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 ?

This VB code works:
  s = "Web site : <a href=""http://www.sqlnotes.net"" target=""_blank"" Title=""www.SQLNotes.nethttp://www.sqlnotes.net"">www.SQLNotes.net</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; "
  s = s & "<a href=""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"" target=""_blank"" Title=""www.SQLNotes.nethttp://www.sqlnotes.net"">www.SQLNotes.net</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; "
  s = s & "<a href=""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" target="_blank" Title="www.SQLNotes.nethttp://www.sqlnotes.net">www.SQLNotes.net</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://www.sqlnotes.net/Forums/tabid/54/Default.aspx" target="_blank"  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: WebBrowser.zip

 
Maybe it depends on IE version... Please check if attachment works for you.

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,
 
Thanks, it indeed depends on IE version :( We fixed it for 12.0 release.

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"" target=""_blank"" Title=""www.SQLNotes.netwww.SQLNotes.nethttp://www.sqlnotes.net"">www.SQLNotes.net</a> &nbsp; &nbsp; "
 s = s & "<a href=""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

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
