Question

No Search Results page in Responsive HTML5 Output.

Hello,

I am using RoboHelp HTML version 11.0.3 and have just finished my second help project, which I need to publish in Responsive HTML5 format. I had already published one project for some new software designed to run on iOS devices using the Responsive HTML5 format for that as well. Despite some issues with the Theme1 screen layout being corrupted, which I was able to resolve by importing another screen layout, I was able to get that project released. When I compiled this latest project, however, I get several errors stating that "The Search Results widget is not allowed in the Topic Screen layout page. No Search Result layout page is present in the screen layout - the search textbox will not work as expected."

Long story short, when the project is compiled and I view the result, there is no search control to open a search page see first image below). Instead a search field is displayed at the bottom of the initial page (see second image) and sure enough, if I enter a term in there and click the search button, I get an index of all the files in my project (as opposed to a proper list of results).

  

I'm not sure why this is happening when I'm literally using the same exact screen profile as in the other project. I'm experiencing other display/formatting issues as well like some of my headings not displaying properly, the text in the header not displaying properly, and so on (these are things I experienced with the original corrupted profile, but this is the NEW profile I imported to resolve those issues). The main issue is the search page though.

Has anyone experienced anything like this and if so, can you offer a solution. I need to get this project properly compiled and released.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Dave

Hi,

Do you see this issue only on iOS or also when using other browsers? If the other project works fine, try exporting the layout from the other project and importing it into the new project.

Kind regards,

Willam
