MyFancyIndex HTML export not working in Chrome

Hi Conor,

Have a problem when I make an export with MyFancyIndex.
If I open it with Chrome and I click on a book, It does not show the book details. I see only a horizontal bar without any data and the 'X' to close.
It works with Firefox and Safari.

I am using BookPedia 5.5.1 on iMac with OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan)

Coul you help me to resolve this problem?

I'll take a look over the weekend and let you know, if I am able to unravel the mystery.

Is this loading from a web server or directly from a file on the hard drive? As I know Chrome can act very differently when loading local resources.

I have been unable to repeat it, here is a test page.

Do try the beta versions, I have gone ahead and updated all the JavaScript and Colorbox plugin that is being used to the latest versions.

Thank you. Chrome decided not to load files from the hard drive. So the javascript does not load that does the window. It will work once online as the request is then "https", instead of "file". If you need it to work from the hard drive, you would need to move all the jquery.js file and colorbox.js file inline into the single HTML page.

Hi again!

I already posted in an earlier thread but since I am having the exact same problem i just wanted to reply to this quickly.

I will just be using the file offline/from harddrive. It seems that you, Conor, did find the problem, but I haven't fully understood what to do exactly.

In Chrome and Safari i see only the horizontal bar without any data and the 'X' to close - as the thread opener. In firefox the colorbox shows me the details, but not the cover image.
I can see both image and details when i open in another tab though. But then the layout isn't that nice :-)

"If you need it to work from the hard drive, you would need to move all the jquery.js file and colorbox.js file inline into the single HTML page"

Could you give me a little more info on how that would be done?

Thanks so much!

Nik

Glad you were able to solve it. I think it might be the local setup as they display correctly here. But having all the different bits installed locally, it's hard to simulate what it would be like on a computer without all the files loaded. Glad to hear Firefox is doing the correct thing.
