Correct syntax for WebHelp CSH?

[rlauriston]

The syntax in the RoboHelp 9 help topic "Call a context-sensitive function for WebHelp or FlashHelp" seems wrong:

http://servername>/robohelp/rest/robowindow?wtype=ctx&context=<MAP ID>

Is this correct?

https://<servername>:<port>/<path to WebHelp>/<WebHelp start page>.htm?wtype=ctx&context=<MAP ID>

Is there any alternative syntax I should consider? Are there advantages or disadvantages to using the RoboHelp_csh.js functions?

I cannot help you on this one but maybe this link will provide the information you need. http://www.wvanweelden.eu/robohelp/context_sensitivity_in_webhelp

Unfortunately, that article is only about regular WebHelp, not WebHelp Pro.

As far as I can make out from the JavaScript API, the correct synax would be:

window)(&cmd=newwnd&rtype=iefrm)

Replace italic text with correct value. Text between parentheses is optional. I do not use RoboHelp server so this is purely based on what I can gather from the API. Hopefully Column or another RH Server power user can tell you more.

The comments in RoboHelp_CSH.js (in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\CSH API\JavaScript on my system) are helpful. I guess JavaScript is the way to go since the URL approach is not not really documented.
