See Also with a text link

Previously, when I have generated a CHM file, I have been using a hidden See Also control with a text link for "related topics". In WebHelp this does not seem to work. Is this correct, or is it in any way possible to use a text link in this way with WebHelp?

Regards,
Rannveig Østevik

Hi Rannveig

Typically it goes like this.

1. Insert RelatedTopics control and note name by hovering the control. Should be RelatedTopics if it is the first, object1 or OBJECT1 if the second (depending on how the control was inserted)

2. Select the text your user will click to activate the control and perform the same steps as if you were linking to another page.

3. In the Hyperlink dialog, instead of listing the path to the page, type JavaScript:RelatedTopics.Click(). Note that if the control name is object1 or OBJECT1, you substitute this for RelatedTopics.

Hopefully this helps... Rick :)

HI Rannveig

This should work just fine. Makes me wonder what is breaking. The process of creating WebHelp should just carry it right along.

Maybe we need to investigate what else might be happening.

Cheers... Rick :)

I did find a description of how to do this a long time ago, but couldn't find it again now. I tried searching the archives of these forums and the HATT list, but couldn't find anything. So I just tried to copy what I had done in the other project, but obviously that wasn't good enough...

I guess it is the link from the text that is incorrect. What is the correct syntax for this link?
