inject javascript to Qwebview by pressing a button outside Qwebview

Question

I tried running this but nothing happens.

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_2_clicked()
{
    ui->webView->load(QUrl("javascript:alert('hello world')"));
}

But it works if i load javascript it from an html file.

<a href="javascript:alert('hello world');">Click here to say hi</a>

I know I can run javascript from an html file but, my question is how can i inject javascript to a webview using a button

Answer 1

Try QWebFrame::evaluateJavaScript().
