index.aspx error

[srosenbloom1975]

Hey All,

I'm using Sharepoint Online, with the "Responsive HTML5" layout. I know that RoboHelp cannot publish directly to Sharepoint Online, so in the Sharepoint section, under Advanced Options, I have Generate SharePoint Native Output before Publishing checked. I have the result generating to a local folder, which I eventually upload to a document library on Sharepoint.  When I open index.aspx in Internet Explorer (from it's local location, not Sharepoint Online), I get the following error:

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

---

End tag 'head' does not match the start tag 'link'. Error processing resource 'file:///U:/sharepoint/index.aspx'. Line 42,...

</head> --^

I found that the following lines were not self-closing:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="template/styles/widgets.min.css">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="template/styles/layoutfix.min.css">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="template/styles/layout.min.css">

So I changed them to:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="template/styles/widgets.min.css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="template/styles/layoutfix.min.css" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="template/styles/layout.min.css" />

I then got the following error:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 50 at column 148: xmlParseEntityRef: no name

Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

Once I upload the exported contents to Sharepoint, almost everything loads corrects, except that the Table of Contents frame to the left is empty. Looking back at the error referring to line 50, I commented out the following code, and everything worked perfectly.

<div class="logo" data-attr="title:@KEY_LNG.HomeButton;href:rh.consts('DEFAULT_TOPIC')" data-click="!(@KEY_SCREEN_DESKTOP || @Key screen_TABLET) && @Key_ACTIVE_TAB(null)">

</div>

It's worth noting that the HTML version of the export (index.html) works perfectly fine with no modifications.

Any thoughts on the issues above and how to avoid them in the future?

Thanks,

Scott

If you try one of the sample projects, do you get the same thing happening?

"It's worth noting that the HTML version of the export (index.html) works perfectly fine with no modifications."

My question would be to ask exactly why you feel you must use the index.aspx page? I mean, since RoboHelp produces HTML and not ASPX, it would seem to be inviting hurdles by insisting upon ASPX.

Honestly, I used ASPX mainly because that's the standard file format for Sharepoint. I can certainly be convinced, feature-wise, to not use it, however.

Thanks,

I actually haven't tried a sample project, so I will now.

I'd be willing to bet you see the exact same behavior with using one of the samples.
