Unwanted empty table cell after html5 output

Hi,

I am using the new interface (not classic) for Robohelp 2019. After generating an html5 output, there is an extra empty cell at the end of the table. I couldn't find any clues in the code. Does anyone know why this is happening? Please see this URL: https://tesira-webhelp.biamp.com/#t=ForteX_Supported_Platforms.htm.

 

Below is a screenshot of how it looks in Robohelp:

 

Thank you,

 

Julianna

The topic you have sent is from the output. Maybe that is just a slip up creating this test project but if not you need to fix that in your main project.

 

Amber has identified that on your site there are seven columns defined. Delete the last two so that just these are shown.

 

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="border-collapse:collapse; width:100%" width="100%">
<colgroup>
<col style="width:14.29%" />
<col style="width: 187px;" />
<col style="width: 191px;" />
<col style="width: 231px;" />
<col style="width: 175px;" />
</colgroup>

 

You may want to set the widths to the same unit as well.

Can you share the project? If you can, then see the Contact page on my site and send the project as instructed there. Do make sure you include a link to this thread and please do not email the project direct.

 

If you can't, could you import that topic and your CSS into a new project and share that?

Hi Peter,

 

The screenshot is what the author and preview look like. Quick generate shows the empty cell (this is currently online on our company website as well :(.

 

Thanks,

 

Julianna

It's not a known issue.

 

I assume the screenshot is from author view. Same in Preview and same in the local generation?
