Support Request: accessing SiteKiosk object model from Chrome

Description

I've created a website to run in SiteKiosk that has a custom logout button which invokes SiteKiosk's object model logout method. If I use Internet Explorer, the logout button works great. If I switch SiteKiosk to use the Chrome browser instead, the logout button doesn't work - it seems like the function is never called.

Does Sitekiosk running in Chrome support the logout function, or any of the other object model methods?

For reference, I'm using this code:

// in the javascript attached to the HTML page:
window.external.InitScriptInterface();

function forceLogout() {
    SiteKiosk.Logout();
}


//on the logout button
<a onclick="forceLogout()"><span aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-sign-out"> </span> Logout</a>

I don't see any error messages in the SiteKiosk log. I'm also running the most recent version of SiteKiosk and Chrome on a Windows 10 64-bit computer.

Thank you for any help!

Please find the Object Model documentation for the CEF Chromium based Browser (Chrome Browser Skin) of SiteKiosk for Windows attached in a separate email (start the documentation with opening the index.html after extracting the ZIP). Please note: This documentation comes as is (without further support). You may also check this example (second example) to see how it generally works: http://devblog.provisio.com/post/2016/05/20/Starting-External-Applications-from-Web-Pages.aspx

Thanks for the quick response, but I think I may have not phrased my question right. I'm not looking to launch an external application. Rather, I'm trying to use the methods described here in the SiteKiosk documentation: http://www.provisio.com/helpconsole/SiteKiosk%20Object%20Model%20Help/en-US/default.htm?index.htm I have no problem using any of these methods with the IE Skin; however, they do not seem to work if I select the Chrome skin. In both instances, I have made sure that SiteKiosk is configured to allow usage of SiteKiosk objects on all of the necessary files and URLs. I also didn't see an attachment or link for the documentation you mentioned about the Object Model documentation for the CEF Chromium based Browser, so I apologize if the answer I'm looking for is there. Thank you!

I have sent the Chrome Object Model documentation in a separate email.

did you find a working solution to this problem? I am trying to do the same thing in Chrome so some code snippets would be really helpful. If I could also get a copy of the chrome Object Model documentation that would be great
