A. What is the coding to call the WebHelp default topic using a window called "Main" using the .htm file name (not a Map ID), and show the TOC pane and the topic pane?

B. What is the coding to call a WebHelp context sensitive topic using the .htm file name (not a Map ID) and display the topic pane only? We use the Show link inside the topic to show the TOC.

Hi there

It would be simply the path to the topic. For example, if you normally open the help via http://www.somesite.com/someapp/help/index.htm, that would open the start page where the full frameset would display.

Say you have a folder involved and a topic inside the folder, The link would then look like this:

http://www.somesite.com/someapp/help/somefolder/sometopic.htm

Cheers... Rick

While Rick's suggestion works, you can also specify the HTML path through a true context sensitive help call. See Context sensitivity in WebHelp and FlashHelp | WvanWeelden.eu for details.

Kind regards,

Willam
