Calling WebHelp with data transfer to search Tab

[szija]

Hi,

Is there a possibility to call WebHelp starting with the search window and transfering  data to the search tab??

[Peter Grainge]

You can set Search to be the default in the Navigation settings when you generate.

What do you mean by "transferrng data to the search tab"?

Hi Peter,

thanks for your answer.

Our idea is, to transfer a string (search item) to Search,

that our customers are able to start Search without typing the item.....

I highly doubt that's possible out of the box, but you could always break out your Javascript programming skills to have a crack at it </grin

Opening the search tab is possible using a CSH call:”

http://example.com/WebHelp/index.htm#<<cmd=>> pan=2 (See also my article on http://wvanweelden.eu/articles/part/regular-start-page)

Populating the search field is not possible out of the box. You must modify the search field script to do this. Check whform.js line 196 & 198 (RoboHelp 9).

Greet,

Willam
