WebHelp in Chrome - first look

Guest
Sep 03, 2008 Sep 03, 2008
Just downloaded the new Chrome browser from Google, and as I feared, my WebHelp doesn't work (nav pane contents don't display). I am using a skin.

I tried a test project using the default skin and found that only pure html works for navigation pane format (WebHelp Options page 3).
If I use DHTML > Pure HTML the pane comes up empty
If I use Java Applet > Pure HTML I get a message in the pane saying no plugin is available to display the content. The odd thing is that I included some drop-down text (which is javascript, right?) and that woks fine.

Pure html is ok, except there's no Search Input field available. So, I'd love to be able to use dhtml or Java for the nav pane.

If anyone has an idea for getting this to work I'd be grateful for info.

Hi,

Adobe has been working on it and if you do the following changes to your file whvers.js in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 8\RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock folder.

Add following 2 lines at the top along with other variable declarations.
var gbChrome = false ;
var gbChrome=(gAgent.indexOf("chrome")!=-1);

and then add a condition
if (gbChrome)
{
gbSafari = true ;
gbSafari3=true;
}

This should fix TOC/Index/Glossary/Search loading issues.
I am attaching code from fixed whvers.j...

This thread has been a huge help. Thanks, everyone. Now I need an assist with popups. In Chrome, my WebHelp popups open for an instant at a size that seems about right, then they shrink to a size that is way too small. It doesn't matter whether I select auto-size or custom size. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Regarding popups. I'm guessing the behavior I'm seeing is related to this, (from a Google-produced faq at http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/webmasters-faq.html)

12. My website's popups aren't appearing in Google Chrome
Google Chrome's default behavior is to minimize and then display only the title bar of pop-ups in the lower-right section of the browser window. Users can view a pop-up's content by dragging its title bar into a more visible position. This allows pop-ups to load, so as not to break the functionality of sites which depend on them. It also prevents undesired pop-ups from covering the page and distracting users.
