forward / back buttons are missing

[lhvi]

Hi

I know that this topic was discussed in http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=65&catid=451&threadid=1214168&h... And there is a link to solution. Unfortunately, it is not quite clear to me where to find the solution.

Can anyone help

Thanx
Lena

Hi Lena,

Once you have downloaded the webhelp.chm from Ricks site :
http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard/NewProject.htm#Downloads/Skinny_on_Skins.htm

Open it up and check out the topic 'Change the function of the Browse Buttons to function like browser Back & Forward buttons.'

Nifty trick!
Thanks
Craig

Hi Craig

Thanks.

Problem: when I try to open the js file I receive an error message saying Microsoft JScript compilation error.

Anyone?

Kind regards
Lena

Hi Lena,

You need to open the file in Notepad.

Right click on the whtbar.js far and select Open With - Notepad.

Does this help?
thanks
Craig

Hi

Yes that helped. I am then supposed to locate the text "Previous Topic". But this text does not exist in the code?

Kind regards
Lena

Hi Lena. Maybe your buttons were called something other than "Previous Topic" originally or maybe you've had a bit of finger trouble? Look for the second text string mentioned in the topic (it starts with "onclick=\") and look for the "var svTitle=" about two lines up. What does the value in the double quotes say?

Hi

It says

sButton="<a title=\""+svTitle+"\" id=\"btnshowhide\" class=\"btnshow\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"showHidePane();return false;\">";

Hi Lena, how about trying this search:

In whtbar.js, search for

else if(sType=="avprev")

and scroll down a couple of lines to the

var svTitle="

Whatever's after the quote should be the Previous Topic text.

Then search for

else if(sType=="avnext")

and scroll down a couple of lines to the

var svTitle="

Whatever's after the quote is the text for your Next Topic.

Hi Clubhans,

Thanks

I find else 'if(sType=="avprev")' but I am not sure what to do with it - so I think I'll give it up. But thanks anyway.

Kind regards
Lena

c'mon, lena, don't give up. you're almost there.

ClubHans is right on the money.
it sounds like you didn't go far enough into whtbar.js; you're by the "Show Navigation Component, " right? gotta go lower. like lines 808 and 827 on my whtbar.js. (plus, it really helps if you use a text editor that has line numbers; i use a trial copy of texpad, which is better than notepad: http://www.textpad.com/).

look for else if(sType=="avnext" (line 806 on my whtbar.js)
just below should be var svTitle="Next Topic"; (line 808); this is what needs to be edited—whatever's in the double quotes. the same with the var svTitle line after else if(sType=="avnprev").

good luck, my friend.

OK Lena, you're right there!

This will put ya right on the code that you need to modify.

In whtbar.js, look for:

onclick=\"goAveNext();return false;

and change what's highlighted to read:

onclick=\"javascript:history.forward(1);return false;

Now, in the same file, look for:

onclick=\"goAvePrev();return false;

and change what's highlighted to read:

onclick=\"javascript:history.back(1);return false;

Those are the exact locations and mods that you'll need to make to get to where you wanna go.

Once you make these mods to the file, make sure that your project has a browse sequence in it so the buttons will appear. Also be sure that the Browse Sequences box is checked when you generate. Then you're all set!
