Issues running Responsive HTML5 project in IE 7 and 8

Hello,
I recently published my first help project using the Responsive HTML5 format. Despite some issues with a corrupt screen profile template that led to some initial display problems (font in header not displaying properly), all seemed to be working OK with the project.
I've recently learned from our QA department that the help file does not display properly in IE 7 or 8, which we are responsible for supporting. A number of different errors get generated when attempting this (see below).

Has anyone experienced issues like this when trying to run a Responsive HTML5 project in IE 7 or 8?
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you can provide.
Sincerely,
Dave

I believe it's a question of which CSS, HTML and javascript/jquery versions are supported by which browsers, plus Adobe having to draw a line in the sand somewhere.
For example, IE7 was released in 2006 and superseded in 2009, so it won't understand any CSS or HTML developed after that (or not much anyway). And JQuery was developed with specific minimum browser versions, so if Adobe picked JQuery v2 (http://jquery.com/browser-support/ ), then it probably won't work with IE7 or IE8 (which I suspect is why Adobe lists IE9 as the minimum supported version).
This link at the bottom of the jquery page provides good information about the CSS supported by the different browsers: CSS - Contents and compatibility
Some more background information, just for reference:

Hope that helps a little.

  • No Search Results page in Responsive HTML5 Output.

    Hello,
    I am using RoboHelp HTML version 11.0.3 and have just finished my second help project, which I need to publish in Responsive HTML5 format. I had already published one project for some new software designed to run on iOS devices using the Responsive HTML5 format for that as well. Despite some issues with the Theme1 screen layout being corrupted, which I was able to resolve by importing another screen layout, I was able to get that project released. When I compiled this latest project, however, I get several errors stating that "The Search Results widget is not allowed in the Topic Screen layout page. No Search Result layout page is present in the screen layout - the search textbox will not work as expected."
    Long story short, when the project is compiled and I view the result, there is no search control to open a search page see first image below). Instead a search field is displayed at the bottom of the initial page (see second image) and sure enough, if I enter a term in there and click the search button, I get an index of all the files in my project (as opposed to a proper list of results).
    I'm not sure why this is happening when I'm literally using the same exact screen profile as in the other project. I'm experiencing other display/formatting issues as well like some of my headings not displaying properly, the text in the header not displaying properly, and so on (these are things I experienced with the original corrupted profile, but this is the NEW profile I imported to resolve those issues). The main issue is the search page though.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this and if so, can you offer a solution. I need to get this project properly compiled and released.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
    Dave

    Hi Willam,
    Sorry, not sure what happened with the previous post.
    That’s what I did to begin with. Since I knew that layout worked for me and took care of the issues with the corrupt (Theme1) layout for the other project, I imported that into the current project. There seems to be something wrong with the layout or the project itself, though, now. Whenever I compile the project I get multiple errors stating the Search result widget isn’t allowed in the Topic screen layout page. I even created a completely new project, imported all my topics from the previous project, and imported the layout again and still it keeps giving me the error that the Search result widget is not allowed in the Topic screen layout page.
    I don’t think this has anything to do with iOS, since I’m seeing the issues when viewing the help file on both a laptop and PC; haven’t even viewed it on a device yet. At any rate, I just don’t understand why I’m getting all these errors, having all these issues with the Responsive HTML5 format. It’s been especially frustrating since I thought I had already resolved the layout issue.
    Any other ideas??
    Thanks,
      Dave

  • RH11 Responsive HTML5 Rendering Delays?

    I am using a trial of RH11 to investigate upgrading from RH9. We currently produce WebHelp but we're also thinking about trying Responsive HTML5 output since our application runs in IE and also Safari on iPad (the Webhelp on iPad, even that produced in RH11, has some issues with parts of the search tab being cut off from display...thus the thought to try Responsive ouput).
    In the trial output of Responsive HTML5 used in IE, we experience delays anywhere from 3 to 5 sec up to 20 sec sometimes (usually less than 10 sec) as we use the interface. For example, when help first opens up and begins to display its content and interface components, there can be pauses until the content is finally displayed in the browser. Another noticeable delay time is anytime we happen to adjust our browser size on our desktops -- for example, maximize or downsize browser to fill up various amounts of the desktop screen so that we can see how the help layout adjusts itself given the amount of browser space available. This is in IE10 and 11. I did not expect such overhead or delays when trying out that help format. Webhelp ran from the same server doesn't have the delays.
    Has anyone else experienced these Responsive HTML5 delays? If so, have you found any work arounds or settings in your help project or browsers that either contributed to the rendering delays or helped reduce the delays? I assume all the scripts that run behind the scenes are a factor. The delays occurred whether I used one of the standard screen layouts for the help or had made some adjustments to the layouts such as to its color scheme. With the delays we're experiencing now, the Responsive HTML5 help isn't as appealing an option as I had hoped.
    Karen

    I grabbed a few screens of a report today showing durations. In this session, I opened help, waited for it to load, then began using the contents, and ended with a search on a single word. Yes, the longest durations were the HTTP requests (for images and for toc). Most of the delays I noticed seemed related to TofC, including some where I would click on a book to expand it and nothing happened, so I needed to click again (maybe my first click was before the page was done loading and I hadn't realized it, jumping the gun before contents tab was ready to use?). The other screens show the bulk of the rest of the report, which were for script evaulations and then painting/rendering.
    Regarding bandwith -- might be the case for me, since I work remotely and am accessing this all via our VPN. But there is a person in our office who ran the help for me while in the office and also was seeing delays (the help in this case resides in the folders of an app that is housed on internal server). My next step is going to be putting the help on our web server and see if the delays still occur there.
    Something to note is that when I run this help locally from C drive, there are also some delays -- most noticeably within the table of contents (for example, click on an item such as a book or sub-book and nothing happens so I wait a second or two and click again and it responds).
    One final question in case it's relevant -- this help was produced off an old RH9 webhelp project that I opened/upgraded in the RH11 trial. Could that be a factor? Should I try a fresh project with fresh topics and TofC?
    Appreciate the time you are taking to share our thoughts on this matter,
    Karen

  • Need help with Responsive HTML5 screen layout in RoboHelp HTML 11

    I have a few questions/issues regarding screen layouts for Responsive HTML5 output in RoboHelp HTML 11.
    First off, I decided to just use the Theme1_Standard layout that came with the program (only other default option was Theme2_Government) and started customizing the layout. I originally added a company logo to the 'Header' component in the Customization dialog, but have since decided to remove it. I can't seem to do this from the dialog, so I tried just deleting the image file from the whole project. The file is gone, but the logo is still there. This is only displayed in the header when a topic is displayed, it does not appear in the header at the TOC, Index, Search screen, etc. How do I get rid of this???
    Secondly, the text in the header for the topic screens appears differently than the one on the screens for the TOC, Index, Search, etc. In the former of these, the header is displayed in maroon text in a much smaller font, similar to that used in the topics. In the latter, the topic is displayed based on what I configured in the Layout Customization dialog; much larger in white text on a black background. In each case the heading text serves as a link to the default display topic shown when the help file is launched, which is fine. However, how do I get the header to be consistent across all screens (topics and TOC, Index, etc. alike)???
    As a result of these issues with the Theme1_Standard layout, I'm trying to import a different Responsive HTML5 screen layout than the two provided within RoboHelp HTML 11 (Standard and Government). I did some digging in the program help and found another layout I'd like to use (Theme3_Black.zip) at RoboHelp screen profiles and layouts. I tried importing the new layout, but it's looking for a .SLZ file and the only one in the files that came with the ZIP file is SLZConfig.xml, and I don't think that's what I need, though quite honestly, I don't know.
    I extracted the contents of the ZIP folder to a folder in the !ScreenLayout! folder within the RoboHelp project, but when I open the project, I don't see Theme3_Black as an option. I need to figure out how to import this screen layout because the color scheme matches the one used in the program for which I am writing the help. How do I import and apply this other screen layout???
    Any tips, tricks, or guidance on any or all of these items would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks much in advance,
    Dave

    Item two of the original post is also something I am having issues with:
    "Secondly, the text in the header for the topic screens appears differently than the one on the screens for the TOC, Index, Search, etc. In the former of these, the header is displayed in maroon text in a much smaller font, similar to that used in the topics. In the latter, the topic is displayed based on what I configured in the Layout Customization dialog; much larger in white text on a black background. In each case the heading text serves as a link to the default display topic shown when the help file is launched, which is fine. However, how do I get the header to be consistent across all screens (topics and TOC, Index, etc. alike)???"
    We have the text toggle between red, white and blue depending upon the topic selected. In the customize Selected Layout we have the title color set to white. It seems to think that it is a link and I would like to know how I can force the text to be white and to stay that way no matter which topic is selected.

  • Does Responsive HTML5 have an option to force the output to be lowercase?

    Using RoboHelp 11.0.3.268, I'm testing the Responsive HTML5 layout as a potential upgrade from our current WebHelp SSL. The one thing I cannot find in configuring the SSL is the option to force the output to lowercase like what is offered in WebHelp and other SSLs. This is a critical project requirement because our team authors on Windows, which is case insensitive, and we publish help output to UNIX web servers, which is case sensitive.
    Thanks,
    Alan

    Also, I should add this. As long as everyone is authoring in RoboHelp, there really shouldn't be issues because RoboHelp "has your back".
    I believe what that option is intended to prevent is a situation where someone may be using perhaps Notepad or maybe even an app such as CoffeeCup HTML Editor to edit the content. And when creating links, if you were to create a topic that was named MyTopic.hTm, if you created the link as mytopic.htm, of course it would break on a UNIX system. And I'm guessing you already know that. So the RoboHelp option just changes all the names and the links to lower case to prevent breakage. But if all are working in RoboHelp and not hand coding links, you are probably totally safe. In fact, I'd be shocked to see that RoboHelp would actually have allowed creating any broken links.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Bookmarks of a Responsive HTML5 output as part of an overall tree structure

    With its Responsive HTML5 output, unstructured FrameMaker 12 can create a bookmark tree.
    Is it possible to tie trees (bookmarks) of multiple Responsive HTML5 outputs in an overall HTML tree structure?

    Hi Herbert
    Thanks for reporting the issue.
    For this problem, I will suggest two solutions
    1. Either create a master book containing all your books / fm documents and then publish, you will get integrated Responsive HTML5 output.
    2. Or use TCS and in RoboHelp use merge project Adobe RoboHelp 11 * Merging Help projects
    Please let us know if you find any issue in that.
    Thanks

  • Why I cannot preview my responsive layout project with captivate 8?

    I can not preview my responsive layout project in captivate 8.  It just stop on the first page.  Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    Do you get the issue every time you create a responsive project? Can you just crease 2-3 slides with smart shapes and text caption; publish and check if there is still any error?
    There are chances that the issue might be with the browser, which browser are you using to preview the content?
    Chrome version 36 has similar issues with captivate html5 output. Please find the following workaround if you are using Chrome.

  • Generating either Multiscreen or Responsive HTML5 from command line (RHCL)

    Has anyone had any luck getting either of the HTML5 default layouts to generate using RHCL.exe with RoboHTML 11?  We try to keep the source files checked in, then generate the output at build time. 
    To test, I generated a project based off the "Knowledge Base" template, then updated the the associated screen layouts with the screen profiles.  For Responsive HTML5, that was "Theme1_Standard", and for Multiscreen HTML5, that was "Desktop_Knowledge".  Both of these layouts generate fine through the RoboHTML UI, but when generated from the command line, they fail.  With Responsive HTML5, RHCL does not acknowledge that the layout exists.  For Multiscreen HTML5, RHCL crashes (null reference exception) when processing the project's index.  (Keep in mind that I haven't modified the index from the template at this point).
    I'd be happy with either of these two layouts working with RHCL, as we're still fairly early in the process of creating the online help.  Our only requirement is that it is web-based and cannot use frames (like WebHelp layout does).
    thanks,

    I just tried and I got the same error as you :-( It seems Adobe didn't implement Responsive HTML5 in the command line. I would qualify this as a bug. Please report it to make Adobe aware of this: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38 Adobe has been fixing many bugs in the past two patches. So perhaps they can fix this in an upcoming patch. And the more people report a problem, the more likely it is to get fixed.
    One way around this issue would be to use a script. Call RoboHelp from the command line to open a script and let the script generate the output. Not the best way to go, but at least you can make it work...
    Kind regards,
    Willam

  • Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

    I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
    It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop. 
    I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode. 
    Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
    all other Office programs work seamlessly. 
    I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug. 
    I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem. 

    This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
    A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
    https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.
    And 193K results on Bing:
    http://www.bing.com/search?q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&go=Submit&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=there+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+to+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=4cb023c1fbd94ec2bba9821b095f21f2
    Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
    stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
    Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them. 
    Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
    they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
    Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine. 

  • How to stop popup window using phone layout for display - Responsive HTML5, RH11

    Hello,
    I'm using the new Responsive HTML5 output in RH11. For some of my hyperlinks, I want to use a pop-up to display the linked topic. In the output, the pop-ups work, but they are automatically displayed using the phone layout, with the associated navigation buttons at the bottom, the help title, and so on. I don't want this - I just want a plain popup window. So, I tried to add a Screen Profile, set to 400 x 500 pixels exactly (thinking that this is bigger than a phone, but smaller than a tablet). I also added a corresponding Screen Layout. In the popup properties, I set the popup size to be 400 x 500 pixels. I guess there is something else I need to do to get this to work... but I don't know what that is. (I tried creating a new Window on the Project Set-up tab, and I tried creating a different master page. These things didn't work.)
    Can anyone tell me if what I'm trying to do with these popups is just a bad idea and it won't work well with certain browsers?
    Thanks!
    Alexandra

    I am confused as the responsive layouts are one size fits all, that is the point of them. You have one layout that morphs according to window size.
    Screen Profiles are only used within Multiscreen HTML5 layouts where you can map screen profiles to different adaptive screen layouts, such as desktop, tablet and phone. That mapping does not apply to responsive layouts.

  • Oracle Sql Query issue Running on Different DB Version

    Hello All,
    I have come into situation where we are pruning sql queries on different DB version of Oracle and have performance issue. Let me tell you in brief and i really appreciate for your prompt response as its very imperative stuff.
    I have a query which is running on a DB of version 7.3.4 and it takes around 30 mins where as the same query when run on 8i it takes 15sec., its a huge difference. I have run the statistics to analyze on 7.3 and its comparatively very high. Question here is, the sql query trys to select data from same schema table and 2 tables from another DB using DB link and 2 other tables from another DB using DB link.So,how can we optimize this stuff and achieve this run as same time as 8i DB in 7.3. Hope i am clear about my question, Eagerly waiting for your replies.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Difficult to be sure without any more detailed information, but I suspect that O7 is in effect copying the remote tables to local temp space, then joining; 8i is factoring out a better query to send to the remote DBs, which does as much work as possible on the remote DB before shipping remaining rows back to local.
    You should be able to use EXPLAIN PLAN to identify what SQL is being shipped to the remote DB, If you can't (and it's been quite a while since I tried DB links or O7) then get the remote DBs to yourself, and set SQL_TRACE on for the remote instances. Execute the query and then examine the remote trace files, And don't forget to turn off the tracing when you're done.
    Of course it could just be that the CBO got better,,,
    HTH - if not, post your query and plans for the local db, and the remote queries.
    Regards Nigel

  • I have a manual that contains headings and index entries that contain less than and greater than characters, and . The Publish to Responsive HTML5 function escapes these correctly in the main body of the text but does not work correctly in either the C

    I have a manual that contains headings and index entries that contain less than and greater than characters, < and >. The Publish to Responsive HTML5 function escapes these correctly in the main body of the text but does not work correctly in either the Contents or the Index of the generated HTML. In the Contents the words are completely missing and in the index entries the '\' characters that are required in the markers remain in the entry but the leading less than symbol and the first character of the word is deleted; hence what should appear as <dataseries> appears as \ataseries\>. I believe this is a FMv12 bug. Has anyone else experienced this? Is the FM team aware and working on a fix. Any suggestions for a workaround?

    The Index issue is more complicated since in order to get the < and > into the index requires the entry itself to be escaped. So, in order to index '<x2settings>' you have to key '\<x2settings\>'. Looking at the generated index entry in the .js file we see '<key name=\"\\2settings\\&gt;\">. This is a bit of a mess and produces an index entry of '\2settings\>'. This ought to be '<key name=\"&amp;lt;x2settings&amp;gt;\" >'. I have tested this fix and it works - but the worst of it is that the first character of the index entry has been stripped out. Consequently I cannot fix this with a few global changes - and I have a lot of index entries of this type. I'm looking forward to a response to this since I cannot publish this document in its current state.  

  • Render time Issues with 5.0 project in CC 12.1

    This is actually a copy of a post I had in a different discussion entitled "render time" but this now
    I did some extensive testing to try and see why my render times in CC were so much slower that 5.5 and I found some very interesting results.
    The original project was created in 5.0 and opened in 5.5 and rendered, it contained video footage and graphics. When it was render in 5.5 it rendered in 4:27. When I opened it in 12.1 and rendered it was 18:00. I then started turning off layers and my render times shot up. basically layer 12 had two animated masks on colored solid. With this off it took 8:30
    I then imported the project into 12.1 and saved it, reopened it and with layer 12 off it took 5:11. So importing and saving the project made a difference. Now I recreated layer 12 in 12.1 from scratch and turned it on and my rendered time was 6:50.
    So there is something going on with projects being converted from earlier versions - Now to really test this theory I would need to recreate the project from scratch and compare to the 5.5 times.
    To further test this we did the same sort of testing with a different comp and found similar results - the render times were different if it was imported vs. just opened. But the big thing we found with this comp was a layer where we were moving large stills with some z space. It looks like the 3d from 5.0 was causing a major slow down in CC on layers that has AE 3d applied.
    I think the major take away is if your comp was created in 5.0 and you need to modify it, then make changes in 5.5 or 5.0 or be prepared to recreate any layers with more than simple key frames.
    Just to also answer some other questions - in rendering to prores vs. animation or dvcprohd the times were almost the same. The animation was slightly longer but that makes sense cause the file was much bigger.
    I also found that with 32 gigs of ram my magic number was 11 reserved for other apps ...
    Hope someone can jump in and add some light to this
    This was all done on a 2010 mac pro 2.66 w 12 cores 36 megs ram running 10.8.4 - I have 5.5 and CC and the 12. 1 updates are installed and the video card is an NVidia 575. Mulit threading was on and in 5.5 - 9 Megs is reserved and in 12.1 - 10 is reserved

    I've experienced similar problem with Java Web Start twice.
    Also using JRE version 1.5.0_06 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM and Browser Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows XP (Problem was the same with Java 1.4.2)
    My application was signed and launched via JNLP. The security warning popup was shown in the windows taskbar, but it was hidden. Using maximize in the taskmanager, I was able to see the dialog but it was blank. The problem was persistent, although I did not try as many times as 20-30 :-)
    On both occations the problem occured on multi (3) screen systems, which I suspected to be the problem (Java has historically had some issues regarding multi screen systems), but now I'm not so sure.
    Did you find a solution / cause?
