I'm having some trouble with NSAttributedString's initWithHTML method
on Tiger. This worked in an app on Panther, but on Tiger the app
"hangs" (slows down) and the NSAttributedString is not initialized.
I've found a thread on this here: <http://www.idevapps.com/forum/
showthread.php?t=5231>.
The problem comes about when trying to put some HTML from NSData *
data into an NSAttributedString:
NSAttributedString *result = [[NSAttributedString alloc]
initWithHTML:data documentAttributes:nil];
I've tried various combinations of NSMutableData, NSData,
NSMutableAttributedString, init methods, and it basically seems to
not work for what I want to do. Putting a string from a char*
actually did work, but this was raw HTML, not what I want to do.
I made a test app to test basic functionality of initWithHTML:
NSString *coolString = [[NSString alloc]
initWithString:@"<html><head><title>something</title></
head><body>some body text</body></html"];
NSData *coolData = [coolString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSAttributedString *coolResult;
coolResult = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithHTML:coolData
documentAttributes:nil];
NSLog(@"coolResult: %@", [coolResult string]);
This actually works! BUT, when I put it back into my app EXACTLY the
way it is, the app slows down and my NSLog of the result shows null.
So, for some reason, code that works in a test app does not work in
my app.
Trying to debug, we found that connectionDidFinishLoading: gets
called, it does the initWithHTML, and that turns around and uses
"NSHTMLReader _loadUsingWebKit", which then is blocking in a runloop,
thanks Mark D!
Has anyone else seen this? Any solutions? Any pointers?
