In the ActiveX Suite, the WebBrowser control InnerHTML property is limited to 255 chrs . I hope this will be fixed soon...
Are there any workarounds using ExecWB or something else ?

Hi,
Just tried 350 chars - works without problems.
Can you show html/code you tried ? ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

This VB code works:
s = "Web site : <a href="" http://www.sqlnotes.net - http://www.sqlnotes.net "" target=""_blank"" Title="" - www.SQLNotes.nethttp://www.sqlnotes.net"">www.SQLNotes.net</a > "
s = s & "<a href="" http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx - http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx "" target=""_blank"">Forums</a> " Me.txtWebSite.innerHTML = s But this does not:
s = "Web site and more text to show if there is a problem : <a href="" http://www.sqlnotes.net - http://www.sqlnotes.net "" target=""_blank"" Title="" - www.SQLNotes.nethttp://www.sqlnotes.net"">www.SQLNotes.net</a > "
s = s & "<a href="" http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx - http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx "" target=""_blank"" Title="" - Forumshttp://www.sqlnotes.net"">Forums</a > " Me.txtWebSite.innerHTML = s I use the Unicode versions
In text mode, this does not work:
Web site and more text to show if there is a problem : <a href=" http://www.sqlnotes.net - http://www.sqlnotes.net " Title=" - www.SQLNotes.nethttp://www.sqlnotes.net">www.SQLNotes.net</a > <a href=" http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx - http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx " Title=" - Forumshttp://www.sqlnotes.net">Forums</a >
But making the first text shorter works. I've tested and it stops working after exactly 259 chrs

Hi, Again Both work with ANSI and Unicode. Here sample project: https://forum.codejock.com/uploads/20080318_055746_WebBrowser.zip - WebBrowser.zip Maybe it depends on IE version... Please check if attachment works for you. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

I tried your sample and it displays blank in the top one and "Page cannot be displayed" in the bottom.
I use IE 6 Win XP SP2 all updates applied
Using ActiveX .Unicode.v11.2.2

| I noticed the same limit of only displaying around 250 characters. Thanks for bringing this up. I am getting the same results on Oleg's sample project (blank top and "Page cannot be displayed" on bottom). I am also using IE 6 with Win XP SP2. |

Hello,

OK. Going back to my original post, is there a workaround ? (using ExecWB or a link to the DOM ?)

Hi,
try this as workaround
Private Sub Form_Load()
WebBrowser1.Navigate "about:blank" End Sub Private Sub WebBrowser1_DownloadComplete() s = "Web site and more text to show if there is a problem : <a href="" http://www.sqlnotes.net - http://www.sqlnotes.net "" target=""_blank"" Title="" - www.SQLNotes.netwww.SQLNotes.nethttp://www.sqlnotes.net"">www.SQLNotes.net</a > " s = s & "<a href="" http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx - http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx "" target=""_blank"" Title=""Forumshttp://www.sqlnotes.net"">Forums</a> " WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerHTML = s End Sub ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

That works fine.
When loading many different strings however, I'll need to use some global variable to track which string to load. Not ideal but workable
Thanks
