Redirect to htm file not working

Hi there,

I want to redirect a user from a topic in a chm file to an external htm file (not a website). I am using the meta tag: <meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="4;URL=mypage.htm">. The redirect works perfectly when I preview the topic in RoboHelp, or when I open the topic using Explorer instead of RoboHelp. However, after I compile the project, the topic cannot find the htm page. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks for any ideas,

Sarah

You probably haven't accounted for the relative path to that external file (accounting for the directories in which your RH output and that external file reside.


Good luck,
Leon

Leon, you are absolutely right.. I added the ../ to the line and now it works fine.

<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="4;URL=../mypage.htm">

Thanks so much!
