HTML Render Tab Does Not Render HTML Response

Sean | Last updated: Jun 21, 2018 03:47PM UTC

I have an issue where the Render tab in the Response section is not rendering the HTML content. I just receive a blank page. However when view the HTML source in the HTML tab, there is HTML content.

Hi Sean, Thanks for reporting this. The current Render tab is very basic and can struggle with modern web sites. We are planning to replace this with a better embedded browser. In the meantime, you can use "Show response in browser" from the context menu.

It appears that for some responses it does render the result but for others is doesn't.

Hello. I am doing SQL labs and test out Repeater tool for modifying querries. But render tab in Response window do not show whole lab page, only about half of it. The rest is cut off. That kind of tool is pretty awesome for easily modifying url request string and sending modified querries, but its a pity render still not working properly even on your own web site.

Hi, As noted on the following page, the Render view displays the HTML content approximately as it would appear in your browser so it may not be a completely accurate reflection of the entire page: https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/options/display
