Question

How are .htm pages imported and make into the TOC?

I'm having a problem with RH (9) recognizing a page which I added to the project, but it seems that I did not "import" it the right way.

Situation: I had a piece of code in a page like this:

 <a href="javascript:BSSCPopup('/Bearbeiten/FieldAttributes.htm');" 
                                         id="a1">Feldeigenschaften</a>

Before the path to the .htm was pointing into the file system outside the projects' directory and the folder "Bearbeiten" was somthing different. Anyway, what I did, was to create a folder in the filesystem within the projects' directory, named "Bearbeiten" and put that file "Fieldattributes.htm" into it.

Somehow it looked like the link is still broken, that is, the file does not appear in the "Topic List"-pod.

Then I added a new folder in the project tree, named "Bearbeiten" and the file Fieldattributes (Title "Feldeigenschaften") appeared. Fine.

Now I see the file in the Topic list, but it has "No" in the TOC column and TOCName empty.

The weird thing now is, that the file is not found when I click on the Popup-Link in the CHM topic.

How can I make this link work?

Can add the finding, that the page isn't in the content of the CHM, when examining it using HTML Help Studio. So how can I make the newly imported HTM file visible in the TOC?

If I follow you, you did that in File Explorer so RoboHelp didn't know about it. Then you imported that topic into Project Manager so it shows there and in the Topic List.

Unless you add that to the TOC it will not appear.

Have you recreated the link since you followed the correct procedure and add the topic into Project Manager?

Thanks, Peter.

Yes, that's the way I did it so far.

How do I add it to the TOC? I probably did not recreate the link.I only hand-edited the HTML code of the BSSCPopup('/Bearbeiten/FieldAttributes.htm');

Why are you editing the TOC via internal files rather than using the user interface?
