Does anyone understand how the WebHelp TOC might behave
differently in IE vs. FireFox?
I used RoboHelp HTML 6 to build a WebHelp (no skin) DHTM no
applet system for a J2EE Web Application that will replace a static
HTML based system. However, it looks like the application for
security reasons doesn’t let you directly call pages. Another
words, I can’t get to
http://hostname/myapps/help/index.htm
I have to go through a servlet for every HREF and some SRCs
http://hostname/myapps/help?helppage=myapps/help/index.htm
So I used ANT to create some scripts based on the log file
that RoboHelp spits out. These convert HREFs and SRC so they are
called through the servlet. I had to make a few other edits and
prevent it from converting links in a few place. I’ve been
able to actually get the thing to work in IE. The TOC and Search
function and everything seems happy. (I’m not using an Index
or Glossary)
However, the TOC pane will not load in FireFox so I have no
idea if the search works either. I’m getting a 404 for the
left Nav pane in FireFox.
Is this called differently in FireFox and IE?
