Re: Displaying TOC/Index/Search in Help System

Hi Keith

Sounds like you are opening a WebHelp system created using RoboHelp. This 
will be something your developers will need to address.

When you simply point at a topic inside a WebHelp system, (assuming you have 
elected to include a navigation pane link in the topics) the JavaScript in 
the topic sniffs the browser to see if the topic is being opened inside the 
WebHelp frameset. If not, a link is inserted.

There are ways to construct the links using HTML. Check out the following 
articles:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm
http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard/NewProject.htm#MonthlyScry/112004.htm

If your developers are using MapIDs, then John Daigle's article may be 
helpful

Hope this was helpful... Rick :)

Subject: Displaying TOC/Index/Search in Help System


Hello all,

When you first open the help system that is connected to my software
application, the Contents/Index/Search tabs are not displayed in the
upper-left corner of the help system. Instead, there is a "Show"
hyperlink.  When I click on this link, the tabs all display properly.

How can I make these three tabs automatically show up when the help
system appears?

Thanks in advance, as always!

Keith
