I never used the BrowserField (want to, never got to it yet) but I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that you could need to enable CSS/JavaScript to access some features which is understandable. Because of this the Browser (on 5.0 where those are enabled by default) can display it as expected but the BrowserField they are off by default and thus won't show up properly. How do you do this? As stated before I haven't used the BrowserField so don't know, sorry.

*I really have to catch up on learning some of these thing...*

Thanks for your reply, as you suggested i will try for enablilng the CSS/JAVASCRIPT.

but in the html we are not using any of the CSS/JAVASCRIPT. it is just raw HTML.

At least in OS 5.0 you can't make the background transparent. The BrowserField inherits from Field a method to set it but doesn't work (not transparent, not any color); but it does have a method to set the color of the background. It seems like the BrowserField will always draw the background with the color that you specified or default white so you can't make it transparent.

I've tried using CSS, transparent image background, etc. and nothing works.

The only workaround I know is taking a snapshot of the screen below and use it as background BUT it will not work if you put the BrowserField in a PopupScreen and it needs to be scrolled...

It will work if you draw the background properly, taking into account vertical and horizontal scrolling position.

Take a look at the comments in the following article:

Use a background image in the application screens
