Hello. I'm attempting to use a Home button in my Webhelp that will return the user to the Default help page. I'm using the same html code that I found in another help system (whose Home button DOES work):

<input TYPE=submit
VALUE=Home
onClick="window.location.href(&quot;introduction.htm&quot;)"


However, when I click the Home button in my help system, it displays a blank page within the existing page. Essentially, I'm seeing 2 blank pages (one "Powered by RoboHelp" message under another). What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks!
Mary Beth

If your &quot; is like that in your code, try substituting a single quote like this:

onClick="window.location.href('introduction.htm')"

Hope this helps

In case none else has said this to you, Welcome to the forums.

Mary Beth,

A followup:

You might get the topic inside a WebHelp frame inside a WebHelp frame. If that happens, please post back.

Another thought: You can do it more easily by using a regular RH link from the button to the introduction. Just don't select "Open in a New Window."

Harvey, I can't use the regular RH link from the button because when I highlight the button, the Hyperlink icon isn't lit.

Woohoo! I just created another button and tried it and it worked...go figure! Must be some leftover Halloween spooks in my system.

Thanks, Harvey.
