[webkit-qt] Add a function to the 'window' DOM/Javascript object

[Guillaume BIENKOWSKI]

Ok, for those interested, the solution is this one:

1. add a classical object to the window object:
frame->addToJavascriptWindowObject( "myObject", object );
2. Execute a small JS code to your frame to setup a window function:
frame->evaluateJavaScript("window.myFunction = function(args){
window.myObject.myFunction(args); }" );

There's no way to add a function to the window object with only C++
code; at least not that I know of.
