Drop-down text not working in CHM (rh7)

[el_dano]

Hi,
I'm encountering a javascript error with my RH7 project:
When I generate a CHM file, the DHTML drop-down lists create a runtime error: "object expected". The object expected is "TextPopup(this)".
I'm creating the drop-downs with standard, highlight-and-insert, manner. The drop-downs work in WebHelp, and also worked in RH 5 before I imported the project. However, NO drop-downs work, project-wide, in the generated CHM.
Any ideas?
Sample code:
<p class=Body><a class=dropspot x-use-popup=#POPUP251245281 x-popup-type=pulldown
href="javascript:TextPopup(this)" id=a2>This is a test DHTML</a><robohelp><script
type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript1.2><!--
TextPopupInit('a2');
//--></script></robohelp></p>

Can you open one of the sample projects and add a dropdown to that?

[el_dano]

Yes, and it works fine. I'm creating the Drop-downs by highlighting some text and selecting <b>DHTML > Create Drop-Down Hotspot and Text</b>

Is your project located on a network drive? If so, move it to a hard drive and see if that makes a difference.

No, it's on my hard drive. What I think I'll end up doing is restarting the project from scratch and just import everything. Not an ideal solution by any means, but i don't think i really have a choice ...

That seems like an extreme response. If it will work with a sample project and not with your project try to find out what is different. Make sure that the correct javascript file is being included in your HEAD section. RoboHelp automatically includes a link to a .js file (eHelpDHTM.js, or something like that) file in every topic. This file should be in your root diectory. If this were missing or corrupt, you would get the error you report.

Good luck,

John

Try generating a CHM with EXACTLY the same name as the project.

myproject.xpj = myproject.chm

my_project.xpj = my_project.chm

etc.
