Problem with innerHTML on iPhone

[Julio Rabadán González]

Hi, all.

I need help, desesperately. We are developing an app for iPhone and Android with PhoneGap and we are facing a very distressing problem. My app is big. It has a lot of css, background images and js files. And the problem is that setting content thru innerHTML property is failing very often on iPhone.

Which are the best practices to avoid this problem?

Is there any workaround other than setting a timer? It also fails sometimes, when it reaches the retries limit.

It is very annoying, and probably any client will reject and app with this kind of fail. (I'm sure my one will do).

Any happy and glorious idea?

Many thanks

Do a search on this group. It's been discussed and there is a workaround.

Thanks, Shazron.

I saw the workaround (using a setTimeout to try it again). I have integrated it in my code, but it also fails sometimes when it reaches a number of retries.

How many retries are you setting typically?
I set a minimum of 20, sadly

[Julio Rabadán González]

20? Ok... now i'm using 5 :)
And the timeout? I'm using 50 milliseconds. 20 retries will take 1 second...

I was think also about using appendChild instead of innerHTML, with DOM objects. Have you tried this?

[Shazron Abdullah]

Im using 50ms as well... Typically it won't get to 20...

Tested and working perfectly on real device.
Many thanks for your help!
