whtopic.js error

  • April 13, 2011

Hello,

I currently am loading a webhelp project, when I attempt to view a topic, I receive and error:

An error as occured in the script of this page.

Line: 392
Char: 15
Error: Expected ')'
Code: 0

URL: file///C:/WP%20Product%20ISO/whtopic.js

I opened up the whtopic.js and looked at line 392 and it is below in red.  I have no issues with compiling or anything, just cannot view a topic in Robohelp, and if that popup error comes up, I cannot close it unless I force close Robohelp all together, which is quite annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated.

function autoSync(nSync)
{
if(nSync==0) return;
if(isInPopup()) return;
if(Knowledge DatabaseutMostTopic()
  sync();
}

Thanks,


Nathan

    Hi,

    It looks like something went wrong in the file. Replace the incorrect line

         if(Knowledge DatabaseutMostTopic()

    with:

        if(isOutMostTopic())

    For my understanding, you cannot open the specific topic in RoboHelp, or can't you open any topics in the output? If it's only the output, there's probably something messing with the whtopic.js file. Try creating a new project and check for the same error.

    If you have this problem inside RoboHelp, you may have imported an output topic instead of a source topic. That may require you to clean up.

    Greet,

    Thanks for the reply,

    Output works fine.  It is just when I am within Roobhelp.  If I right click a topic > view, it will attempt to load the topic but with this popup.

    I did change the line 392 scripting as you suggested, and it resolved that line, but now other lines are throwing scripting errors.

    Hmm i think i know what caused this

    'FIND AND REPLACE ALL'...

    as I needed to remove the term 'ISO' and change with Knowledge Database..., that line got change as it had 'ISO' in the characters.

    is there anyways to recreate fresh on this or do i have to try and resolve all the scripting errors?

    I have about 32 projects, so I'm sure its this project as the other ones work fine.

    Thanks,

    Nathan

    Ok, that was indeed the issue, I looked at a working script and copied exact info as it should be and its not throwing errors anymore.  Thanks for all the help
