webview not refreshing after changing DOM

[hengchu]

I am writing an application with cef in which I get raw access to v8 context, thus the DOM, and I would add elements to the DOM programatically. However, it seems that the webview does not reflect any change I make to the DOM, even though in the logs I could see that body.innerHTML on the DOM object has new code in it. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks!

If you make changes directly to the V8 DOM object then Blink probably isn't notified of them. You can ask on the blink-dev mailing list to see if they have any suggestions.

I'm using cef1 with chromium 27, and I think cef1 still uses raw webkit in that version? Or is it already using blink?

Still WebKit. It's a very old Chromium/WebKit version so you may have a hard time getting a relevant answer.
