Map ID call in RH11

I have been using RH7 and Map IDs.  I have upgraded to RH11, but I cannot figure out how to get my Map IDs to work.  In RH7 it was a simple URL call, .../roboapi.asp?Context=Map ID  What would the call be in RH11?

New Twist...I did some testing with Google Chrome and found if I turned off Pop-Up Blockers, the Map IDs (CSH) work.  I tried this in IE11 and I get the message "The help page you are looking for can be found at here." (clicking on here will display the CSH). We only use IE so having the users switch to Google Chrome is out, and Pop-Up Blockers turned off is against company IE policy.  Any ideas?

What about having pop ups allowed for your site? How about adding the help as a “Trusted Location” in IE11?

I tested that and it does partially resolve the problem in IE11.  It still gives the message and the user must click the here link.

What CSH method are you using?

Jeff,

I am not sure. In RH7 I used the Map ID tool and have mapped 200+. These are called by a web application such as, http://<server<http://%3cserver> name>/roboapi.asp?context=Map ID

I have upgrade my RH7 projects to RH10 and then to RH11 and I need to be able to call the Map IDs. Also, when users call needing application support on a particular topic I will send them the above URL, with the appropriate Map ID, so they can click and get right to the topic.
