c# Cefsharp how to make correct sequence of JavaScript actions on the web site

These sequences of actions work with Thread.Sleep, somewhere in 1 second, somewhere in 2 seconds. I think using Thread.Sleep/Task.Delay is not good. Because it can be performed differently on different computers. How do I execute these sequences without using Thread.Sleep?
Or it is OK to using Thread.Sleep/Task.Delay?
private async void ButtonFind_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Action1
string jsScript1 = "document.getElementById('story').value=" + '\'' + textFind.Text + '\'';
await chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript1);
//Action2
string jsScript2 = "document.querySelector('body > div.wrapper > div.header > div.header44 > div.search_panel > span > form > button').click();";
await chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript2);
//Action3
Thread.Sleep(1000); //it is necessary to set exactly 1 seconds
string jsScript3 = "document.getElementsByTagName('a')[2].click();";
await chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript3);
//Action4
Thread.Sleep(2000); //it is necessary to set exactly 2 seconds
string jsScript4 = "document.querySelector('#dle-content > div.section > ul > li:nth-child(3)').click();";
await chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript4);
}
I tried to use task expectations, but it didn't help me
...
var task4 = chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript4);
task4.Wait();
I also tried to use DOM rendering expectations, which didn't help either
string jsScript4 = #"
if( document.readyState !== 'loading' ) {
myInitCode();
} else {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
myInitCode();
});
}
function myInitCode() {
var a = document.querySelector('#dle-content > div.section > ul > li:nth-child(3)').click();
return a;
}
";
chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript4);
My addition (21.04.2022)
In third action instead of using Thread.Sleep, im using "While" loop
Here the algorithm is correct, but for some reason, after pressing the application button, the application is hanging
bool test = false;
while(test == false)
{
string myScript = #"
(function(){
var x = document.getElementsByTagName('a')[1].outerText;
return x;
})();
";
var task = chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(myScript);
task.ContinueWith(x =>
{
if (!x.IsFaulted)
{
var response = x.Result;
if (response.Success == true)
{
var final = response.Result;
if (final.ToString() == textFind.Text)
{
MessageBox.Show("You found the link");
test = true;
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("You do not found the link");
}
}
}
}, TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());
}
My addition (23.04.2022)
string jsScript1 = "document.getElementById('story').value=" + '\'' + textFind.Text + '\'' + ";"
+ #"
Promise.resolve()
.then(() => document.querySelector('body > div.wrapper > div.header > div.header44 > div.search_panel > span > form > button').click())
.then(() => { var target = document.body;
const config = {
childList: true,
attributes: true,
characterData: true,
subtree: true,
attributeFilter: ['id'],
attributeOldValue: true,
characterDataOldValue: true
}
const callback = function(mutations)
{
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
if(document.getElementsByTagName('a')[1].innerText=='Troy')
{
alert('I got that link');
}
}, true);
};
const observer = new MutationObserver(callback);
observer.observe(target, config)});
";
var task1 = chrome.EvaluateScriptAsPromiseAsync(jsScript1);
task1.Wait();
Using a MutationObserver wrapped in a promise, using EvaluateScriptAsPromiseAsync to evaluate promise. Also didnt help.
I came to the conclusion that JavaScript does not save the code when clicking on a search button or after going to another page. How do I save the JavaScript code/request and continue it after clicking on a search button or after going to another page?

As your JavaScript causes a navigation you need to wait for the new page to load.
You can use something like the following to wait for the page load.
// create a static class for the extension method
public static Task<LoadUrlAsyncResponse> WaitForLoadAsync(this IWebBrowser browser)
{
var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<LoadUrlAsyncResponse>(TaskCreationOptions.RunContinuationsAsynchronously);
EventHandler<LoadErrorEventArgs> loadErrorHandler = null;
EventHandler<LoadingStateChangedEventArgs> loadingStateChangeHandler = null;
loadErrorHandler = (sender, args) =>
{
//Actions that trigger a download will raise an aborted error.
//Generally speaking Aborted is safe to ignore
if (args.ErrorCode == CefErrorCode.Aborted)
{
return;
}
//If LoadError was called then we'll remove both our handlers
//as we won't need to capture LoadingStateChanged, we know there
//was an error
browser.LoadError -= loadErrorHandler;
browser.LoadingStateChanged -= loadingStateChangeHandler;
tcs.TrySetResult(new LoadUrlAsyncResponse(args.ErrorCode, -1));
};
loadingStateChangeHandler = (sender, args) =>
{
//Wait for while page to finish loading not just the first frame
if (!args.IsLoading)
{
browser.LoadError -= loadErrorHandler;
browser.LoadingStateChanged -= loadingStateChangeHandler;
var host = args.Browser.GetHost();
var navEntry = host?.GetVisibleNavigationEntry();
int statusCode = navEntry?.HttpStatusCode ?? -1;
//By default 0 is some sort of error, we map that to -1
//so that it's clearer that something failed.
if (statusCode == 0)
{
statusCode = -1;
}
tcs.TrySetResult(new LoadUrlAsyncResponse(statusCode == -1 ? CefErrorCode.Failed : CefErrorCode.None, statusCode));
}
};
browser.LoadingStateChanged += loadingStateChangeHandler;
browser.LoadError += loadErrorHandler;
return tcs.Task;
}
// usage example
private async void ButtonFind_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Action1
string jsScript1 = "document.getElementById('story').value=" + '\'' + textFind.Text + '\'';
await chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript1);
//Action2
string jsScript2 = "document.querySelector('body > div.wrapper > div.header > div.header44 > div.search_panel > span > form > button').click();";
await Task.WhenAll(chrome.WaitForLoadAsync(),
chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript2));
//Action3
string jsScript3 = "document.getElementsByTagName('a')[2].click();";
await Task.WhenAll(chrome.WaitForLoadAsync(),
chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript3));
//Action4
string jsScript4 = "document.querySelector('#dle-content > div.section > ul > li:nth-child(3)').click();";
await chrome.EvaluateScriptAsync(jsScript4);
}

You never must work with sleep because time changes between computers and, even in the same computer, a web page may be differ the time required to load.
I work a lot with scraping and IMO the best focus to manage this is working from JavaScript side. You inject/run your JavaScript to fill controls, click buttons...
With this focus, the problem is that navigations make you lose the state. When you navigate to other page, your JavaScript start from scratch. I revolve this sharing data to persist between JavaScript and C# through Bound Object and injecting JavaScript.
For example, you can run action 1, 2 and 3 with a piece of JavaScript code. Before click button, you can use your Bound Object to tell to your C# code that you are going to second page.
When your second page are loaded, you run your JavaScript for your second page (you know the step and can inject the JavaScript code for your 2 page).
In all cases, your JavaScript code must have some mechanism to wait. For example, set a timer to wait until your controls appears. In this way, you can run your JavaScript without wait to the page is fully loaded (sometimes this events are hard to manage).
UPDATE
My scraping library is huge. I'm going to expose pieces that you need to do the work but you need to assemble by yourself.
We create a BoundObject class:
public class BoundObject
{
public BoundObject(IWebBrowser browser)
{
this.Browser = browser;
}
public void OnJavaScriptMessage(string message)
{
this.Browser.OnJavaScriptMessage(message);
}
}
IWebBrowser is an interface of my custom browser, a wrapper to manage all I need. Create a Browser class, like CustomBrowser, for example, implementing this interface.
Create a method to ensure your Bound Object is working:
public void SetBoundObject()
{
// To get events in C# from JavaScript
try
{
var boundObject = new BoundObject();
this._browserInternal.JavascriptObjectRepository.Register(
"bound", boundObject, false, BindingOptions.DefaultBinder);
this.BoundObject = boundObject;
}
catch (ArgumentException ex)
{
if (!ex.ParamName.Identical("bound"))
{
throw;
}
}
}
_browserInternal is the CefSharp browser. You must run that method on each page load, when you navigate. Doing that, you have a window.bound object in JavaScript side with an onJavaScriptMessage function. Then, you can define a function in JavaScript like this:
function sendMessage(msg) {
var json = JSON.stringify(msg);
window.bound.onJavaScriptMessage(json);
return this;
};
You can send now any object to your C# application and manage in your CustomBrowser, on OnJavaScriptMessage method. In that method I manage my custom message protocol, like a typical one in sockets environment or the windows message system and generate a OnMessage that I implement in classes inheriting CustomBrowser.
Send information to JavaScript is trivial using ExecuteScriptAsync of CefSharp browser.
Going further
When I work in an intense scraping job. I create some scripts with classes to manage the entire Web to scrap. I create classes, for example, to do login, navigate to different sections, fill forms... like if I was the owner of the WebSite. Then, when page load, I inject my scripts and I can use my own classes in the remote WebSite making scraping... piece of cake.
My scripts are embedded resources so are into my final executable. In debug, I read them from disk to allow edit+reload+test until my scripts works fine. With the DevTools you can try in the console until you get the desired source. Then you add into your JavaScripts classes and reload.
You can add simple JavaScript with ExecuteScriptAsync, but with large files appears problems escaping quotes...
So you need insert an entire script file. To do that, implement ISchemeHandlerFactory to create and return an IResourceHandler. That resource handler must have a ProcessRequestAsync in which you receive a request.Url that you can use to locale your scripts:
this.ResponseLength = stream.Length;
this.MimeType = GetMimeType(fileExtension);
this.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.OK;
this.Stream = stream;
callback.Continue();
return true;
stream maybe a MemoryStream in which you write the content of your script file.

How can I close the client-side JavaScript 'Hub' connection in SignalR?

I have followed this tutorial.
But there is no hint how to close the Websocket connection via the HubConnection class in signalr.js-file. The file is V1.0.4.
This solution does not resolve my problem because I am using the microsofts javascript-library.
Here ist the code:
var lHubConnection = null;
var Init = function () {
// create instance
lHubConnection = new signalR.lHubConnectionBuilder().withUrl("/chatHub").build();
// receive message
lHubConnection.on("ReceiveMessage", function (pMessage) {
// show message
console.log(JSON.parse(pMessage));
});
// [...]
};
// close websocket connection
var CloseConnection = function(){
if (lHubConnection !== null && lHubConnection.connection.connectionState === 1) {
// lHubConnection.invoke("?"); ???
}
};
Here is an console output of the lHubConnection instance:

According to Microsoft the JavaScript client contains a stop function.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/%40aspnet/signalr/hubconnection?view=signalr-js-latest#stop
In addition, you can find the .stop()-Method in the prototype of the framework:

Oauth 2 popup with Angular 2

I'm upgrading/rewriting an existing angular app to use angular2. My problem is that I want to open a OAuth flow in a new pop up window and once the OAuth flow is completed use window.postMessage to communicate back to the angular 2 app that the OAuth flow was successful.
Currently what I have is in the angular 2 service is
export class ApiService {
constructor(private _loggedInService: LoggedInService) {
window.addEventListener('message', this.onPostMessage, false);
}
startOAuthFlow() {
var options = 'left=100,top=10,width=400,height=500';
window.open('http://site/connect-auth', , options);
}
onPostMessage(event) {
if(event.data.status === "200") {
// Use an EventEmitter to notify the other components that user logged in
this._loggedInService.Stream.emit(null);
}
}
}
This template that is loaded at the end of the OAuth flow
<html>
<head>
<title>OAuth callback</title>
<script>
var POST_ORIGIN_URI = 'localhost:8000';
var message = {"status": "200", "jwt":"2"};
window.opener.postMessage(message, POST_ORIGIN_URI);
window.close();
</script>
</head>
</html>
Using window.addEventListener like this seems to completely break the angular 2 app, dereferencing this.
So my question is can I use window.addEventListener or should I not use postMessage to communicate back to the angular2 app?
** Complete angular2 noob so any help is appreciated

I have a complete Angular2 OAuth2 skeleton application on Github that you can refer to.
It makes use of an Auth service for OAuth2 Implicit grants that in turn uses a Window service to create the popup window. It then monitors that window for the access token on the URL.
You can access the demo OAuth2 Angular code (with Webpack) here.
Here is the login routine from the Auth service, which will give you an idea of what's going on without having to look at the entire project. I've added a few extra comments in there for you.
public doLogin() {
var loopCount = this.loopCount;
this.windowHandle = this.windows.createWindow(this.oAuthTokenUrl, 'OAuth2 Login');
this.intervalId = setInterval(() => {
if (loopCount-- < 0) { // if we get below 0, it's a timeout and we close the window
clearInterval(this.intervalId);
this.emitAuthStatus(false);
this.windowHandle.close();
} else { // otherwise we check the URL of the window
var href:string;
try {
href = this.windowHandle.location.href;
} catch (e) {
//console.log('Error:', e);
}
if (href != null) { // if the URL is not null
var re = /access_token=(.*)/;
var found = href.match(re);
if (found) { // and if the URL has an access token then process the URL for access token and expiration time
console.log("Callback URL:", href);
clearInterval(this.intervalId);
var parsed = this.parse(href.substr(this.oAuthCallbackUrl.length + 1));
var expiresSeconds = Number(parsed.expires_in) || 1800;
this.token = parsed.access_token;
if (this.token) {
this.authenticated = true;
}
this.startExpiresTimer(expiresSeconds);
this.expires = new Date();
this.expires = this.expires.setSeconds(this.expires.getSeconds() + expiresSeconds);
this.windowHandle.close();
this.emitAuthStatus(true);
this.fetchUserInfo();
}
}
}
}, this.intervalLength);
}
Feel free to ask if you have any questions or problems getting the app up and running.

So with a bit of investigation found out the problem. I was de-referencing this. This github wiki helped me understand it a bit more.
To solve it for my case needed to do a couple of things. Firstly I created a service that encapsulated the adding of an eventListener
import {BrowserDomAdapter} from 'angular2/platform/browser';
export class PostMessageService {
dom = new BrowserDomAdapter();
addPostMessageListener(fn: EventListener): void {
this.dom.getGlobalEventTarget('window').addEventListener('message', fn,false)
}
}
Then using this addPostMessageListener I can attach a function in my other service to fire
constructor(public _postMessageService: PostMessageService,
public _router: Router) {
// Set up a Post Message Listener
this._postMessageService.addPostMessageListener((event) =>
this.onPostMessage(event)); // This is the important as it means I keep the reference to this
}
Then it works how I expected keeping the reference to this

I think this is the Angular2 way:
(Dart code but TS should be quite similar)
#Injectable()
class SomeService {
DomAdapter dom;
SomeService(this.dom) {
dom.getGlobalEventTarget('window').addEventListener("message", fn, false);
}
}

I fiddled around with this for ages but in the end, the most robust way for me was to redirect the user to the oath page
window.location.href = '/auth/logintwitter';
do the oath dance in the backend (I used express) and then redirect back to a receiving front end page...
res.redirect(`/#/account/twitterReturn?userName=${userName}&token=${token}`);
There are some idiosyncracies to my solution because e.g. I wanted to use only JsonWebToken on the client regardless of login type, but if you are interested, whole solution is here.

Calling JavaScript function in Xamarin.Forms IOS WebViewRenderer

I am using Xamarin.Forms to build a cross platform IOS Android and windows phone app. One of my views is a web view which calls a url pointing to a page that has a javascript function in it. I need to call this function from within the mobile app, and pass it a string value.
So far all good, I achieve this in WindowsPhone by using a WebViewRenderer with a custom view. In the OnElementPropertyChanged handler in the renderer I can get get access to my view and the properties I need like so:
protected override async void OnElementPropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
base.OnElementPropertyChanged(sender, e);
if(e.PropertyName == SessionWebView.SessionIdProperty.PropertyName)
{
view = Element as SessionWebView;
Control.LoadCompleted += Control_LoadCompleted;
if (view != null)
{
_currentSessionId = view.SessionId;
}
}
}
Above I attach the the load complete handler of the Control which is the actual BrowserControl. Then below I can call the desired JavaScript function in the webpage.
void Control_LoadCompleted(object sender, System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e)
{
if (!scriptCalled)
{
Control.IsScriptEnabled = true;
var param = new string[1];
param[0] = _currentSessionId;
Control.InvokeScript("initWebView", param);
scriptCalled = true;
}
}
This all works perfectly in Windows Phone. In IOS - which is what this question is about - I do something similar with a custom Rendered, And I can get my view and its properties.
However - I am unable to get the Native browser control in IOS to be able to call a JavaScript function on it. This is what I have so far:
protected override void OnElementChanged(VisualElementChangedEventArgs e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (_view == null && e.NewElement is SessionWebView)
{
_view = (SessionWebView) e.NewElement;
// Attach to the PropertyChanged event on the view
_view.PropertyChanged += _view_PropertyChanged;
}
}
private void _view_PropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
// Look for the sessionId propery
if (e.PropertyName == SessionWebView.SessionIdProperty.PropertyName)
{
if(_view != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(_view.SessionId))
{
// if we have a view set the sessionId
_currentSessionId = _view.SessionId;
// Now need Browser to attach to loaded or navaigated events...
}
}
}
Any idea on how I could access the Browser control to call the JavaScript function?

Have you had a look on XLabs HybridWebView? https://github.com/XLabs/Xamarin-Forms-Labs/blob/master/src/Forms/XLabs.Forms.iOS/Controls/HybridWebView/HybridWebViewRenderer.cs
It's based on UIWebView control and uses UIWebView.EvaluateJavascript method. Which native browser control do you use? Could you reveal the full renderer code?

ASP.Net ThreadPool Delegate Callback -- JavaScript Not Firing On Callback Thread

I have searched for several days now, and have tried about every solution that I could find. I know this is something I am not doing correctly, however, I am not sure what the correct way is.
I have an ASP.Net C# web site, running on .Net Framework 4.5. I have a link button on a form, that when clicked fires off a long running process using the ThreadPool. I have a delegate callback setup, and the code does fire when the process is canceled or when it finishes. (I am using the Cancelation Token for canceling the process and the process is Active Reports in case that matters.)
Like I said, everything works great, except for when the callback code fires it does not execute the javascript. (FYI -- this is NOT a javascript callback, just trying to fire off some javascript code when the process finishes.)
Here is the code that i start the report...
string sThreadID = Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId.ToString();
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(StartReport), cts.Token);
Here is the code for the StartReport....
public static void StartReport(object obj) {
try {
OnTaskCompleteDelegate callback = new OnTaskCompleteDelegate(OnTaskComplete);
BoyceReporting.CallReport(boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.OBRO, "THREADING");
if (boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.CTS.Token.IsCancellationRequested) {
boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.SESSION.sScriptToExecute = "alert('Report Canceled By User');";
callback("CANCELED");
} else {
callback("FINISHED");
}
} catch {
throw;
}
}
Here is the code for the CallBack code.....
public static void OnTaskComplete(string ReportResult) {
try {
sReportResult = ReportResult;
if (ReportResult == "CANCELED") {
// In case we need to do additional things if the report is canceled
}
string sThreadID = Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId.ToString();
boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.THISPAGE.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.THISPAGE.GetType(), "FireTheScript" + DateTime.Now.ToString(), boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.SESSION.sScriptToExecute, true);
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.THISPAGE, boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.THISPAGE.GetType(), "DisplayReport" + DateTime.Now.ToString(), boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.SESSION.sScriptToExecute, true);
} catch {
throw;
}
}
Here is the issue that I am having.....
Everything works fine except i can not get the last line of code to fire the script.
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript
Here is what I think is happening.....
From looking at the thread ID, I am sure the reason that the code is not firing is because the ScriptManager code that I am trying to fire in the Call Back event is on a different thread, other than the main thread.
Here is my question(s).....
(1) Am I correct in why this is not firing the JavaScript
(2) How can I (from inside of the CallBack) get this JavaScript to fire? Is there a way to force this to execute on the main Thread?

It's not firing in JS because you're spinning off a new thread. In the meantime, the request has long since returned to the client and closed the connection. By the time the thread tries to write something out to the Response, it's already finished.
Instead of doing it this way, just have your button click (or whatever it is that kicks off the report), inside of an UpdatePanel. Then, you don't need to fire off a new thread.

Here is the cod I used in the C# Code Behind to call the web service to start monitoring this process.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CurrentSession.bIsReportRunning = true;
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "WaitForReport" + DateTime.Now.ToString(), "jsWaitOnCallReport();", true);
MultiThreadReport.RunTheReport(HttpContext.Current, CurrentSession, this, oBRO);
Here is the code that calls the method, using the threadpool, and the method called..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(StartReport), cts.Token);
public static void StartReport(object obj) {
try {
OnTaskCompleteDelegate callback = new OnTaskCompleteDelegate(OnTaskComplete);
BoyceReporting.CallReport(boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.OBRO, "THREADING");
HttpContext.Current = boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.CONTEXT;
if (boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.CTS.Token.IsCancellationRequested) {
boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.SESSION.sScriptToExecute = "alert('Report Canceled By User');";
boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.SESSION.bIsReportRunning = false;
callback("CANCELED");
} else {
boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.SESSION.bIsReportRunning = false;
callback("FINISHED");
}
} catch {
throw;
}
}
Here is the web service method I created to monitor the process, with a built in safety net
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]
public string WaitOnReport() {
try {
HttpContext.Current = boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.CONTEXT;
SessionManager CurrentSession;
CurrentSession = (SessionManager)boyce.BoyceThreadingEnvironment.SESSION;
DateTime dtStartTime = DateTime.Now;
DateTime dtCurrentTime = DateTime.Now;
if (CurrentSession != null) {
do {
// Build a safety limit into this loop to avoid an infinate loope
// If this runs longer than 20 minutes, then force an error due to timeout
// This timeout should be lowered when they find out what the issue is with
// the "long running reports". For now, I set it to 20 minutes but shoud be MUCH lower.
dtCurrentTime = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan span = dtCurrentTime-dtStartTime;
double totalMinutes = span.TotalMinutes;
if (totalMinutes>=20) {
return "alert('Error In Creating Report (Time-Out)');";
}
} while (CurrentSession.bIsReportRunning == true);
// If all goes well, return the script to either OPEN the report or display CANCEL message
return CurrentSession.sScriptToExecute;
} else {
return "alert('Error In Creating Report (Session)');";
}
} catch {
throw;
}
}
And here is the JavaScript code I used to initiate the Web Service Call and Also The Postback
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function jsWaitOnCallReport() {
try {
var oWebService = BoyceWebService.WaitOnReport(jsWaitOnCallReport_CallBack);
} catch (e) {
alert('Error In Calling Report Screen -- ' + e);
}
}
function jsWaitOnCallReport_CallBack(result) {
try {
eval(result);
var myExtender = $find('ModalPopupExtenderPROGRESS');
if (myExtender != null) {
try {
myExtender.hide();
} catch (e) {
// Ignore Any Error That May Be Thrown Here
}
}
$find('PROGRESS').hide();
} catch (e) {
alert('Error In Opening Report Screen -- ' + e);
}
}
Hope this helps someone else out.. Like I said, I am not sure this is the best solution, but it works.. I would be interested in other solutions for this issue to try... Thanks.
