Description Jens Fransson CLA 2005-08-11 13:10:57 EDT
Browser.setText(String) does not work for me. Example to reproduce the bug:

package com.fransson.test.swt.bug.browser;

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.RowLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

/**
 * <b>Bug in SWT 3.1</b><p/>
 * The method {@link org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser#setText(String)} seems to
be broken in SWT 3.1.
 * The <code>Browser</code> widget simply does not display the HTML source given
to him.
 * The HTML source used in this example is not 100% correct, but it should
display anyway -
 * just like with all browsers on the market.
 * It is used for brevity since a test with a correct HTML source produces the
same problem.
 * <p/>

            System.out.println("browser.setText(): " + ok);
          }
        });
      }
    });

    shell.setSize(320, 200);
    shell.open();
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
      if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
        display.sleep();
      }
    }
  }

Comment 1 Jens Fransson CLA 2005-08-11 13:15:25 EDT
Running the program produces the output shown below. Although setText() returns
true, there is no HTML rendered in the Browser.
The HTML source obtained via right-click-->View Source shows only: "<HTML></HTML>".

Output of the test program:

--- SWT Library Information ---
Platform: win32
Version : 3138
browser.setText(): true

Bizarre, your snippet works fine for me on win2000 and XP.  The IE versions on 
them are 6.0.2800.1106 and 6.0.2800.1106.xpxp2.050301-1526, respectively.

This problem happens consistently for you?  And what is your IE version?  And I 
assume for the eclipse version that you meant 3.1 right?

Yes, it is the release version SWT 3.1.
It is the standalone download of SWT only, as I do not use the Eclipse IDE.

I suppose it must have to do with the IE version installed on my system. 
It is a German Windows XP with all latest software updates installed from
Windows Update. The info dialog of the Internet Explorer shows:
Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

The bug is always reproduceable.

A fix was added to 3.2.1 for this, see bug 141678.  Marking report as a duplicate.
