Two Drifters

Sometimes Lectora renders the HTML, and you end up with broken pages. You start trying to disable things, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

My advice: first use Firefox’ error console to find out what the error is about. Sometimes it’s an “unterminated string literal“:

VarAktuellerKapitelname.set( ‘El modelo biopsicosocial integrativo de la CIF

‘ )

You can solve this problem by patching the file and re-copying it over the output when rendering. (Of course you have to keep track of whether the page gets updated …)

Here’s the correct version of this line of code:

VarAktuellerKapitelname.set( ‘El modelo biopsicosocial integrativo de la CIF’ )

Easy, huh? The real challenge lies in tracking the little files … Well, why don’t you make it our problem? We’ll solve Lectora problems for you – ask for our competitive rates!

Internet Explorer’s refusing to work with the tabs – that is, the first two tabs work then everything breaks. Firefoxy and Opera do what I intend them to do. Have I mentioned that cross-browser developing can be a burden?

It turns out, that Internet Explorer has a problem with the <FORM> not wrapping around everything, but being split up between DIVs.

This does not work with Internet Explorer:

<div class=”panes”>
<DIV>
<form action=”/” method=”post”>
…
</DIV>
<DIV>
…
</DIV>
<DIV>
</form>
</DIV>
</DIV><!–closing the panes–>

This works:

<form action=”/” method=”post”>
<div class=”panes”>
<DIV>
…
</DIV>
<DIV>
…
</DIV>
<DIV>
</DIV>
</DIV><!–closing the panes–>
</form><!–form wraps around the panes –>
