Followup to Displaying Topic HTML File Name

[Guest]

A week ago I posted a question about whether it is possible to display the topic file name in the Web Address field.

Rick responded that it was not possible, but gave me a good alternative with a Javascript that displays the file path in the RH topic.

The only problem is that you have to go to each topic, add the Javascript and the file path information.

Is it possible to automate this process? Is there a way to have the Javascript automatically update the displayed topic location?

Thanks,

Hello again

I'm not sure what you are asking here. From what you posted it would seem you don't want to have to visit each topic to insert the script? I"m unaware of a way to cause an HTML page to simply display something without specifically adding it to the page.

Maybe someone else knows how to accomplish that. I certainly don't.

Cheers... Rick

Could you not use FAR? http://www.helpware.net/FAR

It would need several passes to ensure the relative path to the JS file is correct.

First use FAR to get a list of all files where the relative path to the CSS is say "mystyles.css" and use that to insert the script reference where the path is "myscript.js"

Then do the same for "../mystyles.css" and use that to insert the script reference where the path is "../myscript.js" and so on.

Hi Rick,

This is the javascript you gave me.

<implicit_p><input type=text name=text onFocus="select()" value="C:\ASKI Release Notes\Training_Plan\Lesson_6\ASKI_SFA_General_Parameters\ActivationKey.htm" style="width: 696px;"

I would like to avoid manually entering the file path for each topic. Is there a javascript code would automatically display the file path and name?

You're right that I have to open each topic to insert the script, but it would make it much easier for me not to have to enter the file path as well.

Thanks,

Chaim

Hi Peter,

I really know very little about Javascript, so your response went way over my head. Please look at my response to Rick. If I your response answered my question, please explain it to me again.

Thanks,

Chaim

I hadn't looked at the whole thread when I suggested how you could add a reference to a javascript file. What you have posted as being the javascript that Rick gave you is not what I would have expected so I think it best that Rick takes a look at your response first.

He will understand my response and can comment on how it would fit.

Hi there

Nearly overlooked this one after the long holiday weekend!

See if the link below helps any.

Note that I'm not suggesting it be used "as is". What I'm suggestng is that you could pick apart the techniques to accomplish what you are wanting to accomplish. In other words, you probably have some homework to do.

Cheers... Rick
