In-game Web browser? / Lua

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I really do suggest if there is a way to implement a full functional web browser into roblox

I tried a few methods that did NOT work at all:

  • Creating a VM
  • Turning site into decals
  • Reading HTML files and classing them (HTML to Lua)

I wanna implement CSS, HTML, Javascript website into roblox

I remember a few years ago I found some sort of free model that actually did a pretty good job at parsing HTML into guis. I don’t think JS or css (or images/site assets for obvious reasons) were supported, but technically there shouldn’t be anything stopping you from reading basic data.

I would think you could go through the long and tedious process of parsing out each HTML tag and translating it to a GUI in game. I’m assuming it will be long and tedious. CSS will only add to this complexity but is still doable. As for JS, that’s a bit iffy. JS is an actual language so you’d essentially have to create your own compiler or something.

There are plenty of projects online that can parse HTML and CSS

Converting the parsed HTML to GUIs would be relatively easy. The CSS would be very very hard.

JavaScript is an absolute no-go.
