I customized a WebHelp Pro skin using the Omega skin as the basis. Everything works fine except the Print button, which I added using the same Action as shown in the BeautifulVista skin's Print button.

Local Version (C: drive)

  1. When I generate my help project and view it locally from my C: drive after I accept the warning about viewing locally, I see the Print button.
  2. However, it does NOT work.  I've attached a graphic that shows the local version and the skin dialog where I set up the action for the Print button.

RH Server 8 version

  • When I view the same project after I publish it to the server, the Print button does NOT display.

QUESTIONS ARE:

How do I get the Print button to function properly (active printer dialog)?

If it can't work until it is published that fine but then how do I get it display when I view from server?

Hi, Paula,

Be sure to check the Print Button property in the Windows Properties. I tested this and it works. If you would like to send me your Omega skin file, I'll take a look.

Thanks

One more thing. Your screenshot shows the printAction() however it does not indicate whether you also put in the Inline JavaScript which defines the function that is called. Was this done?

Thanks
