HTMLPane hide/show

[yavery]

Hi,

I have an HTMLPane as a member for a VLayout, which in turn is a member itself of a Canvas' children collection.

I've initially configured the HTMLPane as follows:

	var htmlPane = HTMLPane.create
		({
			ID : 'myHtmlPane',
			width : 200,
			height : 200,
			autoDraw : true,
			showCustomScrollbars : false,
			httpMethod : 'GET',
			contentsType : 'page',
			contentsURL : 'http://my-app-url/'
		});

Whenever I call hide() and then show() on the container Canvas, the HTMLPane reloads itself from the initial contentsURL ...

The problem I have with this, is that the HTMLPane is also being manipulated directly to perform HTTP POST
queries and re-issuing the initial HTTP GET, resets the current state in which that IFRAME was, before hide() was called.

Is there a way to not have the HTMLPane re-load itself from the server upon show() being called ?

Could I overload hide() and show() and cheat hide() so that it sizes/moves the HTMLPane out
of the browser viewport without actually hiding it?

Thanks for you help!

By the way, the autoDraw property is now set to false, but that doesn't
seem to fix my problem ...

All I want is hide() and show() to just hide and show U/I-wise, without
actually re-loading the page from the server.

Anyone have any idea on this ?

Thanks,

I figured it out ... If this may help anyone else experiencing the same/similar behavior, here's what my particular problem was ...

I was issuing a Canvas.remove(htmlPaneLayout) on the parent canvas which contained the HTMLPane component. This had the
undesired effect of having the htmlPane fetched from the server when show() was called subsequently on the HTMLPane.

I removed that line of code and simply do a hide() + show() and it's all good now.

Regards,
