RH8 - I get the right output but the wrong IE Tab Name

Report · Nov 18, 2009

I have one project which contains two manuals

1) System Parameters

2) Bank Management

I am using Conditional Build tags to generate each manual.

If I generate the System Parameters Manual, then I get the correct content in every detail.

However, the Internet Explorer Tab says Bank Management.

What do I need to change?

The htm file which is executed clearly shows:

<html>

<head>

<!--

var sIcon="whstart.ico";

var sPath=document.location.href;

if (sPath.indexOf("http")!= -1)

document.write("<link REL=\"SHORTCUT ICON\" href=\""+ sIcon +"\">");

//-->

</script>

<title>Bank Management</title> <--------------------------------------------------------------------

</head>

Sorry, I should have posted in the WinHelp section.

Egh? You make reference to HTML so how can that be WinHelp? If your help is displaying in IE, then it must be WebHelp.

Please add a screenshot showing the problem. Insert it using the camera icon above.

I am so sorry.

I panicked and for some reason thought I had posted in the wrong forum.

WebHelp is my Primary layout

What you are seeing there is the Project Title as defined in Project Settings. You need to amend that to something that will work with both outputs.

Conditional build tags are not designed to control the tab title. You'll have to go to the File > Project Settings and I bet you have "Bank Management" in the Project Ttile field and change it there. You'll have to remember to change this for each conditional build.

You have to get up early to be infront of Peter and Colum. But as they say and as per my screen shot, you will need to change your title for each output you require.

Hi there

Indeed Peter and Colum both being on the other side of the great pond, they operate using different hours than we rebels (Americans) do.

I have a suggestion here in addition to their fine words. Please consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for the following functionality.

Allow us to specify what we see in the browser tab or title bar as an added ability in the Single Source Layout properties.

I take it Mr Stone is "working" into the night with Mr Sullivan. Is Rock Bottom involved?

Isn't it around 2am where you are?

LOL, yeah. I'm in a hotel room and about to head back to bed. No Rock Bottom here as far as I know. Perhaps dinner with Mr. Sullivan after working tomorrow.
