Show link appears instead of TOC and skin

[Guest]

Using RH8 with RSC3.1 on XP.

I am just about ready to release a new WebHelp project.   When the opening page is called in the application it opens in the window with a SHOW link and no skin related features, or TOC,  Just the default topic is displayed.  Clicking the SHOW link opens the TOC and the skin comes into play.

I tried clearing the SHOW NAVIGATION PANE LINK IN TOPIC option but it still comes up that way. The developer advises he is doing nothing so far as context-sensitivity etc.

I have other WebHelp projects that do not have this problem.  I've compared the settings and see nothing obvious.  I found a mention in the Help but no way to enabled/disable.

How can I get it to open with the TOC displayed and the skin in place?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Joe

Hi there

This happens if you link to the Default topic instead of the WebHelp Start Page.

Look at the Single Source Layout recipe properties. The first field lists the WebHelp Start Page name. Have your developer link to that instead and you should be good.
