www.wf.com blank using android browser

Shows the title graphic, but not the login or option selections. Pretty much just a blank screen. Anyone have any tricks? I'd rather not use Opera or Dolphin just for one site.

Looks like it's flash based so you would have better luck with a 1.5 hero rom.

Why would a mobile web page be flash based? You couldn't view it on the majority of platforms...lame.

I have no idea why it's not working but that's NOT flash based.

Try the main page instead of the mobile site (source of my confusion). They used java on the mobile site, it could have something to do with it.

I have exactly the same issue on my MT3G though at one point it worked. Much better than the regular site as it is optimized for a mobile browser.

Were you using adfree? It's the only thing I can think of...Doesn't work on OpenEclair or new CM4.2.15 either.

Wife just got a droid and it works fine. Strange that it didn't work on an Eclair ROM for me if it works on the droid...

Guess I'm the only one who cares, but FYI, if you use the Steel browser, you can set the user agent to iPhone and it will work. Set it back to Android and no go again.

why doesn't scrolling work some sites?

I notice that on some websites, including the Google Android developer website, scrolling doesn't work using default browser, Xscope, and Dolphin.
Is there any fix for this?

I've run into this on several sites on both the Tab and my Dinc. What I do is zoom in or out just the smallest bit, and then I can scroll all over the place without issue.
I have this issue a lot with Outlook webmail, CNN, Forbes, my local TV stations and New Egg. I do NOT have this problem on ebay, Fox, and youtube. Very strange.

Thanks. I'll give that a try and post back.

Interesting. I can't scroll at all either. I'm testing the standard browser and dolphin on Vegan. The page does scroll just fine on my Dinc running Sky Raider Athena. Not sure why.

It's kind of funny (in an ironic way) that that's a Google site (Google ==> Android) ...
I also tried default, Dolphin, Miren and Xscope. Same on all of them. I thought that Xscope had the best chance of working, because the developer says that Dolphin and Miren are based on default (Webkit, I think), but no luck there.
What is "Dinc" and "Sky Raider Athena"?

Droid Incredible running the Sky Raider Athena ROM. I also tried the OMGB ROM and the age scrolled ok. So I'm not sure why the G Tab won't scroll right.
But yeah...it is funny that its an android site causing problems.

Was that ROM Froyo/2.2? Maybe that's the difference? I kind of think that those pages have a log of Javascript and stuff like DHTML, so maybe the engine that is handling either of those in Froyo is messing up?

Webpage scrolling issue solved(at least in my case)
I know this reply is to an old post, but I recently found a solution to this issue, as I was experiencing the same problem with multiple browsers. Many webpages simply would not scroll without zooming in & out or rotating my phone(Droid 4). The problem in my case was solved by Unchecking/Disabling the "Auto-Fit Webpages" option. This has worked for me using the default browser in Android 4.04 and Dolphin browser as well. I do not see this option in firefox, but firefox seems to not have this issue as predominately as other browsers. Hope this post helps someone!

[Q] How can I open a Web browser link in a new window?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to open a stock Web browser link in a new window? Usually in Android I can choose a new window option after a long press on a link, but on G tablet there is no menu popping up on a long press. I can do it in other browsers, but not in a stock one...
Thanks.

why use stock browser? Use Dolphin Mini, pretty nice in my opinion, and long press does work in Dolphin Mini.

Long press works in all browsers I tried (Opera, Fire Sky) except for the stock one. I like the way it handles flash and zoom, so I'd really like to make long press work on it - without it it is almost unusable.
I also noticed that stock browser goes back to the top of a page whenever I change orientation. Is there a remedy for that?

Long Click

Long click works for opening in a new window in Vegan 5.1 in the stock browser. It actually was one of the main reasons I switched to Vegan from TnT Lite.

Opera now supports flash

The most recent Opera now supports flash experimentally for Honeycomb. Sorry if this is old news, but I did not see a recent thread. My experiences with the new Opera have been outstanding. Flash works great and no crashes in the same places I get crashes with the stock browser.

Can you test hulu.com and see if it works without the Adobe Flash apk hacks?

It did not work for me, however I did speak to soon about the browser being smooth. Its very fluid, scrolls well, and text input is great. BUT touch response is beyond ****ty. I was viewing a slide show and every time I tap the arrow it would zoom in and highlight the button but not navigate to the next page. Clicking links and buttons is far more frustrating than ever imaginable. This could be on me, but I thought I knew how to navigate web pages. Lol

Browser issue - Drop down menu

Hi,
I'm running the latest CM7 with my Optimus 2X, and is using the stock browser. I am having problem with dropdown menus in the browser, especially with my airliners site, www.sas.se. As you see in the image below, all dropdown menus look really funny. I have also tried Dolphin browser, Firefox and I think one more, but they all look the same. Is it the website that is badly coded, or is it a general Android issue? As it is right now, it is impossible to choose anything in any dropdown menus because they don't respond to clicks.
Can anyone check if they have the same problem? Anyone who has a solution?
Thank you in advance,

I am able to select items from the drop down menus on that site with no problems.
Stock rom with Dolphin browser. Can't help you with a fix though. Sorry.

Ok, thank you for answering my post. Wondering if it is something in CM7? Will look more into it.
Cheers,

stock rom and its browser, sorry to report that there's nothing unusual. v10d.

Dropdowns work fine in Firefox for me.
Stock CM7 browser fails though.

Good find! Dropdowns work with Firefox!
But...... Nothing else on that specific site... It won't autocomplete the cities when writing, and it won't (sometimes) show the calendar so it is impossible to change days, which means the ordering system fails...
Thank you for the inputs, everyone!
