Informix Online Documentation?
David Grove could not navigate the online Informix documentation, getting blank pages after searching for LOTOFILE. Art Kagel's link worked for him; he suggested clearing cookies or another browser. David found Edge worked and that clearing cookies fixed Firefox, which had updated that week. Solved.

Is there a known problem? When I try to access it, I am getting no response when I try to drill down to any detail for any topic listed on the left. I tried HCL, too. Get "page not found" when trying to navigate to most commands. A few days ago, I had a response from a tech support case I had open. The response included a documentation link. When I clicked the link, I got, essentiall, a blank screen. Very strange. DG ------------------------------ David Grove ------------------------------

Thank you, Art. When I click the link, it appears to work. Then, I enter "LOTOFILE" in the search bar at the top. I get a list of topics on the left side of the screen. One of those topics is "LOTOFILE". I click on it. I get a bunch more topics in a list on the left side of the screen. (Difficult to understand the structure because there is no indentation, no outline form to show the structure of the documentation, just a uniform vertical list of topics.) Anyway, I click on "LOTOFILE Function" in that list. End of the line. Nothing more happens. Nada. Zip. DG ------------------------------ David Grove ------------------------------
Hmm, when I search for LOTOFILE, I get a set of abstracts below the search box with "LOTOFILE function" highlighted. When I click on the first of those, I am taken to: The LOToFile function A menual page describing the function. ------------------------------ Art S.

Maybe I should check with our network guys and see if they have implemented any recent changes. DG ------------------------------ David Grove ------------------------------
I tried the link in "Edge" (I had been using Firefox), and it works. I also note that Firefox updated on April 7, and I have been having problems all week. Sorry to have bothered you fine folks. DG
When I search I get this: And when I click on the first entry I get: Try clearing cookies etc. or using a different browser. Art ------------------------------ Art S. Kagel, President and Principal Consultant ASK Database Management Corp. www.askdbmgt.com ------------------------------
Thank you, Art. Clearing cookies also fixed the problem (as did using a different browser). I should have thought of that, first. DG
Hi David, works fine for me with the actual Firefox on MacOS. Regards Henri ------------------------------ Henri Cujass leolo IT, CTO Germany IBM Champion 2021 2022 2023 IIUG Board Member henri.cujass@leolo.com ------------------------------
