RoboHelp window not opening correctly

Hello All,

Absolute RH newb here. So calling robo help from a URL thusly:

http://OurRoboHelpServer:8080/mybondapp/server?area=general&prj=MyBondApp&ctxid=11001

Opens the window, but it's a 90x90 pixel window that must be resized. I tried looking at the TechScribe articles and Wvan Weelden and I don't understand how to do the things described. If I were a front end developer I'm sure it would be clear, however I am not. We have an existing JavaScript function:

function redirectToRoboHelp() {300

    var r$self = r$(this);

    var data = r$self.viewModel();

    var navigationURL = data.BondInfoModel.BondMain.HelpSystemContextUrl();

    window.open(navigationURL, target="_blank", "left=3000,top=3000,width=2000, height=2000");

}

And I'm thinking I need to invoke RH_ShowHelp(hParent, a_pszHelpFile, uCommand, dwData).  I don't understand how to do that from where I'm at.

Thanks,

BDub

The RH_ShowHelp is part of the RH API. If youu open the JavaScript API, there is a lot of comments at the top of that file detailing how to call it. The RH_ShowHelp function will open a window for you. Could you take a look at that and see whether that helps?
