Crazy HTML preview in web viewer

[Tony D.]

I have a script that populates a field with HTML and then web viewer will display the page.

However, there is a slight delay in the web viewer displaying the HTML as it should - so it displays the HTML as text in the web viewer window.

While it only displays it for a half-second, it will be annoying to my clients (as it has been annoying for me).

I have tried to freeze the window until the very end of the script, and then I do a refresh, but it still shows up.

It also happens as I scroll between records (as the HTML field is a global field) - so is this just a web viewer glitch?

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony

Hi Tony,

I had the same problem.

What I found out was, that the "WebViewer-displays-html-as-text"-thing depends on the lenght of the html-source.

ULRs can only have (I think it was) 2k of text. Maybe that's the problem.

I solved it, exporting the HTML-source to the harddrive and set the webviewer to that temporary HTML file.

Regards,

Horst

I wasn't aware of the 2k HTML limitation. So, I will stick with just loading it from the hard drive.

Thanks
