Displaying name of specific file name in browser address bar

[DGR2]

Hi,

I am using RoboHelp8 and generating my file using Single Source Layouts - WebHelp (Primary Layout).

When selecting a specific page via the Contents toolbar, I would like to have the address of that specific file displayed in the address bar but for some reason, the page displayed is always only my default topic page.

I'd appreciate your help with this.

Thanks,

DGR2

Sorry but that is the way that WebHelp has always worked. If you look at the address shown in the browser, that never changes. The page shown there is the start page and that comprises three frames, one with the topic called. Because the browser is always showing the start page, the address does not change even when the content of one of the frames changes. That is the way frames work generally, some web sites work the same way.

Thanks very much for the quick reply.

Hi there

Are all you wanting is just the file name? Or do you also want the path leading to it?

Take a look at the link below and scroll to the bottom of the page. Note that I've accomplished this by inserting a form field and populating it using JavaScript. So if this is what you want or will work, you could then pick apart my page (or have me post the code).
