why is first topic not displaying in merged help?

[Guest]

I created a merged help system in RH 9, following Peter Grainge's "Merging WebHelp - RoboHelp 8" steps.  When I open the default (index) file in the parent, the first topic doesn't display and I get this error in the topic frame:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

I can click on any topic from the TOC frame and it will display properly.

I did follow Step 8 (Forcing the TOC to synchronise) and made the change to the whthost.js file in the generated output folder for both the parent and the child.

I also tried to search this forum before asking this question, using google as directed since the forum search is broken. But I wasn't able to find anything relevant.

Thanks for your help.

When that happens it is almost certainly because the path to the redirect is not right. Check that the relative path is correct and that the target file is where it should be.

That was it. I missed the line in your instructions that says, "You will need to amend the path..."

Thanks!
