Question

TOC Links won't open New Window, Whole Page

RoboHelp HTML 11, Internet Explorer 11. Multiscreen HTML5 layout.

I'm trying to experiment with the different ways of opening links: New Window, Whole Page, Same Frame, etc.
Yesterday the different variations worked the way they should, but today every link in the TOC opens as if set to "Default (none)".

As for Links on topic pages, "New Window" opens a new tab, and "Whole Page" seems to go to Default (including the sidebar, which I gather should not be there).

Any ideas?

When I use full screen size on PC then TOC links open full new page OK. But when I view same on iphone or android tablet the targeted page opens in the original frame. If then I click on link from the embedded site it clears to full frame. I've tried html 'break out' code all over the place but no luck. My site is legalmax.info.

Hi,

Responsive or Multiscreen?

For the HTML5 version, the frame options for links won't work.

  • New Window should open a new tab. That is as expected.
  • The rest will work like a regular link.

The frame options really are just for WebHelp only. And only the new window and whole page make any sense.

Kind regards,

Willam

I'm using Multiscreen HTML5.

I want the user to see the video, by name, in the navigation pane on the left, but the video has to open in a window or tab without the navigation pane (which is why I wanted "New Window" or "Whole Screen".)  Is there a way to accomplish this?

What kind of video are you inserting, and how are you doing that? You could create a link to a page outside the help system that hosts the video. A link to a different topic will simply open up the skin again.

Kind regards,

Willam
