Internal display of web pages is not great anymore

[TimP]

It used to be quite accurate, and I don't know what happened, but complicated pages are a mess now.

Try http://edc.intel.com/Software/Downloads/EMGD/. The left side bar gets strung vertically above the main banner. And expandable sections below the main area are all expanded automatically.

Is there a compatibility setting of some kind that I'm unaware of?

Are you viewing that URL in the internal browser, or importing and storing the web page, or ? Which version+SP of Windows and IE are you running?

[TimP]

Good questions. Sorry I didn't provide this info up-front.

Win7Pro x64

The page is not "stored".

IE is Version8 - I wouldn't think that the x64 version is being used inside UR.

It looks ok on Win7 x64 w/ IE8 in my tests. UR is a 32-bit app, so it will use the 32-bit version of embedded IE.

Here's a cut of what it looks like around the main page banner on my machine.

Does it display properly in standalone IE? Maybe try upgrading to IE9?

[TimP]

It works fine in stand-alone IE 8.

I have noticed the same thing as OP in many websites that are multi-column CSS designs.

I tried the page discussed in this thread, and see the same symptoms I see in many other websites -- the linked page displays 100% correctly for a few seconds in UR, then it completely breaks down and loses its style info.

I can click away from the note with the webpage linked or copied, then click back and always see the same thing - the page loads 100% correctly for a few seconds, then the style info disappears and the page turns into an unstyled mess.

I did a test in Firefox (using the web developer plugin) to see if I could replicate what UR is doing. I can almost exactly replicate what happens in UR by disabling linked style sheets in Firefox.

For me this problem is bad enough I rarely link or copy webpages into UR anymore because I see this problem so often.

Win 7 ultimate 64-bit (2 separate machines, same problem)
UR Pro 4.2a
riched20.dll version 14.0.4750.1000

Thanks,
Mark.

Update - I was using IE8, and as suggested earlier in this thread I just upgraded to IE9 as a test. There is no change in the problem; CSS style info is lost whether the page is linked or copied to UR. You get a brief flash of perfect styling, then crapola as soon as the page fully loads. The page displays correctly in IE8 and IE9.

Thanks,
Mark.

We haven't had any luck reproducing this behavior. If you could send some other problem URLs and detailed steps of how you're importing the pages into UR, it might help. Thanks.

I'm seeing the same problem with a twist. When copying to UR from Firefox 4.0.1 and IE8 (both x86), I get the same result as shown in post #5 above, but UR's internal browser displays the page properly when visiting directly from UR's web toolbar. Both Firefox and IE display the page properly as well.

The funny thing is, UR gets the page correctly if I save the page with Scrapbook (a Firefox extension) first, open the captured page from Scrapbook, and then copy the page to UR.

note: By "copying to UR" I mean clicking on the "Copy to UR" toolbar button with nothing selected in the page.

My system is Win 7 X64 SP1, with UR version 4.2a (pro).
