I'm wondering if anyone else is encountering an issue where a
javascript error is preventing the search feature in webhelp output
from working. The output and search was working fine a couple of
weeks ago, but just recently stopped working.
I get the following error from every browser I try the help
in:
Line: 265
Char: 18
Error: Unterminated string constant
Code: 0
URL: <path>\WebHelp\whfbody.htm
There's nothing wrong with this file, but looking through the
.js files it calls, I discovered that the whlang.js file has a
couple of errors. The first is that the terminating (I think?)
charcters "; are on a separate line than the string constant:
gaFtsStop[60] = "over
";
The second error is item 63 in this section has an unknown
character in it instead of an "o" such that the browser is reading
it as gaFts
Stp instead of gaFts
Stop.
When I fixed these errors, the search functionality works
fine. The problem is, I don't know
why RoboHelp is producing this file with all of these errors
in it, and why it's doing it now when it used to work just fine. I
can't find anything on the web or in RoboHelp's help about this, so
I'm wondering if anyone else has a) come across it b) fixed it, and
c) got RoboHelp to stop writing a broken file.
Help, anyone?
