Ben and Jim,

On windows I had a problem getting revBrowser to draw the window or if it did draw it would be white but links would be active as Ben states below. However, I was using a windowShape and once I removed any transparency in the image used for the shape it is now working fine.

- To see the revBrowser in Win stand-alones that use custom shaped windows, you need to re-create the window shape PNG and take out all semi-transparencies. What I mean is that all pixels need to be either full color or fully transparent, nothing in the middle.


Once this was done my revBrowser windows act as expected.

To test and see if it actually got the html I use:
put revBrowserGet(sBrowserId, "htmltext") into tHTMLT
That seems to indicate that it gets the html but does not display it
in the image assigned for the browser.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Is there a workaround for it?

Hi Jim,

I think we may have seen this a few times, in a project we're currently working on. Mac OS 10.4, on Intel.

If I'm right (it's not really my project, and I'm out of the office and don't have access to it right now) this isn't whenever the browser is loading a page because a link has been clicked in the page, but only when it is directed to load a page 'from outside', ie by rev code. In our project this only happens when we first open the browser (ie we start the browser pointing at a particular page on a site, and then leave the user to navigate around that site). That might account for why we've seen this much less than 5-10% of the time - would that accord with your experience?

Also I have a notion, which I can't now check, that when the blank white page is displayed, links in it are still hot - ie as if the browser has simply missed an opportunity to update the screen, but is "in it's own mind" displaying the page.

If that is correct, does revBrowserRedraw work around the problem?

- Ben
