HTML Report Not Working In Google Chrome

[nmazor]

When I generate HTML reports they only display in Firefox. However, in Google Chrome and IE I get an error trying to load the model. I know this was a problem in earlier versions, is it still an issue?

Hi,

This is not an issue of Enterprise Architect, but default bahaviour of Chrome.

To avoid this issue, see the 'Browser behavior' in the following help page:

Its a new security feature in modern browsers to stop running javascript from local file system. In chrome you can override with a command line flag --allow-file-access-from-files. For example run chrome from command line like so you can execute the javascript.
I usually create a short cut with the following in the command line.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files

Hello,


If you're generating HTML it's probably because you want to make models available to people who don't use EA. This implies that you're in a reasonable-size organization.

If that is the case, it's worth considering setting up a web server to serve the EA-generated HTML. You probably already have a web server on your intranet, in which case you just need to add a publication area where you can write the generated HTML and the server can read it.

Not only will this obviate the need for people to circumvent a security feature of their web browser, it will also provide better performance: a web server is far more adept at dealing efficiently with HTML than a file server is. If you're generating large chunks of HTML, and if you're making them available on a WAN, this performance boost will be significant.

Or may even consider using live publishing utilities..
