Webview->setHTML issue?

[Zantagor]

Have I stumbled across a Webkit bug here? This used to work in 4.4.3 and now it won't in 4.5.1

We have a document that we want to display page by page, the whole document is inside an XML file.

in 4.4.3, I was able to do a ->setHtml(PageData, baseUrl); correctly.

now, in 4.5.1, it only works once, subsequent setHtml() are met with nothing, the initial view is still there and the new HTML isn't shown at all!

Anyone knows if this is a Qt issue, or a limitation, or something new I need to do that I'm missing here?

What I don't get though, is that the Qt Previewer sample, this works fine.

So I'm obviously doing something different, though I can't see what it is, since the sample only calls the setHtml like I'm doing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Well, I figured out what was the problem,


my baseUrl was containing an anchor.


"http://www.url.com/mypage.html#something"

in 4.4.3, seems that setHTML didn't care about the anchor being there.
in 4.5.1, it seems it doesn't care the 1st time, but another setHTML will be totally ignored.
once I removed the anchor, everything worked as intended.

Now I have to test on mac, see if this still holds up.
