Safari compatibility problem

HDF support,

I am trying to read HDF5 documentation with a fairly recent Safari version, 11.0.3 on Mac OS. For example, H5_OPEN, H5D_OPEN, H5F_OPEN core library functions; or h5dump under tools.

In Safari, most of these content-level pages display a header, footer, and side bar, but the main content is a solid gray box with no text. On closer inspection, the left side bar is taking up almost all the display area, and the main content is in a narrow strip hiding on the right, not readable.

In Firefox, these pages display the main content properly. Can you please fix the content pages for Safari? Thank you.

–Dave A.

Thank you for reporting it!

Is there any progress on this? Current on-line function doc pages are still unreadable in Safari. The older HTML docs for 1.8 are working fine, as they always have. Current examples of problem pages:

https://confluence.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/H5F_CLOSE
https://confluence.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/H5F_OPEN

I’m currently using Safari 12.1.1, not the latest, on a Mac laptop.

FWIW…there was some forum discussion on new approaches to hosting docs and a lot of progress has been made on this new approach here.
