This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-2479 <http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-2479> --- Description --- When using the following link to a local HMTL file and clicking a link to another local file, the new page doesn’t load. For example: “c:\\pages\\index.html” is written in the address bar in the Qt browser demo. The page loads but when a link inside is pressed; the new page is not loaded properly. With “c:/pages/index.html” everything works perfect. On Tue Jul 22 13:56:37 2008 qtsupport wrote: - How to reproduce: 1. Start the demo browser in Qt 4.4 2. Copy the files from task 220074 to a directory(i.e. c:/pages) 3. Load the page typing “c:\\pages\\index.html” in the address bar. 4. Click on the link - Expected result: New page should load. - Actual result: A blank page Contents: Or use this code(four files): Testlinkclicked.h class testLinkClicked : public QObject { Q_OBJECT public: testLinkClicked() {}; testLinkClicked( QWebView* w ){ connect( w, SIGNAL( linkClicked ( const QUrl & ) ), this, SLOT( showLinkClicked() ) ); } public slots: void showLinkClicked(){ qDebug("Link has been clicked!"); } }; qtest.cpp int main(int argc, char **argv){ QApplication qapp(argc,argv); QWebView* view = new QWebView(); /* * uncomment these lines to see if link is clicked */ // view->page()->setLinkDelegationPolicy( QWebPage::DelegateAllLinks ); // testLinkClicked test( view ); /* * works: absolute path with forward slashes */ QString l_urlString = QDir::currentPath() + "/index.html"; /* * does not work: the slash before the html file is a backslash! * * effect: link acts as being clicked (changes color) but index.html stays the current page */ // QString l_urlString = QDir::currentPath() + "\\index.html"; /* * does not work: all slashes are backslash * * effect: blank page is shown */ // QString l_urlString = QDir::currentPath().replace('/', "\\") + "\\index.html"; qDebug( "%s", qPrintable( l_urlString ) ); QUrl l_url( l_urlString ); view->setUrl( l_url ); view->show(); qapp.exec(); } Index.html <html><head><title>This is page 1</title></head><body><h1>this is page 1 (index.html)</h1>Click here to go to <a href="page2.html">page2</a></body></html> Page2.html <html><head><title>This is page 2</title></head><body><h1>This is page 2</h1></body></html>
Fixed in 4.6.0
