Scrubber Thumbnails for HTML Articles - How Do You Get them to Actually Appear?!?!?

Hi Gang,
My apologies if I asked this last month, but it's really driving me nuts.
The cover of our magazine is an HTML article, and it appears as a blank screen in both the TOC and BROWSE modes. The former is easy to fix by simply creating a thumb image and inserting it via Indesign or the Folio Producer. It's the browse mode that is the conundrum. I've followed the following instructions provided by ADOBE and updated my HTML article but to no avail.
Creating scrubber thumbnails for HTML articles
For InDesign articles, the viewer automatically generates the thumbnails that appear when you drag the scrubber. However, generating thumbnails for HTML articles takes more time, sometimes resulting in poorly rendered thumbnails. To improve thumbnail performance in HTML articles, you can manually add image files to the HTML article folders.
Create png files that are named "scrubberthumbnail_h.png" and "scrubberthumbnail_v.png" (you can also use _l and _p suffixes). Add these files to the HTML article folder. There is no size restriction for these images, but note that they are scaled down proportionally to a height of 166 pixels. As a point of reference, when thumbnails are generated, landscape thumbnails are 221x166 pixels, and portrait thumbnails are 125x166 pixels.
What am I doing wrong? My folio is portrait (vertical)-only and I put my .png filed named "scrubberthumbnail_v.png" in the parent directory (same level as the "cover_v.html" file targetted) of the HTML article. Should it be put somehwere else in the article folder?
I'm hoping there is a simply solution.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys, but that doesn't address my problem. It's an HTML article, not a web content overlay.
Yes, I know I could redo the cover within InDesign using a web content overlay spanning the entire 'page' and use a MSO as pointed out, but the cover starts off empty and then items begin to appear (ie) image and then the magazine title followed by the article titles. The latter which are linked (navto:) to their respective article. The problem is that navto links do NOT work in web content overlays, which is why I resorted to creating an HTML article. But alas, the scrubber thumbnail problem...
The instructions above do not work for me, unless I've done something wrong such as placing the thumb image in the wrong location within my HTML folder, which in this case is a published EDGE ANIMATE project.
And yes I could still go the MSO/InDesign web content overlay route and insert invisible frames over my link text as delayed MSOs, but that seems unecessary since I should be able to create the scrubber thumbnail for an HTML article as explained above.
Any advice regarding the creation of the scrubber thumbnail? Or does it simply not function as intended at this time? I'm using InDesign CS5.5 using v.26 tools.
Thanks in advance!

    Move the library back into your Pictures folder and open it.  Then close it and try rebuilding again. 
    Select the options checked in this screenshot:
    If that fails continue with this:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do you get your site to appear the same in all web browsers?

    There are some things that show up differently in Safari than they do in IE and Firefox, how do I get everything to jive the same? I think it is in the code which I am not an expert on.  My website was a template that I purchased online and most of the code was already built in.  I have some of my links in Safari showing white when you rollover them but when I look in IE and Firefox they're not there.  Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Actually what you are learning here is to create a stylesheet for all of your web pages. Including all of your styles inline in the page's code is very cumbersome.
    Each of your pages needs code that refers to your stylesheet:
    <style type="text/css" media="all">
    @import url("../../css/content.css");
    </style>
    <style type="text/css" media="print">
    @import url("../../css/content_print.css");
    </style>
    This assumes that your stylesheets (in my case, one for print, one for browsers) are located in a folder called /css which is a habit I have for neatness.
    One thing that Dreamweaver does very well is keeps track of your styles and helps you edit styles to suit. I'm using CS3 which doesn't really allow you to look at the result of rollovers from within the application, but I keep Firefox handy for previewing. Problem is, once you create a style for a "visited" link, you can no longer see the result of the style for unvisited links in your browser unless you clear your browsers cache. Dreamweaver CS3 always shows links in their unvisited state.
    There is other code I use to make Microsoft's non-compliant browsers do the right thing, though rollovers, visited, and such all tend to work the same in all browsers, save the most antediluvian.
    <!--[if IE 5]>
    <style type="text/css">
    /* IE 5 does not use the standard box model, so the column widths are overidden to render the page correctly. */
    #outerWrapper #contentWrapper #leftColumn1 {
      width: 185px;
    </style>
    <![endif]-->
    <!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css">
    /* The proprietary zoom property gives IE the hasLayout property which addresses several bugs. */
    #outerWrapper #contentWrapper, #outerWrapper #contentWrapper #content {
      zoom: 1;
    </style>
    <![endif]-->
    The above code handles issues with Microsoft's intransigence pretty well, and my sites tend to look really uniform. But in the case of menus, I often have to write a completely different stylesheet to wrestle with Internet Exploder:
    This is stylesheet reference for my menus:
    <style type="text/css" media="all">
    @import url("../css/menu/menu.css");
    </style>
    <!--[if lte IE 6]>
    <style type="text/css" media="all">
    @import url("../css/menu/menu_ie.css");
    </style>
    <![endif]-->
    Then I craft the changes for Internet Exploiter 6 in a separate stylesheet.
    This should give you an idea of how powerful an external stylesheet can be. You can use "if" statements to handle the differences between the Microsoft non-compliant browsers and the more modern and compliant browsers, like Safari, Firefox and Opera.
