iBooks - ePub - Linking Bug

lcoleman79 · 06-29-2010, 11:59 PM

I'm a developer working on a eBook publishing system based on existing repositories of HTML. Any one find/correct the bug listed below?

Links to a document redirects iBooks to .NCX toc instead of correct file. Link in HTML is as simple "href='myfile.html'" This book has a huge TOC so it takes a while to load and looks like APP has crashed. Consitently happens with same document otherwise this book has thousands of links which all work.

Assuming there are no typos, the first thing I would try is changing the link to incorporate a fragment (e.g. href='myfile.html#loc000', with a fragment id at the top of the linked file).

How are the other (working) links structured differently? And does the offending link work in other book readers?
