CSS in WebView

[syntax="xml"]Hiya,

I'm having a slightly strange problem, I'm using a WebView widget in a page, when I put HTML in the widget using loadData it works fine, however if I include a <style> tag in the HTML the widget goes blank and doesn't show any details.

The initial code is

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

                WebView oBrowser = (WebView)this.findViewById(R.id.wineResultHTMLViewer);
 
                String szHTML = "<html><head><title>Wine Detail</title><style type=\"text/css\">.moo {color: #000000;}</style></head><body><div class=\"wine\"><div class=\"header\"><h1>1972 Achaia Clauss Nemea</h1></div><br clear=\"all\"/><div class=\"winelabel\">&nbsp;</div></body></html>";
 
                oBrowser.loadData(szHTML, "text/html", "UTF-8");
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

This should do nothing more than display a peice of text in H1 on the page. However it just displays a blank screen, removing the section which says

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

<style type=\"text/css\">.moo {color: #000000;}</style> 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

fixes the problem.

For reference the XML is :-

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 
<LinearLayout
 
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 
        android:orientation="vertical"
 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
 
        <AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/edit"
 
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 
                android:completionThreshold="3" android:height="44px"/>
 
        <WebView android:id="@+id/wineResultHTMLViewer"
 
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 
        />
 
        </LinearLayout>

Any help is apprechiated!

I don't suppose anyone has been able to replicate this problem or seen it before have they?

I've been banging my head over this one for ages now

Thanks!
