RH 2019 Does not add all files to HTML5 output

Hi there experts

When I generate an HTML5 output from my project (Migrated from RH 2017, Currently running R 2019.0.7, Migration was done on RH 2019.0.5)  I noticed that not all my files are being exported to the output folder.
I use the onclick event in my pages as n have multiple tabs on a page.


The initial first page will be displayed without any problems, but as soon as I select any of the other tabs / onclick events I receive a make sure the web address

//ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff.htm# is correct , I then selected the page properties to see if the link is actually correct, the path to the page is correct, but the page dos not exist in the folder.
A typical layout would be test_c.htm and In test_c.htm I will use the onclick event to link to test_p.htm and test_r.htm to open them.


Any Help would be appreciated

Are you using 2019 Classic or the new 2019?

If the latter, what goes into the output is controlled by the TOC. A topic must be in the TOC or have a link to it from a topic that is in the TOC. It's described in more detail in the RoboHelp Reimagined sample project. Also test that the output works in that sample project so that we can narrow the issue down to your project.

By onclick event, you mean a simple cross topic hyperlink?

Hi Peter

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry for not mentioning, yes I am using the new 2019.

I will have a look at the RoboHelp Reimagined sample project, to see if there is anything I missed, with is more than possible.

By oneclick event I am referring to the actual code, after the links did not work I started to investigate the actual code.
There is a total of 13 projects I took over from the previous documenter, what I managed to find out is that the projects was created in RH10 and just before he left he migrated it to RH2017, and then I migrated it to the new RH2019.

My problem is that of the 13 projects each consists of round about 1100 htm files and the onclick event is referenced 3 times on average per htm page.

Here is an exerpt of one om my pages with the oneclick events:

  <div class="TabOverlay">

    <p class="TabLabel"><span class="CurTab">Concept</span> <span class="Tab"                   onclick="document.location=&#39;my_document2_p.htm&#39;">Procedure</span> <span class="Tab1"   onclick="document.location=&#39;my_document3_r.htm&#39;">Quick Reference</span></p>

  </div>

I will play around with the simple cross topic hyperlink.

To the best of my knowledge that is code that your predessor wrote rather than working the menus and toolbars.

I'm guessing that the documents referred to do not show in Project Manager in 2017 and were perhaps added as baggage files. Is that the case? If that's the case, I think you will need to add them as linked files in 2019.

onclick (not oneclick) is a javascript term and I don't write javascript code so I can't help but I thought there had to be some action associated. On click do something.

Maybe someone else can offer some help here.
