Hosting RH frameless output in Blazor page

[Thomas26633399u78z]

Hello, I would like to display a frameless output in a Blazor page. Whether I call this page in an iFrame or as an Oblect, links from the content area do not work properly. If I link to another topic within a topic, it is opened, but the navigation area is no longer displayed. What can I change here?

[Peter Grainge]

I can't help you with Blazor but it looks like it is just a way of creating a web app and from that you are calling the help.

Open the generated help directly by clicking the View Output icon above the presets. Does it work OK from there?

If not, how are you creating the cross topic links?

Hello Peter, the standalone output works fine. The problem is not blazor spezific. If you open a frameless output like this
<object data="Regulation/project/index.htm" width="100%" height="1200"></object> or in an ifame the problem is everywhere the same. The links are like this
<p><a href="A1.htm">Abschnitt 1 Anwendungsbereich, Begriffsbestimmungen</a></p>. 
If you click on this link the navigation pane disapears. If you navigate via the navigation pane everything is fine.

Thank you for your help

If I create an iFrame in a topic and link it to another topic, I get this.

<p><iframe src="../Folder_Two/Fifth_Topic.htm" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>

Opened normally such links work fine as you will know.

Your call to the complete help will be something like this.

After opening a site in an iFrame I thought it should work normally.

I suggest for this one you need to go to Adobe Support. See https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp for your Adobe Support options. The email link tcssup@adobe.com is recommended as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including RoboHelp.

I made a short video: 

When I navigate through the navigation area, everything works fine, when I use the link in the content area, the navigation area disappears. The RH Output is called from a web browser control on a local computer, as mentioned:
<object data="Regulation/project/index.htm" width="100%" height="1200"></object> 

[Thomas26633399u78z]

no more suggestion?

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

Did you contact Support as Peter recommended?

[Thomas26633399u78z]

yes but just a few hours ago,

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

Give it a couple of days, then report back if you haven't heard anything from them.

[Thomas26633399u78z]

I heard from them. The put it as an upcoming feature in a list. "have logged feature enhancement request #RH-12902 and escalated the issue to the product team". It's not the best way for me, because I have no timeline or conforment, if it would be available in the future. I think I ave to search for a different solution.

Thank you for your help

Did you experiment with other frameless outputs? Or try using Responsive HTML5 layouts?

[Thomas26633399u78z]

yes it seems to be the same in all frameless outputs. Responsive Html 5 is working, but I like the framelss way and templates more

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

Hmm, I'm still not 100% clear on what's going on - but it sounds like it has something to do with how it's getting opened in the application. What about launching it in a new tab? Does it behave the way you want then?

[Thomas26633399u78z]

Hello,

you could see it in this example:

Thanky

Interesting - works fine if you right-click the link and open it in its own tab - click on it within the iframe & you lose your TOC navigation. Must be something with the JavaScript when launching in the iframe.
