Hi, I have recently noticed whilst viewing my generated report in Internet Explorer that the 'Name Index' on the left hand side does not display properly.  The ability to collapse & expand the list has also disappeared.  Can anyone help with this please?

Works for me, what version of IE are you using?

By GazLong - Thursday, May 7, 2009
IE v8 for Vista!

I have viewed your familytrees site using IE 8 on Windows 7 and all looks ok - is this the report you are having problems with? If not could publish a sample and state the version of the Narrative Report skin used.

I think I'm seeing something similar with the report I've generated using the Narrative_2.0.1.7RC9c.zip you recently posted. It's affecting one or two of the TOC's (names, pictures and occupancy). As you can see, it starts off fine, but goes wonky. A, and Aberdeen are correct, but Adams is at the wrong level, and by the time it gets to Allison the structured list is kaput.

The browser is IE8 on XP.

I have noticed the same problem on my web site, but only with IE 8 on XP (v8.0.6001.18702). IE 7 on XP and IE 6 on 2k display as normal. Something changed in IE 8?  This problem only affects the Individuals and Photo indexes - the Family, Trees, Places, Citations and Timeline all display correctly.

I have the same problem with my reports .. same version of the descendants report 2.0.1.7Rc9a.  IE version 8.0.6001.18783.

The error is still happening.  I looked at the generated code for toc_individuals.htm and found the closing </li> and </ul> tags are out of order and so do not match up with the opening tags. The end of the offending lines are as follows:-

................     Jane (Jean) Ellen BLAIR</a> (b. 1896)<br /></li></ul>
................     Ethel Rose BRADY</a><br /></li></ul>

I reversed to tags as follows:-

................     Jane (Jean) Ellen BLAIR</a> (b. 1896)<br /></ul></li>
................     Ethel Rose BRADY</a><br /></ul></li>

and it now displays correctly. As the </li> is optional I removed all occurrences of </li> and it still displays correctly.

................     Jane (Jean) Ellen BLAIR</a> (b. 1896)<br /></ul>
................     Ethel Rose BRADY</a><br /></ul>

I am not game to venture into the realms of java script, so I hope this points you the where the error is. Obviously IE 8 is less tolerant to coding errors than IE 7 of FF.

Regards

Ian

Update - although only toc_individuals, toc_pictures and toc_sources do not display correctly I removed all occurrences of </li> from all the toc_ files with a script editor and reposted them to my website, and they all now displace correctly using IE 5,6,7 and 8 plus FF

Many thanks Ian for persevering and finding the solution to this issue. When I get a spare moment I'll fix the script and publish a revised skin.

Another solution is to change IE8 Compatibility Viewing mode. (Tools -> Compatibility View Setting). I found this in a comment on another site I visit regularly where the dynamic maps have been frozen for the last few months. They said it was to do with IE8's handling of javascript. Changing to Compatibility mode certainly solved the problems in the short term.

Hallo,

I have the same problem.

You can easily see at www.nivini.it

I have a most recent version of GenoPro.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think this is due to a little slip in the skin file Code/Lang.vbs on line 1206

     Report.WriteLn "</li></ul>"

should be

     Report.WriteLn "</ul></li>"

I'll post a revised skin tomorrow (2nd Oct)

Perfect!

Thank you.

Glad it's working now. For others stumbling upon this thread the fix is available from revision 2009.10.01 of the English Narrative Report skin.

I am new to the forum and if this hasn't already been posted - The error appears when working with IE 9 GenPro 2011 ver. - 2.5.3.9.  The fix used in post#24740 seems to have resolved the issue.
