Browse sequences in merged WebHelp

Hi all,

I'm working on a merged WebHelp project and I've noticed that in the output each child project's browse sequence is handled individually. That is, there's a full stop at the end of the browse sequence for each child project and I have to select the first topic in the next child project within the TOC to start that browse sequence. Is there a way to integrate these so that the browse sequences are handled consecutively?

Incidentally, has anybody else noticed a long delay in loading the TOC in Firefox when one of the child project outputs is missing? This help file contains information for 3 separate but related software products, so users may have between 1 and 3 of the products (and, consequently, between 1 and 3 of the child help files) on their machine. If anyone has any ideas on how to kick Firefox into displaying the TOC in a more timely fashion, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks,
Melinda

I have noticed that although changing the refresh rate fixes the load problem, the TOC is not autosynchronising immediately. It does start to sync after the user has clicked some topics but that is not really satisfactory.I have found an alternative method.

Remove the redirect.

Paste the following above the </head> tag, amending the path to the same as you had in the redirect.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
<!--Script courtesy of http://www.web-source.net - Your Guide to Professional Web Site Design and Development //-->
var time = null
function move() {
window.location = './mergedProjects/child_1/child_1_topic.htm'
}
//]]></script>

Amend the body tag as below. Change the timeout if required, it is set in milliseconds.


<body onload="timer=setTimeout('move()',100)">

This gives the same redirect but the TOC will sync OK. It works OK in IE as well.

Peter, thank you!!! Took me a while to find time to try this out, but it works like a charm. In all seriousness, I don't know what I'd do without you-- between your site and your comments here, you make my job so much easier!

Best,

Melinda
