FireFox displaying Search interface incorrectly

Participant ,
Dec 02, 2008 Dec 02, 2008
All- I'm a newbie with RoboHelp. My issue is that an HTML Help UI isn't displayed properly in FireFox 3.0.3, but h it DOES display properly in IE 6. Just below are links to the the upper-left corners of my Help interface when Search is selected. As you can see, for IE, a space appears prompting the user for a search term. But for FireFox, the prompt doesn't appear. Instead, what looks like alphabet letter index tabs appears.

IE Search area

...and here's the way it looks in FireFox 3.0.3

FireFox search area

Your help is appreciated. Note that I'm using RoboHelp 7.0.2

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

That looks more like the results of two outputs. Certainly the FF output looks as though you generated without the DHTML option selected.

Thanks Peter. Actually, these images were generated by the same output (same htm link) for the two different browsers. Do you know of any reason why FireFox would render Search properly? E.G., is FF 3.0.3 not fully supported by RoboHelp?

Hi Kurt

Is JavaScripting disabled in FireFox? WebHelp output relies heavily on JavaScripting to weave its magick.

Cheers... Rick

Rick- I just checked. FireFox JavaScript is definitely enabled. (via the Tools-Options-Content tab in FireFox).

Any other possible causes?

Thanks!

You haven't indicated what setting you used in the wizard. DHTML?

Peter: I see. I'll have to check. I inherited the Help Output, and am just now locating the source files. I've got a bit of homework yet to do, but I will check for the DHTML setting when I can. Thanks! -Kurt
