TOC Slow to Appear

Question

Hi,Using RH8 publishing to WebHelp. Have a number of merged projects. When the help site is launched in browser,the top menu bar and content area appear immediately, but takes about 7-10 seconds for the TOC to appear. Is this normal? I checked off and set "Synchronize Table of Contents" to "Automatically" and have speed optimized for Local PC or Intranet. Not sure if maybe my settings are not correct.Any way to make TOC appear sooner?Also, while I think of it, what is the difference between the Navigation Pane Preferred Format being set to "DHTML > Pure HTML" or just "Pure HTML" ?Thanks!

Hi thereI believe you will see a difference if you re-generate the output and change the speed option from Local PC to the opposite setting. With Local PC, you are forcing the TOC to fully download before it's presented. This is likely causing the delay. The opposite setting causes the TOC to be loaded in smaller segments so it appears to load faster. The problem with that approach is that the synchronization may not work straight away because you may link to a second or third level topic that loads and tries to synchronize before its segment has arrived.Cheers...
