Android WebView not showing a JavaScript section of website

Question

Thanks for reading!

I am using a WebView to show a mobile website. There is a page.html which does the AJAX xmlHttpRequest.responseText to fetch the page content.

I see the entire website except two sections displaying ads.


<div class="top-banner" class="top-rule">
<div id="hp_leaderboard" class="adContainer">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var agent=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var is_iphone = ((agent.indexOf('iphone')!=-1));
if(is_iphone)
{
OAS_AD('MISC1'); } else {
OAS_AD('TOP');
}
</script>
</div>
</div>

I have done


WebSettings = this.page.getSettings(); //page is a WebView
s.setJavaScriptEnabled(); //enable JavaScript

I am fairly new to HTML/JS. Could someone please help?

Thanks!

EDIT: Adding code. Note: The section below and the the <div> section above appears in the <body> tag


<script language="JavaScript"><!--
//configuration
OAS_sitepage = 'www.boston.com/mobile/homepage';
var agent=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();var is_iphone = ((agent.indexOf('iphone')!=-1));if(is_iphone) {
OAS_listpos = 'MISC1,FOOTER,INTRO';
}else{
OAS_listpos = 'TOP,FOOTER,INTRO';
}
OAS_query='Unknown+Terminal';
OAS_url='http://rmedia.boston.com/RealMedia/ads/';OAS_target='_top';OAS_version=10;OAS_rn='001234567890';OAS_rns='1234567890';OAS_rn=new String(Math.random());OAS_rns=OAS_rn.substring(2, 11);
function OAS_NORMAL(pos){document.writeln('<A HREF="'+OAS_url+'click_nx.ads/'+OAS_sitepage+'/1'+OAS_rns+'@'+OAS_listpos+'!'+ pos+'?'+OAS_query+'" TARGET='+OAS_target+'>');document.writeln('<IMG SRC="'+OAS_url+'adstream_nx.ads/'+OAS_sitepage+'/1'+OAS_rns+'@'+OAS_listpos+'!'+pos+'?'+OAS_query+'" BORDER=0></A>');}
//--></script><script language="JavaScript1.1"><!--
OAS_version=11;if((navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mozilla/3')!=-1)||navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mozilla/4.0 WebTV')!=-1){OAS_version=10;}if(OAS_version >= 11)document.writeln('<SCR'+'IPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript1.1 SRC="'+OAS_url+'adstream_mjx.ads/'+OAS_sitepage+'/1'+OAS_rns+'@'+OAS_listpos+'?'+OAS_query+'"> <\/SCRIPT>');
//--></script><script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.writeln('');
function OAS_AD(pos){if(OAS_version >= 11)OAS_RICH(pos);else OAS_NORMAL(pos);}
//-->
</script>

EDIT2: I also tried ChromeWebClient - but turns out it only adds support for JS methods like alert(), prompt(),etc. There is not much documentation except this but the OP seems to have accepted an answer regardless of whether it worked for them. Nevertheless, that solution didn't work for me.

Can someone help me with this?

Please check these lines of code

var agent=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if(is_iphone)
{
  OAS_AD('MISC1'); } else {
  OAS_AD('TOP');
}

Obviously in your case the agent is not "iphone" so the code executed is

OAS_AD('TOP');

It would be useful if you attach that code too...
