Our product is being ported to the Mac OS. I want advice on
which Help platform will work best for publication on the Internet.
I need it to work for Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X, IE, Firefox, and
Safari. So far I have found problems with all browsers including
IE.
WebHelp:
Safari/Chrome: Navigation panel is empty, popups appear in
separate windows, links inside a popup window do not return you to
the main page.
All other browsers: Links inside popups return to main page,
but navigation panel does not display.
FlashHelp:
Safari/Chrome: Links inside a popup window do not return you
to the main page, but display the topic in the popup window.
All browsers: Links inside popups return to main page, but
navigation panel does not display.
Is there a way around these problems, or do I have to
eliminate popups?
In addition, I am seeing display problems with our localized
versions of WebHelp when run from a Mac using Safari. The
navigation panel is totally garbage. The English version works
fine, but the German, French, Spanish, etc. versions do not.
