I am using RoboHelp HTML 6. One of the images is not
displayed in the compiled chm file even though it exists in the
Image folder and is displayed on the screen in the topic before it
is compiled. It is a png but I have also tried with a jpeg. I have
also redone the image a few times and still get the same result.
The only thing I can think of that is "different"
from other images is that its background is white and not the
regular grey of a dialog. But, the background shading is
transparent so I don't know why this would make a difference.
Another thing that is "different" is that its name is listed
in the Image folder with %26 in the middle even though it is saved
without it and none of the other images have %26 in them.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can't help you right now but there are several posts in
recent months on this but only with PNGs. You may have to extend
your number of days searched from the default in your forum
profile.

I believe that "%26" is the code for the ampersand (&),
which has a special role in URL syntax. Therefore, you'd not want
to use it in the names of your source files because it's likely to
throw the HTML Help viewer into confusion. Best to stick to
alphanumeric characters and underscores only.
Thanks, Pete. That was the answer. I removed the "&" from
the file name and the image was displayed in the compiled chm.
Something so small caused so much trouble. Thanks again!
