The Siemens
Software and Mentor Documentation System uses JavaScript for browsing
and searching HTML documentation. If you are seeing the “compatibility
mode” note at the top of the InfoHub or your help topic, then JavaScript
is currently disabled in your browser and needs to be enabled if
you want to use the full capabilities of the documentation system.
Symptoms
When using the InfoHub in compatibility
mode, you have basic navigation and no search, as shown in Figure 1.
The HTML documents have basic navigation, as shown in Figure 2.
Also, the hyperlinks within documents do not function.

Solution
There are two solutions for solving
this error.
Fixing Within the
Browser
Enable JavaScript in your browser.
Refer to “Browser Settings”.
Hosting Documentation
Instead of Changing JavaScript Settings
If you do not want to change the
JavaScript settings on your computer, you can alternately host the
documentation on an internal web-server. Refer to “Hosting Documentation on an Internal HTTP Server”.
