HI

I am using trail version of robohelp2015, I have few issues when i open webhelp popups from the links in webpage in IE. It works fine in Chrome.

I click on help in on page, which opens a webhelp popup window. i don't close the popup and go to next page in my test website on now again click on help. Now it refreshes the webhelp popup with blank window in IE11.

Help would be appreciated.

The page is entirely blank without skin

The script i am using to open webhelp:

<A HREF='javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0, "helpfiles/index.htm>>Mainwindow",  HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 2564462)' style="text-decoration:none;">?</A>

Also as i am quite new to robohelp, just wondering where should i change if I want my webhelp window on top whenever someone clicks help.  Do i need to change in Robohelp_csh,js file or any other file.

Thanks

Hello,

Seems like the anchor tag has a typo. There should be only one '>' character for specifying the window name.

Try changing the anchor tag to this: <A HREF='javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0, "helpfiles/index.htm>Mainwindow",  HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 2564462)' style="text-decoration:none;">?</A>

Anchor with '>>' instead of '>' makes the window more or like popup window. A '>' opens it as new tab.

There should be issue with Robohelp_csh.js script file and its functions.

I think its issue with this piece of code:

if(oDivCon)

  {

  if(gbNav6)

  {

  if(oDivCon.getElementsByTagName&&oDivCon.getElementsByTagName("iFrame").length>0)

oDivCon.getElementsByTagName("iFrame")[0].src=sFileName;

  else

  oDivCon.innerHTML=sHTML;

  }

  else

  oDivCon.innerHTML=sHTML;

  }

Hi PY563,

Have you previously seen the '>>' working in webhelp CSH output?

If yes, with which RoboHelp version?

Please also specify the version of IE you are using.
