Hi, I got some weird text shown in the Houdini help file (image attached).

Can anybody help to check how to solve this problem? Thanks!

What platform you on? Does is constant happen or is it an occasional occurance?

I'm using windows xp 32bit and I think it's a constant issue.

Is this a bug of the help file system of Houdini?

Its the first time I've seen something like that. It might be something specific to your system triggering a bug. Its tough to say. Perhaps someone else has experienced this?

I have experienced this problem with Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 on PC hardware running Windows XP and Vista and when running XP or Vista in a Virtual Machine on a PC. Firefox and Safari have not exhibited this problem on PC hardware.

Additionally, when using Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 on PC hardware or Virtual Machines running Windows XP or Vista, and visiting the Houdini Forum, the navigation menu, under the marquee does not render the drop-down list properly. The list is off-set to the right of the category heading and disappears when the cursor is moved to make a selection, making it difficult to choose something from the menu. This only occurs on the Forum pages.

Internet Explorer 8 has not exhibited any of this behavior on Mac OS X in Boot Camp, when using Windows Vista.

Originally, I thought Internet Explorer had a problem rendering certain sidefx.com web pages but Internet Explorer 8 works properly in Boot Camp.

I don't know why this happens.

Whenever possible, try using Houdini's internal web browser for help.

It's a bug of doc visible in IE
internal browser is not a best browser, sorry - it loads very slow, it fails to load documents sometime (too often, than sometime!), once benefit to use it - is launching/loading samples.
I use Chrome to see docs, it is appropriate for me. And I see site-based docs more often, than localized just because a lot of little files impacts disk storage and lead to excessive time during installation, for example.
Is it possible to add options to include/exclude internal docs and HDK too?

Thank you!

Thank you, guys! really appreciate your help!
