Scripts; HTML Widget; "Test in Web Browser (Experimental)" button added

A "Test in Web Browser (Experimental)" button has been added to the Test page of the Scripts form for HTML Widget type Scripts.

This (currently experimental) function launches the HTML Widget in a Web Browser external to finPOWER Connect providing the Message Handler is enabled. It has no reliance on either Web Services or finPOWER Connect Cloud.

Debugging HTML and JavaScript is often easier outside of finPOWER Connect and this new functionality is aimed at HTML Widget developers.

The URL generated can be copied and pasted to different Web Browsers. It will initially be launched in the default Windows Web Browser.

NOTE: Certain actions such as formatting numbers and dates may be considerably slower when testing in an External Web Browser. Chrome in particular seems to run much slower when formatting a lot of data, e.g., when displaying a grid.
