QTextBrowser not processing CSS properly

Question

I am having problems with rendering HTML with QTextBrowser. It does not process some CSS properties such as tr height, table borders, etc. For instance,

This does not work: <table style=' border: 1px solid black;'> This does not work: <tr style='height: 10px'>

The code above DOES work on Google Chrome 31.

Is there an alternative for this, or is there any trick for solving this kind of issues? Using QWebView could be a good choice but it does not provide an append() method.

Could you please suggest me something?

QTextBrowser supports only a subset of HTML and CSS.

If you need full support use QWebView, you can emulate appending with something like this:

QString html = webView->page()->currentFrame()->toHtml(); //or mainFrame()
html += "Something to append";
webView->setHtml(html);

I will try the QWebView solution but, as I guess, performance will be slow when dealing with large HTML code. – Didac Perez Parera Aug 21 '13 at 13:15
If it's slow, try Qt5, there's a new Webkit and V8 Javascript engine from Google Chrome. – headsvk Sep 09 '13 at 14:23
