Cannot open illegal or empty URLs

I'm receiving the message "Cannot open illegal or empty URLs" when I open certain topics in one of my projects. I can click OK and the topics still open, but I'm unsure why this is happening.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks

Jonathan

Okay Peter, I've sent it through to you.

Let me know how it behaves for you.

Thanks

Jonathan


It is this line in your table that is causing the problem.

<td style="background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; border-bottom: Solid 1px #eee; background-image: url(#f8f8f8);"background="#f8f8f8" bgcolor="#F8F8F8">&#160;</td>

Set it to the same as other shaded rows and it works fine.

Any error in the developer console? Do you get the message as a popup or something else? Is there any custom script in those topics? Does it still occur after running Update DHTML effects in topics?

Kind regards,

Willam

The message appears as a popop message when I open topics in RoboHelp. Some of these topics are brand new as well. They only have a title. There's no custom script or URLs in them either.
