How to make 'top of page' (href="#") work for topics in the sub folder?

I have used the following code in the master page:

The link works fine for topics which are under the Project Files (main) folder, but the link won't work for topics under Project Files > Sub folder. Is there any way to fix this?

What is the HTML of the hyperlink in the subfolders? I think that RH may be changing the link to href="../#" for subfolders.

Yes William, here is the code:

<a href="../#"><img alt="" src="../gray_up.jpg" title="Top of page" style="border: none;

margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 10px;" border="0" /></a>

Is there any way to change this behavior?

Thanks!

Hi there

The problem with hyperlinks such as this in master pages is that when a topic uses the master page and it's inside a folder, the links in the master page are dutifully amended so they still work from the folder location. But as you have seen, in this case it's a bit troublesome.

I'm not a "roll script off the top of your head" sort of guy, so I'd be having to employ some Google ninja to locate a suitable script to begin with, but I know you can create a JavaScript that performs a "write in" of HTML code. I think the script has statements that read something like "document.write()" or some such.

So that would be my suggestion. Create a small JavaScript function that performs the task of simply writing in the link. Since it would all be in JavaScript, RoboHelp would be none the wiser that it would need to amend the code.

Perhaps Willam can shed more light on this, as he seems to be more well versed in scripting!
