[webkit-help] Windows - loadHTMLString() not loading/using stylesheet from html page

Thu Feb 24 08:48:34 PST 2011

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your response. Is there a way to turn off/workaround this
security feature on Windows?
We are using the same API --> loadHTMLString() on Mac OSX and it loads the
html content and stylesheet without any problem.

Thanks in Advance,
