Description

Hello,

Xinha fails to work with Internet Explorer (various versions) in html documents containing a BASE element. The bug was already present in HTMLArea 3 (see '[BUG RC3] "Operation aborted"' thread in HTMLArea discussion forum).

I have made two examples for reference:

  1. http://www.jihocesky-pionyr.cz/_xinha.html (without BASE element, works fine)
  2. http://www.jihocesky-pionyr.cz/_xinha-base.html (containing BASE element <base href="http://www.jihocesky-pionyr.cz/">, fails).

Thanks a lot for your work!

Michal Houda

It appears to be due to a bug in IE. adding a </base> tag after the <base ...> tag appears to clear the issue.

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to wontfix

Closing, closing yuour base is a viable workaround for a browser problem.
