Fm2020 and FM2022 - Conditionalized Columns Empty when Hidden and Published as HTML5
Hi everyone,
I have tables with conditions being applied to columns. In certain documents, I'd like to hide a specific column, so I hide the corresponding condition (e.g., Internal). Only one condition is applied to this column.
In PDF, the column is hidden. But when I publish HTML5, the column is shown but empty. What is more embarassing is that when I inspect the table using the browser's Inspect tool, the content of the hidden table cells is shown in the HTML Elements view!
As per Adobe, this issue seems to have been fixed in FM2017 Update 3:
- In a table containing conditional columns, the column marked to hide from the published output also gets published. (Ref - 3293)
How come it re-emerged?
The issue is so obvious that I wonder if Adobe run QA tests before releasing FrameMaker. This is embarassing. Really disappointed with the quality of the product.
