Robohelp adding extra alt="" tag upon import

Guest
Jul 28, 2009 Jul 28, 2009

I am importing HTML files (from a Sandcastle ouput).  I get an error message about a missing image (dropDownHoverImage), but it looks to be caused by an extra  src="" tag being added by RoboHelp.  See below.

Does anyone know what causes this and how I can prevent this from happening?

SandCastle

<img id="dropDownHoverImage" src="..icons/dropdownHover.gif" style="display:  none; height; 0pt; width: 0pt;"/>

RoboHelp:

<img id="dropDownHoverImage" alt="" src="..icons/dropdownHover.gif" style="display:  none; height; 0pt; width: 0pt;"/>

I don't think the "alt" tag will be causing issues. It usually contains a short description of the image for accessibility (e.g. by screen readers).

However, if you haven't modified the image path in what you've posted, I would suspect that is the problem.

"..icons/" doesn't look right to me. Confirm that it is pointing to the correct spot - I would expect "../icons/" or just "icons/".

The image path is correct. As for the error - it only happens when I view the file in Robohelp with the "glasses."  It does not occur in the Webhelp output.

Ya say you don't want to use it? OK, never mind...ah won't put in the output. Have a nice day."
