Well, the drawing is simplistic.
Item things like Name : Joe Number of items: 25
In an html table.
Maybe an image or 2.
Themeable using custom CSS supplied by the user.
My own rendering system will just draw attributed strings.
Maybe parse css to get rendering attributes.
Probably add some way to organize and layout the items.
See, this is what html is for :)
Maybe I just parse the html myself? Its only 20 lines or so,

Yes I have seen that example.
I don't want to have a million WebViews, that would be insane.
Hence me moving ONE around.
Creating and caching images seems to be a better route for you in
this case (since I'm assuming that yes, you do need to render web
content and no, you don't need navigation, just rendering).
I have found a fix though. If call setNeedsDisplay on the WebView
before drawing it it renders completely.
Without seeing your code, it's tough to say why this is
necessary, but is it possible the web content wasn't fully loaded
(it's asynchronous) by the time the view was displayed?
The other issues I have are NOT solved though, so for now I am
writing my own rendering system, since I'll have it done before I
get a reply here I think :)
Regarding the other issues (getting it big enough not to scroll),
I seem to recall a discussion about scrolling (position getting/
setting, I think) on the webkit list that ended in a 'the web view
manages its own scrolling and there's no mechanism for managing it'
type of answer. Again, I may be wrong.
However ... if you can write your own HTML rendering system that
compares even remotely with WebKit, you should join the WebKit
team! That'd be quite impressive. If on the other hand you only
need a few basic drawing aspects, my previous point remains: do you
really need this for rendering actual web content or just to do
some drawing you know how to do with HTML?
