Some div tags are dropped during a RH7 to RH8 upgrade

Hey everyone,

I have an issue when trying to upgrade from RH7 to RH8. I have images throughout the project that are hidden unless the user clicks an icon. When the user clicks the icon the image is displayed in the article. This is done using Javascript and CSS. Unfortunately when I try to upgrade the project to RH8 the div tags that contain the reference to the image disappear. I cant figure out why they disappear or what I need to do to keep the tags in the project.

I'll include a portion of the code including a little code surrounding the affected code.

RH7 Project

</ol>
<p class="whs18"><a class="dropspot" href="javascript:TextPopup(this)" id="a10" style=" text-decoration: none; "><span class=ShowMe><img src="../Mars_Reports_Windows/Transaction_for_an_Issuer/showme.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="15px" height="15px" border="0" class="img_whs19">
Show Me</span></a></p>
<div class="droptext" id="POPUP271620860" style="display: 'none'; " x-ss-type="dropdown">
<p><img src="../../MARS_Screenshots/Group_Mananger_Rebalance_Acct_Mgr_Tab.jpg" width="368px" height="355px" border="0" class="img_whs20"></p>
</div>
<ol start=2>

RH8 Project

</ol>
<p class="whs18">
<a class="dropspot" href="javascript:TextPopup(this)" style="text-decoration: none;" id="a10"><span class="ShowMe"><img src="../Mars_Reports_Windows/Transaction_for_an_Issuer/showme.gif" class="img_whs19" alt="" width="15" height="15" border="0" /> Show Me</span></a></p>
<ol start="2">

As you can see that whole div class="Droptext" tag is gone. Any help would be much appreciated. Please let me know if you need any more info on my project. Thanks!

    I made a copy of the v7 project file, deleted everything in the !SSL! folders and zipped it up. The size of the zip file is 62.6 MB. Before I upgraded I was seeing red squares in the project.


    Oh dear. That confirms my fear that somehow you have got output files into your source files, maybe you published to that folder.

    Within a version of RH, you could correct that, albeit with quite a bit of work.

    However, what you are trying to do is upgrade an output file and the process is not designed for that.  You have to decide on the least work. Uninstall RH8 and install RH7, fix the problem and then upgrade or just get on with redoing those dropdowns in RH8.

    The code looks like that for a dropdown produced by RH but the way you describe the use of javascript and CSS makes it sound like you have used a home brewed method. Was this all done using RH's dropdowns?

    Have you tried Tools > Update DHTML?

    Thanks for the reply. I inherited the help system from someone else so I wasn't the one who created the drop downs. I was under the impression that it was a home brewed method for drop downs but after asking around I believe that this was done using RH drop downs. I tried Tools --> Update DHTML from RH7 and I couldn't find what it had changed. I also tried it from RH8 and it definately did something, the only problem is that the div tag is already gone (from the upgrade from RH7 help to RH8 help) so it cant really help much.

    Do you still have a copy of the project from before it was upgraded? Has much work been done since then?

    Maybe repeating the upgrade from a copy of the last RH7 backup will go OK. Was it upgraded with the project on a network?
