And of course you don't know much of anything about Windows. Windows help is a CHM file, which is a compiled package including HTML pages, images, CSS, index, etc. It has nothing to do with browser settings. A CHM file is rendered by an IE window but there's no choice in how it's done. It's handled by the help system. In other words, it's not renered in IE. It's rendered in a special help window that uses an IE browser sub-window to display the help content. The problem was that the CSS inside the CHM file is faulty. The technical details: The text area was positioned in absolute terms but had no positioned parent. That's like saying Oshkosh is 6 miles east. It means nothing because we don't know what it's 6 miles east of. At least some versions of IE will not render the text at all when that error occurs. Since I'm on Windows I have no choice in the matter. |

You're not making it easy for them. no need to leave the site. just open another tab/window and check. if it's something done often, use a widget, or even easier, just ask siri/google/cortana/alexa. bixby is still broken. |

Windows help is a CHM file, which is a compiled package including HTML pages, images, CSS, index, etc. It has nothing to do with browser settings. it's still rendered, the same as had it not been 'compiled' (it's not really compiled). and let's not forget that chm is a microsoft proprietary format, and a utterly horrible one at that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Compiled_HTML_Help Microsoft Compiled HTML Help is a Microsoft proprietary online help format, consisting of a collection of HTML pages, an index and other navigation tools. The files are compressed and deployed in a binary format with the extension .CHM, for Compiled HTML. The format is often used for software documentation. |

You'll figure it out eventually. i'm not the one who needs to figure it out. chm is nothing more than 'compiled' html in a microsoft proprietary format. guess what you get when you 'uncompile' it. here's a hint: http://techdows.com/wp-content/uploa...iles-in-Firefo x.png But the only really relevant was that the Photoline help file is faulty and someone should have caught it. then pat yourself on the back for having found it. did you tell them? did they agree it's a problem or did they explain why you're so completely lost? |

snip But, you've said "argue with the customer". Good salesmen say "It's to your advantage to buy this instead of that, and here's why...". That's not arguing. I spent the last two years as a collage student taking my classes at night, and working during the day. On one interview for a job as a sales trainee, the sales manager asked me to sell hm a pencil. I said "not if you don't need it. I was offered the job. -- PeterN |
