Question

Chrome: How do I get back/forward buttons and DHTML to work in Chrome browser?

In a Chrome browser (Version 60.0.3112.113 Official Build 64-bit) DHTML and back and forward buttons don't work. They do work in IE. I'm using RoboHelp 2017 WebHelp. DHTML effect is Elastic. Back button action OnClick is: top.frames[1].frames[1].history.go(-1); Forward button OnClick is: top.frames[1].frames[1].history.go(+1);

Is there a solution to allow DHTML elastic and Back/Forward buttons to work in Chrome?

Regards,

Helen

Hi there

Hopefully you understand that the Back and Forward buttons are for Browse Sequences.

As for the DHTML effect, these whiz bang effects only ever seem to work in IE. In my own view, these are just whiz bang effects that don't add anything of real value anyway.

Cheers... Rick

Rick, thanks for the quick response.

I accept your answer about DHTML, so will remove to cater for any Chrome users.

But I'm not referring to the Browse forward and back buttons above the TOC. (They work fine in Chrome.) I added Back and Forward buttons on the toolbar (it makes life easier for some users - so was happy to oblige). But it is these toolbar buttons that don't work in Chrome. Is there code or script I can use that will work in IE and Chrome?

Regards

Helen

Hmmm, perhaps we need more information then. For starters, let's ensure we are both on the same page.

Can you share a screen capture of the output with the buttons visible?

Thanks... Rick
