Hi

I have just upgraded to RH9, an dhave the latest patch. I noticed that drop downs I have created don't work They did in RH8.

Here is the senerio

  • Upgrade project
  • Compile it as a chm file
  • Drop downs work
  • No edit the topic  and recompile
  • View same topic in the chm file. Drop down link formatting appears, and appears clickable (Hand over) but when clicked the drop down does not work

Any ideas

This is happing on 2 PCs one Windows 7 one XP both wiht the latest version of RH

Thanks

Tim

    Hi,

    I assume you still have a backup of your RoboHelp 8 project. If not, first create a backup of the RoboHelp 9 project.

    Try Tools > Update DHTML effects in topics. Does that solve your problem?

    Greet,

    Hi there

    Perhaps you might try clicking Tools > Update DHTML Effects in Topics. Then recompile. Any difference?

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi Rick

    Thanks for that

    I will try it. Just a point expanding text is also the same. I have tried in a brand new project (not upgraded) and it works fine. Let's hope you answer works.

    Thanks again
