Rikaichan problem - Haych - 2010-06-15

Rikaichan is having troubles with the .html files I have saved on my computer (the files are from the ultimate study pack, I got it from an old thread here). It seems to recognise the words, they become highlighted, but the popup with the definition doesn't appear. Its strange because rikaichan works with all the websites ive showed it, but not these files. Does anyone know a fix for this?

You can start by attaching an example of a page that doesn't work for you.

I've used rikaichan on offline files before, and it worked fine.

I've never seen a more horribly disfigured DOM tree in my life.

Unless you feel like fixing it page by page, you can just copy-paste the text into a suitable document.
In case you aren't too hot on HTML, you can use this template:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<title></title>

</head>

<body>

<div>

<form action="">

<textarea rows="10" cols="10" style="position:absolute;height:95%;width:95%">

</textarea>

</form>

</div>

</body>

</html>

Simply save the code into an .html file and open it. You can then paste text inside the browser window and use rikaichin as normal. If you get document shifting near the bottom of the screen press "a" to force the addon window in the top left corner of the screen.

Im not too big on the whole html thing, but the copy paste idea worked pretty well. Should have thought of that earlier, heh. No colourful backgrounds anymore but I can live with that.

The actual problem is the encoding of the page. Rikaichan does not work when the encoding is UTF-16.
