is there a way to open up the smalltalk browser straight after the page has loaded?

I've put this function in my html

loadAmber({

files: ["KO.js"],

prefix: 'projects/knockout/js',

ready: function() {

alert("Oeuoeu");

smalltalk.Browser._open();

}});

</script>

the alert comes on, but the browser does not open. Is there an option to open it straight away?

Hmm, that should work. Do you get an error in the console?

There's no error, I can bring up the console with the button and there is an alert message, which means that the ready function is being called.

I didn't choose yet but I see a big potential there, because Amber is
opening the door to Smalltalkers into the web browser world, where
JavaScript is a king. Without that king nothing will happen on
client-side soon, that's why Amber is even more important.

My great plan is to use Amber for generating/emitting web apps for
clients from otherwise classical Smalltalk environments like Pharo. In
other worlds: Pharo will be used for development, Amber (integrated in
Aida/Web) for deployment. Classical Smalltalk environments with all
tools are namely still much better for development.

Best regards
Janko

yes, makes sense.

if something like that would exist, I would be using it by now (unless the API sucks too much)
