Thanks for the input, hh. I don't think load time is the problem since I
waited several minutes while doing something else and it was still
unresponsive. What I've gleaned from two days of fighting with it is
that if you set the htmltext of a browser widget, it has no URL at all
and so scripted references to anchor links fail.
If you set the empty browser URL to "http://libbrowser_dummy_url/"; and
try to attach an anchor to that, it still fails.
If you tap an existing anchor link in the browser, it will navigate to
the linked text and sometimes the URL will change to
""http://libbrowser_dummy_url/"; by itself, after which using that URL in
a script will work. But sometimes it doesn't change, the URL remains
empty, and I haven't figured out why.
If you load the htmltext from a file on disk, the URL is set to the file
path and it will respond to an anchor link sent via script. This is
probably the most viable solution since I can write the text to disk
first and then load it.
Re: layering. I can't use palettes since this is a mobile app, but
that's good to know in general. What I need is a slide-out panel with a
tree view widget that appears over the html page. It looks like that
isn't going to happen.

The browser widget needs some time after a "reloading" (setting the
htmltext in your case).
set htmltext of widget "browser" to empty
set htmltext of widget "browser" to htm
wait 10 ticks with messages --> may need even more time on preopenstack
set url of widget "browser" to "http://libbrowser_dummy_url/#1234";
