I'm having the same issue with a web help RH v12.0.2.384 in Google Chrome 48.0.2564.103m.  My project opens & works fine in IE & Firefox, even when opening it locally in Google Chrome it works.  Generate & publish it and the only thing that appears is a flashing light blue banner at the top of the page. Any help or direction would be most welcome.  I've been to William's site & haven't found any nuggets there about this particular issue.  Did find a couple other "good to knows"!

This is a problem with Chrome. Basically when you publish the Help file locally, you need to test it with Edge or Firefox. (Dont use IE... unless you just want to cross-check layout. IE is dead tech at this point.)

The Help File will look fine in chrome when you put it on the server.

When posting please always give your version of RoboHelp. It is important,

particularly with questions such as this one.

I haven't seen this problem yet. I just tried WebHelp on RH2015.0.2 on Windows 10 and it seems to work at first glance.

What exactly is happening? Does the help get into an infinite reload loop or something? Also, does this happen with WebHelp output from one of the sample projects as well? If you open the Developer console with F12, do you get any errors on the Console tab?

Yes, there are patches for some versions of RH – see Willam’s site (wvanweelden.eu) for the list.
