Anchor links in HTML newsletters not working in iOS8 and above

I used to receive daily HTML email newsletters with links anchor down to detailed content. The links were working fine in all the previous versions. After upgrading to iOS 8, the internal hyperlinks (anchor links - both named as well as id) are not working. It takes me to nowhere and shows an error message id. This seems to be very specific with iOS 8 and there is no HTML code support to overcome this issue.
Can Apple fix this issue at the earliest as it is very difficult to scroll up and down every time to read the contents of the email newletters?

Anchor links to accordion panels not working properly across browsers

Hi everyone,
I need some help to figure out why my anchor links to specific accordion panels on another page are not working properly across browsers.
I have a Map page which has tooltips on mouseover on the site markers. 15 of the tooltips have "Click here for information" anchor links (although only 14 are currently linked) which, in theory, would take you to the Nurseries page where the specified accordion panel would be opened with the nursery entry appearing at the top of the new browser window.
Here are the links to the Map page and Nurseries page, respectively:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/map_v6.html
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html
I've tested the anchor links on IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari, and have received varying results. In most cases, the anchor links worked perfectly on two of the browsers, while on the other browsers, the correct accordion panel is opened but the nursery entry does not appear at the top of the new browser window. Anchor links using Safari and Google Chrome fared better (10 out of 14 links worked properly, and 8/14, respectively), whereas when using Firefox and IE, only 3 anchor links worked properly. The target audience for this website will be using IE and Firefox, so I would appreciate any help to figure out how to tweak the code so that the most, if not all, anchor links work properly on these two browsers in particular.
Here's an anchor link which worked perfectly in IE, GC, and Safari, but in FF, the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window.
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem
http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem [To access the anchor link on the Map page, mouseover the third green dot from the top of the map (Tooltip--Location: Mangatarem) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window in any of the 4 browsers:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to "Mindanao" at the bottom of the map and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Brgys. Amabel, Bongolanon, Imamaling, & Manobisa; Magpet; North Cotabato) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the anchor link worked properly in GC and Safari, but the entry didn't appear at the top of the browser window in IE and FF:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to the small island north and a bit west of "Mindanao" which is called "Bohol" and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Bilar; Bohol) and then click on the first "Click here for information."]
Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

Link in HTML Portlet not working

I have a HTML Portlet which has the following code
Back to Top
This link works fine in a stand alone html file. On click of 'Back to Top', it takes to top of the document. But if the code is embedded in html portlet, it takes to previous page accessed. I understand that the portlet is not able to understand that it needs to go to top of the object. How to fix this?

Hi Sakthi,
When you hower over the Back To Top link, what does it show in the status bar? Is it just prepending #top to your existing browser link? Or is it pointing to the previous page?
Secondly as Ido mentioned, you could always embed an anchor on your page template and refer to it.
As far as javascript is concerned, you could try something like document.scrollTo(0,0);
I am not sure if it works on IE and Firefox the same or not, but you could give it a shot.
thanks,
Harsha

HTML Scrolling not working on Phone and Tablet versions

Hi - I've created a website across the 3 different platforms. My client has requested a blog - I've used Tumblr - I inserted this HTML for it:
<iframe src="http://no4styling.tumblr.com/" width="791" height="450" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="no" scrolling="yes" style="border:0px;"></iframe>
This HTML works on the desktop version but not on the Phone and Tablet version. Please can someone let me know where I have gone wrong??
Thanks

Hi,
I suspect there is some custom script on your site, which might be creating the issue. Please refer to the following link http://forums.adobe.com/message/5688844#5688844
Please check for any such script as mentioned in that post and try removing it.

Printing an iframe with pdf using javascript is not working in IE8 and above

I have a problem with printing and Iframe with PDF in IE 8 and above
Following is my javascript:
var urlValue="";//Path of the file to be printed
var div = document.getElementById("printerDiv");
div.innerHTML = '<iframe src="' + urlValue + '" id="frame" name="frame" style="width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe>';
frame.focus();
frame.print();
This same thing is working fine in other browser but for IE is just not invoking the print dialog.
Also I tried to get the frame.print(); on load of the frame but even that is not working exactly as that way it print the parent window in output.
Few things I tried like:
1) div.innerHTML = '<iframe src="' + urlValue + '"
onload="this.contentWindow.print();"></iframe>';
2) frame.contentWindow.focus();
frame.contentWindow.print();
3) window.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')['frame'].onload = (function () {
frame.focus();
frame.print();
I need to get the print of only the content which is in Iframe which I am binding in "printerDiv" by javascript.
Any perfect/different solution from which I have tried then please post here?
Thanks.

PDF documents are hosted in an ActiveX or netscape plugin control which have their own printing functions.
Start>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences - to adjust what functionality the PDF document viewer addon displays (menus etc).
Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons
make sure you have both the x86 and x64 versions of your PDF reader Active X control installed and enabled. I would recommend also that you update to the latest version of the vendors' (Adobe?) plugin.
Possibly you have disabled scripting of ActiveX controls in the IE security zone that your parent page maps to. Also there is an IE security zone feature that prevents navigation to a domain in a zone of lower integrity.
Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
when asking developer related questions it is helpful if you can include a link to your website.

Internal Links in HTML Document Not Working Correctly in PDF

I have an HTML document that contains internal links (basically a Table of Contents). When the document is displayed in a browser, the internal links work correctly. However, when I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create a PDF version from the HTML source, the links don't go to the correct place when clicked. It almost appears that they are off by one, e.g., link 7 goes to anchor 8. I can send the source document for you to look at if you email me at eharris -at- synnovation.com. I am not expert in HTML and perhaps the links/anchors are not done correctly when I create the HTML document. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

This one has the same problem. For instance, "Anchor1" as <a name="Anchor1"> appears 13 times. I am sure that your problem is that Acrobat is going to the last occurance that is just before the first one. As I scan through the file I find similar results for all of the anchors. When I used Tidy, it reduces about 1350 errors to about 474, but that is still not too good. The validator is flagging a lot of identical IDs as well as unrecognized attributes (like ONSELECTSTART). The attributes correctly accepted by body are
Attribute Specifications
* BACKGROUND=URI (background image for document)
* BGCOLOR=Color (background color for document)
* TEXT=Color (text color for document)
* LINK=Color (link color for document)
* VLINK=Color (visited link color for document)
* ALINK=Color (active link color for document)
* ONLOAD=Script (document has been loaded)
* ONUNLOAD=Script (document has been exited)
as listed on htmlhelp.com for HTML 4. There may be some new ones in HTML 5, but I did not check.
I am not looking at all of your HTML in detail, but there appears to be a lot of unneeded things based on the error messages from the validator. Many browsers will let you display the stuff (even Acrobat), but there may be errors that crop in when you do not expect it or on some other browsers that the one you check. Thus again, you should use a validator. If you are only off a few tags that might be fine, but when it is in the 1000s, there is an issue. It would also be good to break your page up into parts. It is good practice on web pages for each page to be not much more than one screen. That is often exceeded, but 59 screens of info (on my screen) is a bit much. The TOC is definitely needed in that case, but just was well go to a sub page just as well and make the info easier to track. A PDF (as you are trying to get) could be made of the entire system for those that want it all in one bit. Bill

Links in HTML TextField not working well on iPad

Hi there;
I've got a TextField with html in it that has anchors that call out to Flash functions using the href="event:" mechanism.
It works 100% fine when I test my fla on my Mac... ie. Clicking on the links is responsive, and all works as expected.
When I publish this to the iPhone or iPad, the links work, but only after I click them 2 or 3 times. It *seems* like the stroke of the font is the only clickable part.... It feels like clicking in the center of a letter "O" wouldn't work, and clicking the strokes of the letter "O" would...
The links are very big... and there are about 20 of them on the page.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I've tried using css styles to set display:block, but that didn't seem to help!
Thanks,
Brad

had this all typed in earlier today just when we had a major power outage and lost it, plus restraining myself from tossing the IPAD and sticking to Android mobile!
anyways, per your message, tried to rework my app here as well and this method seems to work for me with item still to be worked out per notes below.
overview:
using TLF CS5.5
use TouchEvent listener on my containers to return textline being touched
once touched, loop through all spans and if parent is a link, get the textline associated with that link
if match then jackpot, return,
some rough code below,
where this fails is when my link rambles over several lines and it's only recognizing the first line of the link. Otherwise, all links in all containers respond well.
     function taphandler(event:TouchEvent): void {
       var leaf:SpanElement;
       var link:LinkElement;
       var absoluteStart:int;
       var matchTextLine:TextLine;
       leaf = SpanElement(TLF2.textFlow.getFirstLeaf());
       while (leaf = SpanElement(leaf.getNextLeaf())) {
         link = leaf.getParentByType(LinkElement) as LinkElement;
         if (link != null){
           absoluteStart = link.getAbsoluteStart();
           matchTextLine = link.getTextFlow().flowComposer.findLineAtPosition(absoluteStart).getTextLine(true);
            if(matchTextLine==event.target){
              //JACKPOT! use link.href
              return;
i welcome any input to code (i think i miss out if i have a link in first span which I should not have but..) and how to get at the second, third, fourth,.. lines of the link. hopefully someone in the TLF area can explain the quantity and hierarchy of the objects of the links that are spread over many lines since from a user perspective we just see text, mind you high quality and very intelligent text and Adobe should be commended.
UPDATE:
as it worked above, a sample textline with plain text and 3 links, clicking anywhere on the textline always gives me link#1 unfortunately.
seems like I need a for loop just before the matchTextLine that iterates i=(link.parentRelativeEnd-link.parentRelativeStart) times, then must do a GetAtomBounds LocalToGlobal compare to Stage.x then modify the line if(matchTextLine==event.target){ to if(matchTextLine==event.target&&thisLinkIsAtX==true){      ouch I hope I don't have to do all this..

CSS Button Links in HTML email not working in TB

Greetings,
Our company is creating an html email for customers and we are noticing the CSS button links don't work when viewing in Thunderbird 31 and 32 beta.
Does TB require unique coding to get these to work?
Any assistance would be appreciated...
-- Paul

From the point of view of a user who views received email messages in Thunderbird, it doesn't support scripting. Straight links should work and and you can attach a link to an image.
Note that Thunderbird does NOT offer active links in the Compose window. So however you create it, you won't see it as the recipient does unless you save it and view it as a draft.

"Open link in new tab" not working with Safari and new Yahoo Mail won't open in new tabs. Yahoo says it is a Safari issue. I don't think so.

Any ideas?
Works fine in classic Yahoo mail. But in the "new" Yahoo mail, there is not even an option to open in new tab when I right click the message to be opened. Interestingly enough, I can right click open to new tab on any other link on the same page that the emails are listed in.
Anyone encounter this? Have a solution?
Thanks.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try Yahoo / tabs. If it functions as it should, move the .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari. Try again.

Html Gui not working

Dear eXperts,
i want to enable sap gui for html. For this i've activated the following services from the transaction SICF:
1). /sap/public/bc/its/mimes
2). /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
3). /sap/public/ping
Also, on se 80->utilities ive set Integrated ITS under the publish tab.
after that i've also published "webgui" and "system", as complete service.
now when i try to Test the service in SICF, the browser says:
=================================================
The Web site cannot be found
The Web site you are looking for is unavailable due to its identification configuration settings.
Please try the following:
Click the Refresh button, or try again later.
If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Click the Back button to try another link.
11004 - Host not found
Internet Security and Acceleration Server
=================================================
note:
I've set the domain controller's IP as alternate DNS!
I've checked the parameter value, and the host name is also correct.
I don't understand where i've made a mistake. Please help me!
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick replies !!
@Durairaj:
The browser is showing the correct link since im going directly through the "Test Service" from transaction SICF.
and yes, i do use the proxy server to connect to the internet. I've tried blocking the Domain Controller IP in the Proxy Exception list, and what i assume by "ABAP host" is DEV (in my case ) so yes, i've tried placing that in the exception list too but none is working
@henning:
Im sorry but im a newbie, and i don't know much about icman.However ive tried eliminating the DNS and proxy server too...but the issue is still there.
I've also tried disabling my proxy in total, but no result.
@problem:
Well, i would like to share some thing important here. We have enabled the web gui for Production server, and its working fine. but I'm unable to access that either from my system.

Home button in HTML Help Not Working

My Home button in HTML Help Not Working.
Also the Home option from the Options menu does not work. I receive the "This program cannot display the webpage" error.
I have the correct file name (titlepg.htm) in the Advanced Windows Ptoperties "Default" field and the "Home" field. However, I still receive the "This program cannot display the webpage" error.
How can I correct this situation? Thanks, your help is appreciated!

Can you post a couple of screen captures please?
One where you show the Project Explorer with the desired topic in view. Another where you show the dialog where you specify the Home page destination.
Another thing you may wish to try is to define a totally new window, assign the values there and ensure you point to the window in the Single Source Layout recipe.
Oh, and one other thing. Are you using RoboHelp HTML or RoboHelp for Word?
Cheers... Rick

Welcome guy -
Unless you are using Spry menus as a learning experience, you should move forward to a menus system that will display properly on the millions of portable devices that won't work with Spry which was deprecated 2 years ago.
Many are using JQuery menus or pure HTML/CSS menus.
If you wish to continue your Spry for learning experience, we'll be glad to assist; please let us know.
By the way, your submenus are not showing because you need to add the red value to this rule in your vertical CSS
ul.MenuBarVertical ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible{
width: 220px;

Flash buttons not working in IE7 and Chrome

Here's my website where the problem is occuring www.bakercreative.co.uk
As you can see the Flash buttons animate, but when clicked they should go to a new html page.
I've tested it in IE8 and Firefox without any problems but it's not working in IE7 and Chrome.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Could it be the html code or the flash file itself?
Thanks

Hi, Glad you were able to solve that issue with the buttons and Chrome. Any small thing can cause big problems!! LOL
I'm sure IE7 will test out ok, IE6 did Your website is very nice and has a variety! I hope it all comes together for you.
Thanks,
