Systems, methods, and computer-executable instructions for supporting custom functions within an application. An application add-in is received that includes a custom function and a custom function location. The application is available across multiple platforms. The custom function is also available across multiple platforms. The custom function is registered within the application using the custom function location. A request to invoke the custom function is received within the application A custom function implementation is downloaded from the custom function location. The custom function implementation is executed. A return value is received from the custom function implementation. The return value may be displayed within the application.

Cross platform custom functions

A client system interacts with a sandbox environment to host a web browser control within the sandbox. A webpage URL, a URL to a script file to be injected into the webpage, a name of the script method to be invoked, and the event to look for to trigger the script method sent to the sandbox environment from the client. The sandbox environment downloads the script file from the cloud using the script URL and loads a rendering engine with the specified webpage URL. The specified script file is subsequently injected into the loaded webpage at the sandbox environment. After the specified event is fired, the sandbox environment triggers the specified script method and stores the results within a results array, accessible to the client system.

Retrieving content from website through sandbox

A set of protocols support a common script object model for document interaction that crosses document types and runtime environments. A cross frame browser-based protocol may provide a secure, scalable, and asynchronous mechanism for transmitting script object model requests to document hosts and managing responses to developer code in standards-compliant browsers. A hostable runtime Application Programming Interface (API) may provide a secure, scalable, and asynchronous protocol to transmit script object model requests across process boundaries to document hosts back to developer code with minimum performance impact on the document host.
