Send data to external webview

I'm trying to send some data from app.js to an open webview (external url, example: http://mysite.com/file.html), without success. I've check through many questions and answers and tried different solutions with Ti.App.fireEvent and Ti.App.addEventListener without any good success. I did however find a solution that did this with a local html-file some time ago, but weren't able to recreate this for an external.

app.js

Ti.App.fireEvent('helloWorld', { data : "Hello World" );

http://mysite.com/file.html

Ti.App.addEventListener('helloWorld', function(e) 
{   
    // do something with e.data
});

doesn't seem to do anything.

Oddly, this only works in the iPhone simulator but not in the Android simulator (1.6 API and 2.2 API). In Android, you get the dreaded "Force Close" button.

Solved the problem by using evalJS app.js

web.addEventListener('load', function() {

        var data = "some data";
        web.evalJS("testJS('" + data + "')");

});

http://mysite.com/file.html

<script>
    function testJS (data) {
        alert(data);
    }
</script>
