RH10 and Windows 8 Bug with DHTML

I reported the following bug today:
Concise problem statement:
All DHTML effects in WebHelp—with the sole exception of drop-down and expanding hotspots—fail to execute on CLEAN Windows 8 systems (upgraded Windows 8 systems from Windows 7 do not seem to be affected), regardless of default browser.
Steps to reproduce bug:
Set up any DHTML effect other than drop-down or expanding.
Save topic and click “View Selected Item”.
The following script error is thrown: “Unable to get property ‘alpha’ of undefined or null reference” — the error points to the ehlpdhtm.js file (in my case, line 4233, char 2).
Results: No DHTML in the WebHelp output execute, with the exception of drop-down and expanding text.
Expected results: DHTML displays as developed (and yes, "Update DHTML effects in topics" was run). It is important to note that all these effects display as expected when run from a Windows 7 machine.
I noticed this after being forced to format and reinstall my system drive, on which I'd previously done an in-place upgrade to Windows 8. There was no issue unitl I'd done a clean install of the OS, implying that something carried over from the Windows 7 setup to prevent the error.
I've tested this against IE10, Firefox, and Chrome with the same results: DHTML effects (such as Fly-in) don't work and, worse, whatever the effect is attached to does not display.
If anyone else is having this issue, it would be good to report it. If anyone has a possible fix or workaround, I'll be glad to be a test monkey.
Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem with Robohelp 9 on Windows 7. My error message says: The value of the property "TextPopupInit is null or undefined, not a Function object"
I click Yes to the question "Do you want to continue running scripts on this page" and the page previews fine. I open the page in a web browser, and it also works fine.
Any help greatly appreciated.

  • RH10 and Windows 8.0/8.1

    Hi Everyone,
    Please can some advise what the current state of play is with RH10 and windows 8.0 and window 8.1. 
    i.e does it work properly?
    I am expecting to be asked to document a package running under window 8.0 or 8.1 shortly wondered if my copy of RH 10 will still work ok for this? Our main output format is web help.
    Secondly when is the next version of RH due that is compatible with office 2013?
    Thanks

    Thanks Willam, it was more about the version that ships than the versions that can be installed that I wanted to clarify.

    Hi Doomtrooper,
    When you updated your iPhone 4S and iPad3 to iOS6, what exactly do you mean when you can't access the iTunes store? Have you checked your connection to the network?

  • Compatibility of windows xp with labview and windows 2000 with labview

    I have a very weird situation that I am not sure even I can decribe it clearly. The thing is we have two set of equipments. One: windows 2000 with DAQ card, PCI card, the other is windows xp with same DAQ card and PCI card. All the labview software are the same version. All the program are the same. But the program on windows xp has a really weird problem. Sometimes, the signal is wiped out when I run the program and sometimes it doesn't. I am curious whether the two windows system have different order sequency. Is it clear? I am really sorry about the description since the problem is really strange. Thank you very much!

    With more research, I think I probably find the problem but I don't know how to fix it. Here is how the program work. In Calibrate LC.vi, there are four buttons of "set". When you hit set button, the program will aquire 10 data points which will form the signal we need. But the problem is when I hit set button, no signal at all.So I am thinking the program didn't aquire any data in. I uploaded the Calibrate LC vi and also the Aquire Data vi. Does anyone can give a suggestion how on to fix the problem? Also, I double checked the PCI card. The interrupt request for PCI 6036E in windows2000 computer is 19, that in windows xp computer is 21. Will this be a problem too? Thanks!

  • Potoshop's tools and windows disappears with Leopard's Spaces.

    Dear friends,
    I was having very annoying problem with PS CS3 and spaces. Interface disappears when you focus a program that is on other space. This was with Photoshop CS3 and Flash CS3 trials. I'm very sad about this. Instead of optimizing the process its actually making it more annoying. For photoshop I used "tab" key twice to hide/show the interface, then it gets back. For flash, F4 does the same thing. But it's annoying.....
    Mac Pro 2 x 2.8GHz Xeons with 2GB RAM.
    I've seen a couple of guys having the same thing. Anyone found a solution?
    Thanks.

    I've noticed that same issue if I use the dock icons to act as application/space switchers but only on Adobe apps most notably Photoshop but occasionally Illustrator too it seems. I've adopted a different solution which seems to solve that options bar/tool box disappeaing act. In System Preferences/Exposé there is an option to use hot corners. I've assigned Spaces to my lower right corner. Flicking my cursor to that corner gives me a graphic image of all my spaces and windows open in each. In that image I can select my Photoshop space and don't experience the interface disappearing issue.

  • N8 and mms bug with ufone pakistan

    yes, i m also facing same problem regarding mms on my n8 (ufone pakistan) so hoping to be released new firmware fixing this bug as soon possible.

    you tend to find that this is generally a service provider issue , contact your service provider and make sure you have mms on your account , I had a similar problem with Vodafone UK a while ago and it took several calls to get it restored ! Very much doubt it is anything to do with the handset , good luck and be persistent with your service provider !

  • Dual Boot Linux and Windows problem with HDDRecovery

    Hello
    I`m using dual OS Windows Vista and Linux open SUSE distribution on Toshiba Satellite A350-10z, everything is working great except Windows Recovery. I have Linux (boot:dev/sda6) and Windows Vista (boot:dev/sda2). Windows has 2 partitions, Disk C and D, on Disc D i have HDDRecovery folder. After F8 i using the repair option and waiting, then the massage is displayed "The installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer".
    Before i installed Linux the Recovery worked fine. Is there a chance of using the HDDRecovery from Windows Disk D or i have to boot from Recovery DVD?

    In my opinion Linux has muddled up the partitions or MBR and possibly this is the reason why the HDD recover does not work seems the Recover DVD is your option ion order to set the notebook back to factory settings.
    By the way: I didnt install the Linux on my notebook but I use Linux using the Knoppix Live CD

  • Search engine windows bug with greek words

    Hello,
    I have searchable .pdf-files in greek and english language. The folder search of windows xp lets me search for greek words only about 3 times. Then it finally only works with english words. "No results" shown for any greek word. With .doc-files it still works. (ifilter prob?)
    If you kill the explorer.exe process and restart it again it works again, but same problem after a few searches.
    This seems to be a reproducible bug because I have it on all XP-Computers I use.
    What do I have to do?

    Try performing a system repair as this will often fix issues after an upgrade - This will factory reset your phone
    Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
    Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
    If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

  • Problems with Labview and Windows XP with error -214721786​5

    Hello. Im a new beginner in Labview and am having a problem with a error message
    I dont understand. Im running Labview on a pc-logger with windows XP.
    The program is written by a guy on my university, and logs voltage from
    a solar cell panel. He doesnt have the time to check in to it, so Im supposed to
    find out what's wrong.
    The error message is as follows :
    Error -2147217865 occured at Cmd Execute.vi->DB Tools Insert

    problem.

    Hi Chrisdee,
          (.. not to discount what TimoS has suggested, however...) 
    Embedded in the error information you provided:
    ... Can't open file : 'solcelledata.MYD'.
    Sounds like the program needs this file?  Has the program been moved to a new location?
    just a wild guess!
    Cheers

  • Printer Sharing and Windows Sharing with Windows Vista

    Today I tired setting up a printer sharing network over my linksys wireless router. I turned the printer sharing on and the windows sharing on my mac. Then I launched my notebook with vista on it and installed Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3. Once the installation finished I ran the wizard and installed the shared Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer.
    Once I finished the wizard I gave the printer a go.
    I tried printing a word document on my Vista machine using the new wireless set up and nothing happens the printer queue gains the document spools it and then it's gone. Then, I tried using Vistas Sharing set up. After setting up another printer icon (the same printer). When I go to print I get an error message.
    Also when I try accessing my shared folder from my vista machine. I use my Username and password for the login. The computer responds that my Mac Mini's username and password is incorrect. Thus, I cannot fileshare between by Mac Mini and my Vista Laptop
    What can I do to get my printer sharing and my windows sharing set up to work.
    (also, my Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Printer is hooked up to my mac mini through USB).
    Please respond
    Thank you

    I did not succeed using the PC’s name - even though the workgroup is set correctly.
    Might try Bonjour for Windows...

    Which may also cure the Printer Sharing problem.
    Oh. make sure Printer Sharing IS NOT set on the Mac, if it is turn it off & reboot.

  • Bonjour Printer Sharing and Window XP with Canon Multifunction

    Hi,
    I have shared my Canon MP170 and Installed Bonjour for Windows 1.03 on my Windows XP box and it works.I can print to the printer.
    However the print quality is strange. It looks like it is in draft mode, where colors or black are not a full saturation. I converted to "Black and White" in the Win XP printing preferences, however it just comes out with a purplish hue, which tells me that it is using color to print black.
    Also, even though in the Bonjour setup I selected "Generic/Postscript" driver, the Windows XP printer driver states "HP Laserjet 4550 PS". Is this OK?
    I have searched for a solution but I have no idea what could be the issue. I am hoping I just need to tweak the Windows XP Printer config a bit.
    Any ideas?
    Mac Mini - Intel Duel Core   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks,
    But after about 3 test prints from either the Windows "Print Test Page" or from other applications like IE, the output is all washed out and unsaturated.
    Is this what I am to expect? I should have bought a network printer instead of a USB printer!
    Crap, I threw the box out already.

  • I have a dual boot with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7, with linked profiles. When I upgraded to 4.0, my tabs and settings would show in Windows, but not Ubuntu. How do I fix this?

    This worked when I first installed and booted in Ubuntu. When I booted in windows, my tabs which were open in Ubuntu opened in Wndows. But, when I booted back into Ubuntu, all of my tabs and pinned tabs were gone, as well as the firefox button. My bookmarks and firefox background remained, but none of my tab settings.

    Norton is due to release a patch for both IE9 and Firefox 4 in May. See [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-compatibility-with-IE9-and-FF4/td-p/420020 Norton compatibility with IE9 and FF4]
    To revert to 3.6.16, do the following.
    * Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] and download it to the desktop.
    * Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    * Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    * Finally run the installation file you downloaded.
    Actually, Firefox 4 does have a means of identifying untrusted sites. See [[Site Identity Button]]

  • I have XP and windows 8 with bootcamp. what happen if I delete W8. Xp still boot up after deletion?

    Hi all!
    i have XP and W8 With bootcamp. Can I delete completely W8 and XP still Boot up?
    Thank for your answer.

    I have not used multiple drives so can not speak from experience. From this community I have learned that one needs to remove all drives except the one to receive a Boot Camp/Windows installation.
    I think this would be the most prudent way for you to remove Win 8 from the 2nd HD. Remove drives 1 and 3 then boot into drive 2 Mac OS X 10.7 and use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the BC/Win partition.
    Another option can be used if you have an adequate sized external HDD. Clone the Mac 10.7 partition with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to the external drive. Then boot from this external drive and use Disk Utility to reformat the internal drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with GUID Partition Table. Then clone the external drive with 10.7 back to the original internal drive.
