MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Libra 2 Kebub - all links open as a footnote with preview

I have been experimenting with including javascript in my epubs to create some randomised elements. For my Kobo Libra 2 it is necessary to format the file as a .kebub.epub to ensure the JS works. Since I did this, some of the anchor tags no longer function as direct links, but as footnotes. Instead of directly redirecting the reader to another page it shows up as a preview window.

I can't seem to find rhyme or reason behind when it does or doesn't do this. as a test I created 3 pages, with the first page refering to the other two, and the last referring back to the first one. Only the last one going back sends the user back directly.

I want to prevent the kobo engine from parsing the anchor links as footnotes, but nothing I do seem to work. Epub-type tags seem to have no effects, for example.

I hope anyone here has any idea.
