It looks like the <html> tag functionality is broken in the SWF10 runtime of OpenLaszlo 5.0 (trunk) for some Webkit based browser (Chrome and Safari), but there are other problems as well. I've modified the code a bit to do some testing:
<canvas>
<button text="OpenLaszlo" onclick="ht.setAttribute('src', 'http://www.openlaszlo.org')" />
<button y="40" text="test.html" onclick="ht.setAttribute('src', 'test.html')" />
<view y="200" width="100%" height="300" bgcolor="blue" onmousedown="res.apply()" onmouseup="res.remove()">
<resizestate name="res"/>
<dragstate name="drg"/>
<text width="100%" bgcolor="gray" onmousedown="parent.drg.apply()" onmouseup="parent.drg.remove()">Drag here</text>
<html id="ht" src="http://www.openlaszlo.org" x="15" y="15" width="${parent.width - 30}" height="${parent.height - 30}"/>
</view>
</canvas>
Here are the results I'm seeing with this code for the SWF10 runtime:
- InternetExplorer 9, Chromium 18 and Opera 12: Both pages (local test.html and OpenLaszlo) are displayed within the iFrame.
- Firefox: Remote website OpenLaszlo.org displays, but local test.html is not shown.
- Safari 5.1 and Chrome 21: Both pages are not shown within the iFrame
I would file an OpenLaszlo Jira bug, and send a message to the laszlo-dev developer mailing list referring to this discussion.
