Hi Kirupa ,  
I enjoyed your youtube talk on WebView .  
I am having trouble with a simple browser program ,

Trying to use electron ipc communication :  
in renderer.js  
go.addEventListener(‘click’, () =\> {  
ipcRenderer.invoke(‘navigate’, url.value)  
})  
and in main.js

Program runs with no errors .  
But when I click on ‘GO’ button , nothing happens .  
Can you take a look at it :

Should I not be using app.on & invoke ?

Thanks for your help…
