Span Tags in HTML

Mon Feb 9 22:40:17 CST 2009

Greetings again,

The RevBrowser external works great in Metacard, even as far back as  
2.7.4.  Nonetheless, I'm trying to pass in my own html document  
instead of a real web page and it doesn't respond.  So, this works fine:

       put revBrowserOpen(tWinID,"http://www.google.com") into  
sBrowserId
       set the BrowserId of image "BrowserImage" to sBrowserId

But this doesn't:

       put "<html><p>This is an example.</p></html>" into myHtmlDoc
       put revBrowserOpen(tWinID, myHtmlDoc) into sBrowserId
       set the BrowserId of image "BrowserImage" to sBrowserId

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ray Horsley
