Incorrect location of popup windows in RH8 after conversion from RH Office X4

We have a CHM file created with RH Office X4. We need to Japanise it. We downloaded a trial version of RB8 and converted the project files to the new format. When we built the new CHM file with RH8, all worked OK, except the pop up windows. We noticed three issues, two of them were really frustrating.

1) The location of the pop was window was incorrect. In the old CHM file, the windows popped where your cursor was when you clicked. In the CHM file created with RH8, on one page, the location of the pop up window was correct, but on all other pages, the windows popped up at the top left corner.

2) The size of the pop up window was always fixed and didn't adjust to the amount of texts it contains. We only have text in our pop up windows.

3) The pop up frame in the old CHM file had a light drop shaddow. The new frame has no drop shaddow.

Can some one please help us? Our CHM file is quite simple and straightforward. What other software can we try? All we want to do is to support the Japanese language. We did build a project in RH8 supporting both the English and Japanese texts to make sure that the Japanese texts were correctly handled and to understand what need to be done to convert our help project. We were happy with the results, but we didn't know how to resolve that pop up issue.

  

Thanks

I finally got the script to run but it didn't resolve my issue.  Sorry I forgot to mention that my output is FlashHelp and not CHM.  Does anyone have a fix for FlashHelp?

I just upgraded from RH7 to RH8 and I'm having the same problem with related topics popups.  I downloaded the script, followed the steps, and when I run the script, it appears to lock up RoboHelp.  I've attempted to run it three times. Anything in the Design view is closed (the Project Manager and Single Source Layout pods remain open) and I get the hour glass.  After awhile, I launch task manager and RoboHelp is in a not responding state.

You've patched RH8 up to the latest p level first before opening these old projects, right? And of course you've got a back up of them too?

Yes, I have both a RH7 and RH8 backup.  The version I have is 8.0.0.203 and the Updates option is disabled.

Thanks, Peter, but the new JS file didn't solve these issues.

1) I copied the second file JS file to Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 8\RoboHTML and Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 8\RoboHELP, turned on 'Convert RoboHelp edited topics to HTML', then re-generated the CHM file. (I noticed that the js file under the project directory was not re-freshed). And tested it.

2) I also copied the js file to the project directory, and tested inside RH8 using the 'View Selected Item' button on the RH8 tool bar.

None of the 3 issues was resolved in my tests (1) and (2). The first two issues are the most critical (location and size).

Hi,

No Issues, good to hear that the issue is not happening in CHM output.

Yeah, well, good news for this particular issue, but I still don't have a viable (non-temporary) solution to the "Related Topics control via "JavaScript:RelatedTopics.Click" broken in RH8" issue, and unless I get a solution ASAP, I'll have to go back to RH7 -- at least for projects that include many of those links! Do you know anything about it?

It's standard RoboHelp functionality -- and it won't upgrade correctly to RH8.
