Webdialog Win10 IE11 CSS

Unfortunately, editing the registry and restarting has had no effect. Any
other ideas?

Something is stripping the CSS in the SketchUp webdialog. Could it be a
relative path to the CSS that is not working as intended? Is there a reason
that the webdialog Ctrl+L to whatismybrowser.com shows me that Java is
“either not installed or is disabled” when I have turned it on and it is
working in regular IE11? So weird!

Thanks again for all the help!

Okay! Major discovery! Java x32 and x64 have to be installed for 64 bit
systems. That being said, the Skatter html/css still doesn’t render
correctly, as if it is missing. I can, however, drag the html file into the
webdialog withing SketchUp and it looks/works perfectly. I imagine the
issue is the same with Skalp, but dragging the Skalp html into the
webdialog doesn’t work, at all.

Thoughts?

Thanks again,

Greg

Sent from my smartphone, so messages may be short and/or contain typos.

you could try adding a dot slash to the css path…
<link href="./skatter.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

also commenting out or deleting…
<link href="../js/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
seems to have no adverse affect on a mac…

does forcing a reload do the same thing? [can you even do that on IE???]

BTW… signing all your posts is not considered appropriate by the forum guidelines…

Generally, under Windows, reload is the F5 function key.

Bump, anyone?

The Skalp html needs css, javascript and ruby to display/work correct.

Guy

It does - the meta tags takes precedence over the app default.

I’ve not seen this before - CSS being blocked but not JS?

I have Win10 IE11 on my machine at home, yet to see any issues there as well. Not sure what might affect this.

Have you tried temporarily disabling this?

Do you see this only with Skatter? Or also other extensions with webdialogs?

Thomas,

He has the same problem with Skalp.

Guy

I have a vague recollection of having had this problem, and it might have been a silent failure of CSS parsing. I might have used the wrong comment syntax or something, or left out a trailing semi-colon, etc. in the CSS and the browser refused to load the stylesheet.

I would try running the HTML and CSS through syntax checker extensions in Notepad++. Or there might be some online cut-and-paste checker applets ?

Dan,

If the problem is the css parsing. I should think every windows 10 computer should have te same problem? I can’t reproduce this problem on our machine.

Guy

I’m thinkin’ out loud. (I have not actually looked at the code and do not have it installed.)

Then it could be a standards version issue.

Does the HTML have a <!doctype> tag ?

What happens if the meta tag is commented out ?

The Windows 10 update solved all the problems. Thanks for all the
assistance everyone. Let’s hope nothing like this ever happens again!

Which update was that?

This is a good nugget to add to the WebDialog class documentation.

Another user is having the same exact problem : Webdialog Win10 IE11 CSS - #30 by Guy
Same case, Skatter and Skalp do not load CSS for some reason.

@Guy Did you guys ever had another case like this? If so, did you find a solution?

That’s what I am getting too. Windows 7 / SketchUP 2016.
Is it a problem of SketchUP , Scatter or Windows 7?

I am having the same problem as well. I have checked all my settings in IE11 (Win 7, Pro 64bit) and nothing affected any change.

As many of the previous comments said, it does appear to be a CSS issue. Something is preventing CSS from loading.

I have the full menu and scroll the menu window, but the menu itself is plain HTML text, links and text boxes.

I will do some more research.

Opening the skatter html files directly with IE11 shows the correct menu, except the tabs do not work. IE11 also asks to Allow Blocked Content and when allowed, the page fails to load at all.

You mentioned that it also happens with Sketchy Physics and MS Physics, right?
Can you try the trial of Skalp?
