Can't link to projects in merge projects - RH8

I generated my merged file in RH8. However, I can't link between the merged projects.

I accesss the parent project and then click the link and successfully access the child1 project. Then I click the link in child 1 to go back to the parent and it doesn't work. I get the message that Explorer cannot display the web page.

All my files are on my C drive and I checked the links and they look ok.

Also, when I allow blocked content, I get two bars at the top of the window with the Contents, Index and Search instead of the usual one.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Does the fact that it's a merged project have anything to do with it?

What about file structure? Does that have anything to do with it?


Before doing anything else I think you should read and inwardly digest this article.

WebHelp or Microsoft HTML Help (CHMs)?

Sorry, Webhelp.

Also, my links point to files in certain places on my c drive. When I generate I generate to a different folder. Could that be the problem? How do I fix it?

Thanks.

I am linking to the .htm file. What do you mean INSIDE my project??

Do the files have to be in a certain folder?

Thanks.


Let's say you have a project that is located in the directory c:\Source\Project directory. Inside the project you have two folders called (FolderA and FolderB) with topic1 and topic2 in folder A and topic3 and topic4 in folder B. If you link from topic1 to topic 3, the link path added by RH is "foldera/topic3.htm". This is a relative path to a topic inside the project. If the project folder is moved, the link will still work provided none of the overall project folder/file structure is changed.

The generated output - although it is by default output to the !SSL!\Webhelp folder - is not inside the project. You can link to it but if it or the project source files are moved, it run the risk of broken links. If all you are doing is trying to link to another topic in the same help project, use the approcah I have outlined above.
