The fact that the devices are running older operating systems will likely be the reason

Hi Tim, thanks for the quick reply. That would really suck if the version number is why, but I find it slightly hard to believe that something like this gets fixed between 5.0.0.442 and 5.0.0.469.

Also, can you point me to the example you said you added to the "Some Cool UI Examples" thread? I'm wondering if it's because of the HTML element I'm using (button).

Hi Tim,

Regarding:

Issue: In the widget, the browser will not render the full background color to where your content does not exist.

Solution:

Add the following to something like onLoad

document.body.style.height = screen.height;

Is this solution valid? I have tried it as instructed but it has no impact!?

Thoughts?

PS: Thanks for all of the advice on this forum!!!

document.body.style.height = screen.height;

Have you tried:

document.body.style.height = screen.height + 'px';

Hi Tim,

That did it, specifying the 'px' value fixed the problem. Thank you!!!

You are a great help, we appreciate all of the effort that you are putting into getting us up and running.

Installation of Blackberry WebWorks SDK for Playbook requires installing the Adobe Air 2.5 SDK.

If you get an error message "Incorrect Air Version Installed" in the Webworks installer make sure the path you chose for the Air SDK does not have a space in it.

Just spent about 20 mins working this one out

I've been using Chrome as a test platform for some aspects of my application, but Chrome seems to be very buggy, for instance I couldn't get webDB to work within my app, could get data in and out in no time outside of my app but no matter what I did within my application I could not get it to work, I've spent abuot a week on this, and ended up abandoning it and going down the road of a pretty convoluted key system for the key value store, as well as json files that index relavent keys for quick lookup, highly ineficient and not scalable at all. I eventually got mad at this and decided to comment my javascript framework (about 600 lines of code) one method at a time until I found the culprit.

The culprit it turns out was an alert  in the Window onload event, it was there just to tell me that the javascript has loaded OK and has no errors, removing the alert has fixed all DB problems.  

Therefore my advice is that in lew of proper tools for debugging your app don't treat Chrome as gospel, its just as failable as anything else.

The +'px' should be added to this solution.  It doesn't seem to work without.

ie)

document.body.style.height = screen.height+'px';

Problem:

How to use Database on BlackBerry smartphone or Playbook

Solution:

On my github account you can find simple example how to use it: https://github.com/ddluk/WebWorks-Database

Information to Note:

Database usage requires the device to either have a built-in eMMC card (common on Bold and Storm devices) or an inserted SD card. 

Playbook have a built-in memory.
