Hi all
Oh dear oh me oh my! Stop the presses! I think I may know
what is going on here.
Earlier you posted the following:
As stated before my problem concerns the links that I have
created. When I am in RoboHelp and I click on the blue eye glasses
located on the toolbar to view a topic that has one to several
links included, that topic opens in a separate window and
everything works great.
When I compile and then try to run the project, it opens in a
web browser as it should. I can then drill down to a topic via
'Contents' that has one or more links and the topic opens as it
should. When I click on any of the links the browser returns the
message that this page can not be displayed.
Here is the perplexing part.
If I then go to the Browse Sequence that is located at the
top of the browser window and click off of the selected topic that
has the links onto any other topic to open it, and then go back to
the original topic listed in the Browse Sequence, click on it to
open it - all links work as they should.
At first, I'm thinking you are talking about WebHelp. But you
then mention the browse sequence bar. This implies a compiled .CHM
file. So here's what I'm thinking. Somehow, you are opening a topic
in a new window. A browser window, right? And once you are there,
the links fail, but ONLY when you click them inside this window. If
you display the same topic INSIDE your compiled .CHM file, things
work, right?
I'm guessing that the links are failing precisely because the
browser window isn't the same thing as the .CHM viewer. Once you
step outside of the .CHM viewer, things get confused big time.
Am I right? Am I right? Huh? Are we there yet? ;)
If so, if you really want to display topics in different
windows where the links all work, you will probably need to resort
to creating secondary windows and using those instead. This way you
would remain within the cozy confines of the help viewer.
Cheers all... Rick
