EPUB creation problem with ipad
Hi all -
I am having a problem with my epub - which is validated with the IDPF tool, and the epub preflight tool. The epub looks beautiful on calibre, and also looks beautiful on ipad - but there are two blank pages after the cover page when you view the epub on the ipad. I have been reviewing my html, css and cannot see a reason why there are those two blank pages. Any ideas from any members? thx lots - Dia |

Do you have height 100% for your image?

You cannot say iPad as a catch all term. You have to say what app on the iPad you are using. You could be using a number of different apps. Bluefire is the best app for ePub on an iPad.

EPUB Creation problem with ipad
In addition to that - I also have something going on when I look at the validated epub in ADE. ADE, and the Nook will not recognize my bullets. They are standard <ul> bulleted list. And there is adequate bottom padding for paragraph spacing - but in ADE the paragraph padding and the bullets disappear.
This is in addition to the two blank pages coming up in ipad. I am relatively new to this - although I have been learning things at a rapid pace - what you can and cannot do in your html / css. thanks again - Dia |

Simple lists work in ADE.
If you want to help us, we need the code too look at. We cannot see what you have otherwise. |

Try to replace in the first html: img.sgc-7 { max-width: 100% } with: img.sgc-7 { height: 95% } I did not find any bulleted list (there are numbered lists...) Well if this will not work, maybe it's time to "throw out some garbage" - css (sorry, can't resist ) |

mmat1 - thanks - I will replace that.
Sorry - I did mean numbered list <ol> not ul - but do you see anything that would cause my numbered list to not show up in Nook, and ADE? thx again - Dia |
