Press F5 inside the Intro page in Eclipse . 
IE refreshes the URL (about:blank) - causing a blank page to be displayed.

setText is used to render html in memory.

We should probably block default IE accelerators when URL is about:blank so 
that the content of setText is not cleared when the user presses F5.
