1. Re: Responsive HTML5 with mergedprojects, created a hyperlink from an html file in the parent project to a child html file and it is not working! The child shows up in the parent TOC, but need to link. Please help!
What does your link look like? And how did you create the link?
A typical merged Responsive help is structured as follows:
index.htm (Master start page)
mergedProjects
childName
index.htm (Child start page)
A link from the child index.htm page would look like this: ../../index.htm
Kind regards,

William,
Many thanks for your response! First, let me say that I've watched many of your instructional videos. They've been incredibly helpful and I'm grateful you've made them available!
Second, that pretty much is my set up! I've taken some screen shots... maybe there is another way or I am missing something obvious.
This is how I want it to look when the user clicks the main help icon:
They click on Advising or Events Management and get a list of all the documentation available:
The two topics above are in my Parent project: EXi Help Hub
which has Introduction.htm as its start page and default topic (similar to Index.htm)I created the link to the child project by highlighting Basic Features Online Help, right-clicking, and selecting add a hyperlink, then using the file browser,
Browsed to the child project (CM) and selected its start page and default topic, which is also Introduction.htm (similar to your example above only we use just introduction as opposed to index, but if changing the name to index will remedy the issue, I'll do it in a heartbeat))
After compiling it didn't make the path relative. So I updated it to .../CM/Introduction.htm
Still didn't work...
What am I missing? Is there a better way to accomplish this? We'll need separate projects for each software component and our product is being designed for responsive design so the help needs to be as well. Part of the reason we went with the RH11 upgrade.
Again, many kind thanks for your time and help!!!

Ah, I think I see the problem. I thought you wanted to go from the child to the master, but you need to go from the master to the child.
In that case, the link in the master should be: mergedProjects/CM/Introduction.htm (if the topic is in the root of the master project.)
Only if you go from the child to the master, the link in the child should be: ../../Index.htm
Kind regards,
