My developer cannot integrate webhelp into JSP and I'm not a developer.

[Posada01]

I have a developer in India who has never integrated context-sensitive topics into a JSP application and I'm only marginaly ahead of him, so I pointed him to the Adobe article at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/context_help.html.

However, he says that while he can call the help, it always defaults to the welcome page.

He sent me his code:
javascript:ShowWebHelp('help/TASCHelp.htm',1,HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 14)

I also gave him an .h file named TASC_Help_mapfile.h and an example of the mapID lines go as follows:
#define Getting_Started 14

I asked him why it was different than the code in the example.
<a href="javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0,'WebHelp/default.htm>WithNavPane', HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 5)">Help</a>

However, being in India, I don't expect to hear from him till tomorrow.

In the mean time, can anyone tell me if what he wrote is acceptable and if it isn't, where he went wrong that I can point to him when he gets back to me?

I am no expert with javaScript, but I think that the difference between your developer's code and the example is only the name of the method call. I assume that he has written a method called ShowWebHelp that opens your chm file.

Also, I think that he should be able to make as many calls as necessary to this method and replace the last parameter (14) with the appropriate MapID to open the chm file to the appropriate place.

As I said, I am only guessing really, so if I am wrong can someone please correct me?
