Question

Stack overflow at line: 1792 or 1788 when using the search function

Hello everyone,

My name is Thibault. I am a technical communications specialist. I've been using Robohelp html for a couple of years.

I am working on the user guide of the software application developed where I work.

This is a HUGE project, more than 6500 pages.

We're two technical writers on this project. (This is an inportant detail since my colleague doesn't get the problem).

I need your help because I have been having an annoying issue over the last couple of days.

After the project is generated, I open it in the software, clicking F1.

When I want to use the search function I have this error message displayed:

"Stack overflow at line: 1792" or "Stack overflow at line: 1788"

Do you know where this could come from?

Furthermore, I noticed that this stack overflow only occurs on some words.

I mean, it occurs for the most used words in this project.

We have customers all over the world and over the last week, we've been getting a lot of feedbacks about this error message.

I hope someone will be able to help me on this one!

Thanks in advance!

Hi there

When you edit topics in your project, do you see little red sqares in the content in the RoboHelp Editor?

Cheers... Rick

Hello,

Thanks for the quick answer.

If this is what you meant, I dont see any red squares in robohelp when I edit my topics.

Cheers,

Thibault

I tried to generate locally, on my computer, and I still have the stack overflow error message.

What do we need to do with the XPL file is the issue comes from it?


Hello,

Something 'silly' happened.

I use Google Chrome as a web browser and I don't know why but I downloaded Mozilla Firefox and TADA my problem was solved... No stack overflow anymore, the search tool worked fine!

The problem is. We can't tell our customers all over the world 'Please, download Firefox to use the search tool'. Sounds a little bit ridiculuous..

Given that, do you know how I could fix the stack overflow issue in Robohelp, and generate a user guide with a search tool that works without mozilla firefox?

Thanks in advance.
