Question

Robohelp adding extra alt="" tag upon import

I am importing HTML files (from a Sandcastle ouput).  I get an error message about a missing image (dropDownHoverImage), but it looks to be caused by an extra  src="" tag being added by RoboHelp.  See below.

Does anyone know what causes this and how I can prevent this from happening?

SandCastle

<img id="dropDownHoverImage" src="..icons/dropdownHover.gif" style="display:  none; height; 0pt; width: 0pt;"/>

RoboHelp:

<img id="dropDownHoverImage" alt="" src="..icons/dropdownHover.gif" style="display:  none; height; 0pt; width: 0pt;"/>

I don't think the "alt" tag will be causing issues. It usually contains a short description of the image for accessibility (e.g. by screen readers).

However, if you haven't modified the image path in what you've posted, I would suspect that is the problem.

"..icons/" doesn't look right to me. Confirm that it is pointing to the correct spot - I would expect "../icons/" or just "icons/".

The image path is correct. As for the error - it only happens when I view the file in Robohelp with the "glasses."  It does not occur in the Webhelp output.

That's RH being oh, so helpful.

"Come're, little fella, I'm gonna give ya a hint about where to put a li'l 'ol tooltip for your readers. Jes' use that there alt="" doohickey.

Ya say you don't want to use it? OK, never mind...ah won't put in the output. Have a nice day."

Good luck,

Leon
