WebView's don't support being layer-backed. But there is a private WebUIDelegate method that will let you achieve what you want:

- (void)webView:(WebView *)sender didDrawRect:(NSRect)rect;

I have an app that plain stopped working between Leopard and Snow Leopard. This app relies on placing a WebView component in a Core Animation layer view hierarchy (i.e. "Needs Core Animation Layer" flag is turned on for this view and its superviews), so that I can draw annotations over the web content with a mostly-transparent 'glass view' in a layer above.

What I've found so far is that if I turn off the "Needs Layer" flag on the WebView and all its superviews, then the web content is visible. If I leave this flag on however, then all I get is a plain white area, with no web content visible (though this continues to be loaded).

I have logged this as a bug already - mostly because its a behaviour change between Leopard and Snow Leopard, and I have not found any documentation that indicate this is an intentional change. However, it _might_ be intentional, or possibly I was already flying by the seat of my pants to have it working in the first place. In any case, perhaps somebody has some concrete knowledge on the subject...?
