epub3 popup text with links fails same page

[fairbrothe]

Hi,

Using Apple Books with epub3 popup the text has links within. If the link is to a different page(html file) then it functions correctly as the popup is closed and the link is traversed to the correct page/paragraph.

However if the link points to the same page (html file) as currently displayed the popup does not close and the link is not followed.

The snapshot image below the first link fails as it is on the same page being currently viewed while the other links are successful.

Tested with Calibre Viewer which works fine for all links.

I am using epub:type="noteref" but not <aside>, using <p> instead as I need the footnote to always display.

Thanks for the help,
Greg

Hey, welcome to MobileRead!

You're probably going to have to give more info though. Can you:

1. Attach a sample EPUB with the problem?

2. Give the footnote code + HTML.

It could be something with the way you coded it, or it could be a bug with Apple Books.

But if give that info, it'll help others test + mess around and see if we could figure it out or explain a better way.

Thank you for the reply.

I did open a bug with Apple Books but no response yet.

I created a simple example which works fine with Calibre viewer but with Apple Books footnotes links to same page doesn't.

I used Sigil to create the example.

Thanks again,
Greg
