WebHelp Search Panel Not Displaying Search Field

Question

I built some webhelp using RoboHelp 8. Unfortunately, the Search panel does not display the Search field, and contains random looking letters and words.

I cannot find any information on how to fix this. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hello againYou are seeing the ActiveX warning (otherwise known as the Yellow Information Bar) because you are viewing the content in Microsoft Internet Explorer and you the content is being viewed from your local C drive.Although WebHelp works when viewed from your local C drive, it's really intended to be viewed from a web server. Once you view it from a web server there is no issue with ActiveX as you are in a different security zone.If you don't wish to deal with the Yellow Information Bar, you should consider enabling the Mark of the Web feature in your Single Source Layout recipe.Cheers...

Hi thereYou need to scrutinize your Single Source Layout recipe. Odds are you have either enabled the Section 508 compliant output or you have opted for "Pure HTML" in the speed optimization settings.Cheers...
