Hi,

In my program I have a screen that opens a web browser, we use this to configure a ethernet module.
The issue is I am having once we go into the screen the web browser appears and covers the Button that is used to return to the back screen and trigger a macro.

I did this exactly in a previous program I did and the button would remain infront on the web browser.
I have tried the pin feature but I believe this is to maintain dimension not position.

Any ideas what might be causing the issue ?

Hi @gary14,

Unfortunately this is a limitation of the PLC Web Browser. Please see note 8 located within section 13.55 of our user manual below:

Wow I did not know that.

Its funny that this is the first time this occurs to me, I have done the same exact thing on other projects and never had the issue.

Do you think if I do a macro that will make the button appear after certain amount of seconds will it respect the buttons position in the front ?

I don’t think that this will work, but one solution may be to display the “PLC Web Browser” as a popup window, which will allow you to use the “Close” option to close this window when finished. To display this as a popup window:

  1. Design a new window with the following configuration:
    Note: The window size will depend on the resolution of your display. To accomodate the title bar and close button, you can use the same width, but decrease the height by 20.

  2. Create a function key to display the popup window at the location (0,0):
