Webclient tabpanel initial form load problem

Classic Servoy
1

I have a problem with a form that has a tab panel with three tabs in the webclient. In the smart client, the form and it’s tabs load perfectly every time. In the web client however, the first time the tab panel displays a tab, the content is garbled (elements are incorrectly sized and in the wrong locations). If you select ether of the other two tabs and reselect the incorrectly displayed tab, the tab now displays perfectly and there are no more problems until the solution is reloaded. The only thing special about the tab form is that it has 3 html area elements in it.

I’m not seeing this problem with any other forms and tab panels in the solution. Is there a known problem with webclient initial display of a form with html pane? I’m currently running servoy 5.0.1 (same problem on 5.0.0) on OSX 10.6 (snow leopard)

You said you were using 3 html area in your form, are you using an external css stylesheet?

Because it could well be that the first time the CSS are not properly loaded.
Just a thought.

I am using a css in the resource file. Is there anything I should be doing on form load to make it load properly the first time in the web client. Like I said, it always works perfectly in the smart client and it also works fine in the web client once the user changes to another tab and then returns to the original tab.
