HTML Overlays

Hi Guys

Have done a whole app in Publishing but have encountered html overlays being a problem.

I have an html file linked to an indesign page which I save as an article but when I go to upload to Publish it keeps saying the upload has failed.

Any thoughts, I know html with Publish can be a little complicated?

cheers

When you added the HTML overlay, where were the HTML files you selected stored on your computer? Were they in their own folder? Or did you accidentally have them on your desktop and include your entire machine in the .article file?

Hi Neil

The html file was linked via a folder it was contained in through the overlays panel in Indesign.

I've attached a screengrab. Let me know if you need any more info?

Justin, I'll send you a private message requesting access to the content. I believe upload is failing because of a specific character in one of the file names that gets included in the article export.

What's in that folder? We will include *everything* in that folder in the article. If you have a lot of stuff in there, like videos and whatnot, it could be the problem.
