How can I assign a button to a .jsx for quicker access? Currently I have to use 6 mouseclicks and 3 keyboard strokes!!

Well...

You actually *CAN* link a toolbar button to a script.

Right-click the toolbars and choose Customize... Then from the Customize dialog, click the Commands tab and find the Scripts item on the left side. Click the script you want and drag it from the dialog to the Toolbar.

If you want to see an image in the toolbar instead of the script name, right-click the new area in the toolbar and choose an image.

Well... your description was not helpful at all.. but:

The user script has to be copied to the write protected folder "%programfiles%/abobe/.." where all the other scripts can also be found.

Honestly: this is not user friendly, but it works somehow at least.

Hi there

First off, I need to ask if you are using the Adobe RoboHelp application to author help files? If not, you are in the wrong forum.

If you are using Adobe RoboHelp, can you perhaps fill in some detail about exactly what you are doing?

Cheers... Rick

I am in the right forum.

Sorry for the confusion, but I do not know any other way to write a "user script" than Javascript. So I wrote a .jsx for RH and I want to assign it to a button now.

Okay, cool.

Will the button be in the body of a topic? In the toolbar of WebHelp? Where will it be?

And what about the script? Is it just a block of code that is self contained? Or did you put it in a .JS file that you now want to include in the project?

And about the file itself. I'm not sure I know what a .JSX file is. Special form of JavaScript?

Cheers... Rick
