Cannot print WebHelp topics in Firefox 8 and Expand/Collapse button not functioning

I'm using RoboHelp HTML version 8.0.2.208 to generate WebHelp output. In the WebHelp output file, the Print and Expand/Collapse toolbar buttons are not functioning in Firefox 8. Table of Contents, Index, Glossary display fine in Firefox/IE. Print and Expand/Collapse buttons work fine in IE.  Do I need to enable a Firefox 8 setting (our QA dept tried enabling/disabling multiple Firefox options but didn't fix the problem)? Or, could this be a matter of editing a JavaScript file in the RoboHelp output files?

Basically, if you press the Print toolbar button in the WebHelp output, nothing happens - no error and no Print dialog appears as it does in IE.

Pressing the Expand/Collapse toolbar button in the WebHelp output does not expand/collapse the drop-down text in a topic as it does in IE.

Any suggestions much appreciated!

Dana

Hi,

What script are you using for the show/hide all and print button? My guess is that you're using an old script and that switchting to a more recent script will solve your problems. See

Willam, the PrintTopic() script worked like a charm in IE and Firefox. However, the Expand/Collapse toolbar button script (from the Toggle.js file) still doesn't work in Firefox. The instructions didn't indicate to add the toggle.js file as a dependent file in the "Advanced" tab below - I will try that to see if that does the trick. Per the instructions I indeed added the toggle.js as a baggage file in Robohelp. Do I have an incorrect OnClick javascript action below? Here is the RoboHelp 8 skin setting for the custom toolbar:

Thanks and have a nice weekend,

Hi,

Do you use the latest version of the toggle script? Just tested Peter's example project with RH9 and FF8. Get the latest version of the script from: http://www.grainge.org/pages/various_rh_projects/rh8_showhide_toolbar/toggle.js
