Worked previously; unexplained glitches.
What would cause a “blank screen” to appear when a link on one screen to another .mobi file.
We have a large project and getting alot of blank screens.
What causes that and how can we fix it?
Can you share more details about how are you getting this blank screens?
a) Are you creating a native or a web app? is the target android or iOS?
b) what is the app’s size?
c) Can you share a small sample that demostrate the issue to replicate it?Creating a web app for the moment, but will be a native app at the end points.
Project consists of about 375 screens, which were all working fine.
From a selection menu, there are 25 link items to the main information screens.
There are about 10 which, we clicked to open, display a blank screen.
Each of those screens, on their own, work just fine and display properly.
The pages consist of some top navigation items and an html area in the scrolling panel.
All these were working several days ago, then went south on us.
It is impossible to say what could cause a good working system to goof up all of a sudden. But it comes down to something changed. In isolation my 1st thought when a UI begins acting whacky is to ask is there an html widget used anywhere in the UI.
If yes then I look for an html widget that is corrupting the DOM with bad html code. Think of the HTML widget not as a container with isolated code such as an <iframe> (those suck on mobile safari in most cases) but rather as a mechanism that merges the html widgets code into the DOM at a defined <div> <your-code-inserted-here> </div> container. So if your html is goofed up it can corrupt the DOM. We realize this is fragile and plan to provide some html validation in the future.
Each screen does have an html widget, which we created in an html editor, checked the html for conformity, and copied into the html widget box on the screen.
We have a main navigation page with 25 link buttons to other screens.
We are placing the screens as Additional Project Files, and have discovered that the “order” in which they are placed affects whether they will display or not.
There is no logical order, but some need to be at the top of the list, others, doesn’t matter.
Will focus on the html widgets in each screen.
Thanks.
