HTML Report Compatibility in Chrome and Sharepoint

[chris pearce]

We are trying to output HTML reports to a file server such that SharePoint can display them in a web part component as part of an overall project documentation repository.  We have hit a problem and also noticed that also Google Chrome suffers.  I have not specifically determined that the cause is the same but the symptoms are.

The symptom is that on load the the table of contents left hand pane crashes out with the web page just showing loading....

In chrome i have diagnosed this to the toc.js function ChangeCSS the css object has not been correctly initialised and the references to "rules" and "CSSrules" within the "target" object are both NULL, and hence the script borks and thats the end of it.   Stepped through the same process in Explorer and its fine...  I also checked the CSS on the W3C css validator and there is only one error and this i dont believe it the problem.

I am hoping that if i can get Chrome can read the css and display the page then Sharepoint will also behave, although that remains to be seen.  

Tested with Chrome Version 28.0.1500.72 m, EA V9.0

we have tested HTML output from 2 different projects on EA V8 and V9 and neither work with Chrome...

Any pointers greatly appreciated...

The only error that I am aware of for Chrome is that it blocks (for security reasons) the retrieval of additional data when running locally. Last I tested it worked fine if the report was hosted on a web server.

Ah   served it and it works.... (in Chrome) I will report back once we confirm that the Sharepoint web part is also fixed but i'm quietly confident...

Thanks for the help

Well there is search, and there is the search button (between the help and my centre buttons).
Only use the [highlight]search button[/highlight].

The good burghers from Sparxland have been asked many time to fix this problem for many years, but it seems to be beyond even their powers to do so, or perhaps their customer relations business manager perhaps doesn't see why it would be useful to be able to search the forums easily.
You see we resort to sarcasm because this wastes so many peoples time.

Another tip, if you want to do deep searches, eg a year or more, only search one forum at a time, or you will time out.

Thanks Skiwi i now feel empowered with secret knowledge

The good news is that the search speed has massively improved since they did "something". However, you need to set the search interval manually to at least one year. (And the "Mark as read" button is malfunctioning for me since this "upgrade").

Utterly failed to get Sharepoint to display an HTML report in a webpart.  The browser reports

SCRIPT5: Access is denied.
 
displayToc.js, line 312 character 3

which is still the       changeCSS('#Preload','height',top.document.body.clientHeight-67+'px','this'); line which causes chrome to hang if run locally.

Im guessing that this is trying to fiddle with the layout of the browser frames which Sharepoint is laying out?? ( Although im surprised that its container does not appear as an entire browser to it)

So im officially stuck....  EA HTML outputs are not compatible with Microsoft Sharepoint.... really? Progress eh ...
