the web page to data. If the mimeType argument is empty, it is assumed that the content is text/plain,charset=US-ASCII
.
External objects referenced in the content are located relative to baseUrl.
The data is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously.
Note: This method will not affect session or global history for the page.
Warning: The content will be percent encoded before being sent to the renderer via IPC. This may increase its size. The maximum size of the percent encoded content is 2 megabytes minus 6 bytes plus the length of the mime type string.
See also toHtml() and setHtml().
void QWebEnginePage::setFeaturePermission(const QUrl &securityOrigin, QWebEnginePage::Feature feature, QWebEnginePage::PermissionPolicy policy)
Sets the permission for the web site identified by securityOrigin to use feature to policy.
Note: This method is primarily for calling after a featurePermissionRequested() signal has been emitted to trigger the feature permission response. It can also be called before a request has been emitted, but will only set a granted permission for passive checks, mainly for Notification APIs that can check if permission has already been granted before explicitly requesting it.
See also featurePermissionRequested() and featurePermissionRequestCanceled().
void QWebEnginePage::setHtml(const QString &html, const QUrl &baseUrl = QUrl())
Sets the content of this page to html. baseUrl is optional and used to resolve relative URLs in the document, such as referenced images or stylesheets.
The html is loaded immediately; external objects are loaded asynchronously.
If a script in the html runs longer than the default script timeout (currently 10 seconds), for example due to being blocked by a modal JavaScript alert dialog, this method will return as soon as possible after the timeout and any subsequent html will be loaded asynchronously.
When using this method, the web engine assumes that external resources, such as JavaScript programs or style sheets, are encoded in UTF-8 unless otherwise specified. For example, the encoding of an external script can be specified through the charset attribute of the HTML script tag. It is also possible for the encoding to be specified by the web server.
This is a convenience function equivalent to setContent(html, "text/html", baseUrl).
Note: This method will not affect session or global history for the page.
Warning: This function works only for HTML, for other mime types (such as XHTML and SVG) setContent() should be used instead.
Warning: The content will be percent encoded before being sent to the renderer via IPC. This may increase its size. The maximum size of the percent encoded content is 2 megabytes minus 30 bytes.
See also toHtml(), setContent(), and load().
QWebEngineSettings *QWebEnginePage::settings() const
Returns a pointer to the page's settings object.
void QWebEnginePage::toHtml(const std::function<void (const QString &)> &resultCallback) const
Asynchronous method to retrieve the page's content as HTML, enclosed in HTML and BODY tags. Upon successful completion, resultCallback is called with the page's content.
Note: resultCallback can be any of a function pointer, a functor or a lambda, and it is expected to take a QString parameter.
Warning: We guarantee that the callback (resultCallback) is always called, but it might be done during page destruction. When QWebEnginePage is deleted, the callback is triggered with an invalid value and it is not safe to use the corresponding QWebEnginePage or QWebEngineView instance inside it.
See also setHtml() and toPlainText().
void QWebEnginePage::toPlainText(const std::function<void (const QString &)> &resultCallback) const
Asynchronous method to retrieve the page's content converted to plain text, completely stripped of all HTML formatting. Upon successful completion, resultCallback is called with the page's content.
Note: resultCallback can be any of a function pointer, a functor or a lambda, and it is expected to take a QString parameter.
Warning: We guarantee that the callback (resultCallback) is always called, but it might be done during page destruction. When QWebEnginePage is deleted, the callback is triggered with an invalid value and it is not safe to use the corresponding QWebEnginePage or QWebEngineView instance inside it.

void QWebEnginePage::triggerAction(QWebEnginePage::WebAction action, bool checked = false)
This function can be called to trigger the specified action. It is also called by Qt WebEngine if the user triggers the action, for example through a context menu item.
If action is a checkable action, then checked specifies whether the action is toggled or not.
See also action().
