Mouse Hover Shows the Image Name

[natjnelson]

RoboHelp HTML Version 9

Hi,

In the WebHelp display in IE, the file name shows when I hover over an image.

I could put in a screen tip, but I would have to do that for every image and that will be time consuming after-the-fact.

Can anyone tell me how to change the output so the file name does not display for ALL the images.  I looked in the WebHelp Settings dialog, but can't find anything in there.

Thanks!!

You'll probably have to edit the resulting HTML to remove the ALT text - I think that's where it's picking up the filename

I should have mentioned that I tried that in RoboHelp...   I went into the HTML tab and deleted the alt="" text.  Robohelp seems to stick it back in after I save and generate.

Did you mean open the WebHelp in a different HTML editor (not RoboHelp)?

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

Yes - when you edit in the HTML tab, you're still working with the project files - not the help output. You need to mess about with the output files to test this.

Thanks for the additional info.  Yes, I can edit the output files, remove the alt="" and that fixes it.  But if I make any changes to the source files and re-generate, I have to edit the output files again.

Helpful, but not practical.

Good to know that was the culprit - if you can't prevent it from being added within RH, maybe setting up a FAR script to clean it out of the output is the way to go. I've never really paid attention to it - is it that big a deal? Maybe Peter Grainge (grainge.org) or Willam (wvanweelden.eu<http://www.wvanweelden.eu>) or Rick (robowizard.com) have something on their sites to address it.

An internal client doesn't "like" it, and I was hoping for a quick easy solution in RoboHelp.

Thanks for the additional links!

Hi,

Maybe this will help?  It helped me resolve the tooltip problem in generated PDF documents.

For what it is worth, I believe this problem is fixed in Rh10.
