Question

Prev / Next Buttons for merged help in SharePoint using IE11?

I am working on a merged help project with a responsive HTML5 layout and publishing to SharePoint. It's all mostly working but I have a couple of issues:

  1. The previous / next buttons don't show up using IE11; they do show using Chrome. Does anyone know how to make this work with IE11?
  2. When clicking on the prev / next buttons (in Chrome, obviously), the content shifts but the highlight in the left hand navigation pane doesn't. Is there any way to have the highlight on the left side properly aligned with the content in the reading pane?

Thanks for any ideas!

Does the same issue occur when you load the content as just plain HTML on your local drive?

How are you publishing to SharePoint? The native output? And do you place it in an iFrame?

Please open the developer console in IE (F12). On the Emulation tab, which Document mode is selected? -- SharePoint by default pushes IE back to 7 or lower, breaking the HTML5 output. If this is the case, you can either upload the regular .htm files ór change the SharePoint configuration (not recommended).

I'm publishing it to SharePoint using the RoboHelp Responsive HTML5 SSL wizard. I have not placed it in an iFrame.

On the Emulation tab of the developer console in IE11, the document mode is "Edge (Default)"

Mmmh. Which (patch) version of RH are you using? 11.0.4? Which layout are you using?
