[Ann] HTML and CHM version of FrameMaker 12 Javascript Reference

Just dropping by (I'm not an FM user) to announce that I have made a conveniently browseable version of the Javascript Reference for FM 12, in the formats HTML (lots of files) and CHM (single file in Windows Help format; non-Windows users will need a CHM viewer such as iCHM for Mac). Thanks go to Rick Quatro (http://frameautomation.com) for his support.
Downloads are available at Indesign JavaScript Help -- scroll down to "New: FrameMaker 12", and the HTML files can also be browsed online at Adobe FrameMaker-12 Object Model JS: Table of Contents (with additional thanks to John Hawkinson for the generous donation of bandwidth).

Thank you my brother!

Save as PDF, HTML and CHM file formats

Is FrameMaker capable of saving in all three of these formats: PDF, HTML and CHM file formats? Would InDesign be a better choice?

The first two, yes. For Compiled Help, the third, I'm sure you know that the files have to be compiled, so no, and I don't think the source files for compilation are a direct export either, unless you can follow an XML path. Although the popularity of CHM is way down from a number of years ago because HTML is more portable, but that's a different issue.
If I were you, I'd look at MIF2go, a Frame add on that does support export to all these formats, and a number of others.
InDesign doesn't do this either...
Just as a word of unasked for advice, choosing your authoring platform by what it can output is a back-asswords way to choose a tool. Find the tool that suits the way you create documents the best so you get more required features to create your stuff quicker and easier.
Both the tools you mention and most other modern ones do pretty open-ended output, either directly or through filters or conversion utilities... there are always ways to massage output to a different format. So output is certainly a consideration, but it's a relatively minor one.
As for input tools, you're comparing apples and oranges with FM and ID. FM excels at book style documents with multiple chapters or files that share common layout characteristics. InDesign excels at shorter documents that are usually design-driven, that require hands-on layout tweaking, and it can't do multiple file management.

BASEFONT in html and pass a value thru a javascript

Friends I am try to set the size of my text of my entire HTML/JSP document by using the <BASEFONT SIZE ="6"> in the <HEAD> section
but it is not working.I mean I want my jsp/html to override the default size set by the users
internet explorer setting.
Also can some one tell me in javascript how to set a java variable to some value when a button is clicked.I mean when a submit button is clicked I want to submit the form and a java varaible has to be set to some value.I needed this because I am using INPUT TYPE = IMAGE (rather than SUBMIT)which doesn't return the value .Also I have never worked in javascript and I am in a big rush.Please help.

Also I have never worked in javascript and I am in a big rush.Please help.

[Ann] HTML/CHM for CS6 Javascript

I don't think I've ever been so fast before:
http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html is updated, it now also contains my Friendly Help for CS6, as both HTML (separate files) and CHM (one compiled file for use with a Windows Help viewer).
By way of experiment I added a "Full Index" to the HTML version. This is a single huge file, 2.7MB, but it contains links to all properties and methods in the entire set of files. So if you can't use the live one in the compiled CHM, you can still use this one to get a good overview of What to find Where.
... Enjoy!

Maybe I'll be enthused to try this before my idea of when Jongware wakes up :-)
Right. So, here's some XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="text()|@*"/> 
<xsl:template match="property|method">
    <xsl:call-template name="list-name-and-grandparent-name-with-tabs"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="list-name-and-grandparent-name-with-tabs">
    <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
    <xsl:if test="../../@enumeration">(enum)</xsl:if>
    <xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="name()"/><xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="../../@name"/><xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="@name"/><xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
    <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hopefully it's self-explanatory. I even added the "(enum)" to distinguish enums from regular properties. Just for you, Peter K!
Then we just run it on the omv cachefiles, sort the output, and do some comparisons with "comm."
That is:
xsltproc omv.xsl omv\$indesign-7.5\$7.5.xml | sort > 7575.txt
xsltproc omv.xsl omv\$indesign-8.0\$8.0.xml | sort > 8080.txt
I hope it's not a dumb idea to put this all in one long post...

I have installed a trail version of FrameMaker 12 and cannot open the book and chapter files in FrameMaker 8

Hi
My colleague and I use FrameMaker 8 but I'm considering whether it would be a good idea to upgrade to FrameMaker 12. So today I installed a trail version of FrameMaker 12.
Before opening a book file in FM12, I copied it to another folder so I wouldn't mess up anything. Unfortunately, I forgot to copy the chapter files so I opened most of them from FM12. As soon as I found out about it, I copied them to the new folder, but too late.
Now I'm not able to open the original files from FM8 (and even worse, neither can my colleague). I read somewhere else, that I should save the book file in the .MIF format (I tried both 12 and 7.0) and then open it from FM8. I tried that, but I still cannot open the chapter files.
I get an error message saying: "Althoug xxx.fm appears to be a FrameMaker document, it can't be opened with this release of the product".
I didn't make any changes to the chapter files when I looked at them in FM 12.
What should I do? I case we decide not to upgrade, we will not be able to access this book which is a big problem. I already have some small changes that have to be made.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Back saving to MIF should work, but it’s probably faster to just retrieve a backup of the FM8 files & books and restore them over your botched FM12 versions. Then take a copy of that backup and put it on the trial machine to play away without impacting anything else.

I have a purchased version of FrameMaker 10 - box, serial number, heck, even the CD sleeve, but no CD. Is there a way to download FrameMaker 10 so that I can install it and apply my serial number?

I have a purchased version of FrameMaker 10 - box, serial number, heck, even the CD sleeve, but no CD. Is there a way to download FrameMaker 10 so that I can install it and apply my serial number? It would be nice if you had a service like Battle.net, where you apply your serial number to your account and your software is always available to you. (I realize the cloud direction makes this possible going forward, but older software would be helpful.
Thanks for any help you can provide

HTML Scrolling not working on Phone and Tablet versions

Hi - I've created a website across the 3 different platforms. My client has requested a blog - I've used Tumblr - I inserted this HTML for it:
<iframe src="http://no4styling.tumblr.com/" width="791" height="450" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="no" scrolling="yes" style="border:0px;"></iframe>
This HTML works on the desktop version but not on the Phone and Tablet version. Please can someone let me know where I have gone wrong??
Thanks

Hi,
I suspect there is some custom script on your site, which might be creating the issue. Please refer to the following link http://forums.adobe.com/message/5688844#5688844
Please check for any such script as mentioned in that post and try removing it.

What kind of computer specs are required to smoothly run CS5 and future versions?

Hello,
I'm in search of a new laptop for running CS5. I checked the Adobe site for system specs (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/tech-specs.html) and they look ridiculous -- I stopped reading at 1 GB RAM...
So my question is what should the system be like in order to smoothly run CS5 and the future versions CS6 and maybe even 7? I read that there have been problems with i7 processors. Is it true?
This far I have found:
- nVidia Quadro graphics card (are there different versions of this? how much memory the card should have?)
- 64bit Windows 7
- memory? how much is sufficient? 6 GB? Memory type/speed specs?
- processor? i5 or i7 or some else? (I'm in search of a laptop)
- SSD HD drive or 7200 rpm HD?
Our company laptop brand is Dell and I tried to look for a suitable model. However, very few had the nVidia Quadro graphics card
Usage:
The laptops are mostly used for website and DTP publishing, photo editing, drawing (=Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) but also for technical documentation (Framemaker). To some extent also video editing is done, but not yet very often. However, there are plans for this too. We also run MS SQL Express in some computers to run company-specific software. And of course the normal Office 2010 package. Virus scanner used is McAfee.

Hello,
I too agree with the points Mylenium stated. We have discussed about multiple computers (desktop & laptop), but people don't like the mess it would cause in terms of file syncronization etc. And it would also mean double effort for the IT to maintain all the software updates etc. in that many computers. We do work quite a lot in meetings etc. and work and collaborate directly with using these programs. So it would mean double work to first make notes in a meeting and then do work in another computer according to the notes. So the decision of using a good laptop is not random but thought.
Our current laptops were selected in the CS2 era and they have survived well updates up to CS4. I haven't yet tested what CS5.5 would do in terms of performance and usability. The idea of changing and configuring a computer every year according to the latest models and software requirements does not sound good. That's why I stated the point that the computer to be selected should survive at least a few CS updates.
SSDs. I don't see them pricely at all. We've changed SSDs to the current laptops and they increased their lifetime by at least two years. Incredible increase in speed! I really do recommend SSDs and would not even consider using mechanical drives anymore. In general I don't see the price of the laptop as problem -- it costs a lot more to configure and install the computer than the price of the computer. And if the computer is slow and/or needs to be changed often to a new model, it costs even more in lost employee performance.
So conclusion up to now:
- Win 7 64 bit
- 8 GB memory
- SSD drive
- min i5 processor
- Graphics card? Mobile Quadro NVS 3100M?
So the current computer model could be:
Dell E6410
- Intel Core™ i7-640M
- NVIDIA® NVS 3100M 512MB gDDR3
- 14.1” WXGA+ LED Display (1440x900)
- 8 GB dual channel DDR3 memory, 1 333 MHZ
- 128 GB SSD

How do I generate PDF and CHM files from the a command line in windows?

I am trying to set up a PC to build some documents during the night. I was looking for a way to get framemaker to generate PDF and CHM files via a command line in windows? How is this done with FrameMaker 12
Thanks for the help
Alex

Hi,
The part with generate a PDF via a jsx seems to work OK, except when FrameMaker decides that it will not work anymore. I must say I am not impressed with the stabillity of FrameMaker 12, there is room for a lot of improvement!.
I have given up on how to figure out how to get FrameMaker 12 to generate chm files via jsx scripts, any pointes are still very welcome.
The route I have taken is I make a RoboHelp project for each chm files I need to generate. The only thing this RoboHelp project contains is a link to the actual FrameMaker project I want to generate a chm file.
To make the chm I start RoboHelp with a script that
1) Opens the desired project
2) Sets the desired output chm files name
3) Generates the chm file
4) And finally quits RoboHelp
Below is a copy of the jsx in case anyone can reuse anything. And yes parameters are transfered via enviroments variable. I have later learned there is some way to read the parameters given at a command line but this seems to work so I stick to this for now.
// Get parameters
var RhProjName = $.getenv("RH_PROJ_NAME");
var RhChmName = $.getenv("RH_CHM_NAME");
var RhLogFileName = $.getenv("RH_LOGFILE_NAME");
var RhLogFile = new File(RhLogFileName);
RhLogFile.open("w", "TEXT");
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_PROJ_NAME : ", RhProjName);
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_CHM_NAME : ", RhChmName);
doc = RoboHelp.openProject (RhProjName, 1);
var sslmngr = RoboHelp.project.SSLManager;
for(var i = 1; i<=sslmngr.count; i++){
var ssl = sslmngr.item(i);
if(ssl.name == 'Microsoft HTML Help') {
    // Set the output location and file name
    ssl.setSpecificProperty("DestinationProjectName", RhChmName);
    if (doc.saveAll(true) ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned FALSE");
    if ( ssl.generate() ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned FALSE");
} else {
    // alert ("Found " + ssl.name + " dont do anything");
doc.saveAll(true);
RhLogFile.close();
RoboHelp.closeProject();
RoboHelp.quit();

Best HTML generators for use with Framemaker

Hi,
I'm currently evaluating the latest version of the technical communications suite, but I am now
concentrating on Framemaker with other ouput generators and would be interested to know
what other people's experiences are. I really like Framemaker and think that the quality
of the PDF is great. However, RoboHelp is unlikely to work for us, based on the poor
quality of the images that it produces in the html ouput.
What do other people use to produce html, Jhelp, wikis etc from Framemaker?
Someone mentioned a product from Omni systems which I will probably tryout.
I used Webworks Quadralay myself, but over 7 years ago so have no idea about the
latest product.
I'd be particularly interested in responses from people taking screenshots with lots of
details in them as our images have to be quite clear in the final html output.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best wishes,
Karen

Karen,
You don’t mention any version numbers and from my experience any decision depends on many parameters which are hard to discuss in a forum like this. I did not say "impossible".
I like to concentrate on your task to display screenshots with lots of detail.
You see, a pixel is a pixel. A screenshot is just a collection of pixels and some things are just one pixel wide, e.g. the stems of letters. Assuming you have a 1024 × 768 size screenshot. If you print that with a width of 7" on paper, this gives you 1024 / 7 = 146 pixels / inch, so even a simple laser printer with a resolution of 600 dpi has no problems.
But on screen it is totally different: You can achieve perfect display quality only if you display screen shots at the original resolution. A pixel is a pixel. You just can not display 1024 pixels in the space of 600 pixels without losing information.
You could try to rely on certain built-in downsampling algorithms but they differ between OSs and browsers.
My advice is:
Solve the problem by avoiding it. Is it really necessary to show screenshots in HTML? If this is only help the user is likely to see the original screen anyway.
If you have to show them, do the downsampling in a separate process, don’t rely on automatic solution and try to stick to easy fractions like 4/5, 3/4 or 2/3 to avoid moiré effects in patterns.

Sending Email using both HTML and plain text

I could use some advise on how to start researching email for
both HTML and plain text messages.
I have a script called class.phpMail.php, but the code is
alittle advanced for me. Basically I can't get
it to work on my server and I don't know where to begin the
learning process here.
I talked to my provider, "HOST" company goDaddy.com and I was
told that to connect so that I could send email I would need this
line of code. They didn't say it should by in my php.ini file but
that was where I found it.
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
This is the smtp address that my provider uses to make the
connection with my mail client.
I was told that with this line of code I would not need a
password or username
I did some further reseach and I found an article that stated
that my original error:
Warning: fsockopen() expects parameter 2 to be long, string
given in ...../php/class.smtp.php on line 105
was being caused by this code because the $port value needed
to be between 1 - 65365:
$this->smtp_conn = fsockopen($host, # the host of the server
$port, # the port to use ----- "this is line 105"
$errno, # error number if any
$errstr, # error message if any
$tval); # give up after ? secs
In particular the $port value was coming in corrupted and
that I needed to cast it.
I did as they suggested and made it an (int) as they
suggested.
$this->smtp_conn = fsockopen($host, # the host of the server
(int)$port, # the port to use
$errno, # error number if any
$errstr, # error message if any
$tval); # give up after ? secs
It resolved part of the error message however, the other half
of the error message is shown below:
Message could not be sent.
Mailer Error: Language string failed to load: connect_host
What exactly is the connect_host they refer to in this
message?
Would it be the string in my php.ini file refering to the
SMTP = relay-hosting.secureserver.net
I have allot of what I think are disconnected questions as I
really have just begun to work
with the mail() function. If anyone has the time to educate
this newbie into the wonderful
world of email() I would appreciate it.
Thank You
Kevin Raleigh

Sorry to dig up an old post, but we've spent the last few days trying to work out why an email campaign being sent from BC is going into the Junk folder of recipients that use MS Exchange. We've fixed quite a lot of issues, including the fact that Legacy Templates have random JS injected just before they get sent, so we had to switch to the new template system. We've narrowed the issue down to one of three things:
1. A missing alt tag on the tracking image that BC drops into the email (pretty unlikely)
2. The BC Europe IP (54.240.14.45) is blacklisted here: UCEPROTECTL2 (possible, but if you actually look it's not the IP itself, but another IP on the same network, so unlikely)
3. The fact that the HTML email has no text component.
I agree, BC is late on this but I think that it needs to be added, even if most users have HTML-ready email clients, spam checkers do seem to prefer multi-MIME emails.
This is backed up by the following SpamAssassin rule, which we are currently unable to resolve:
-1.105
MIME_HTML_ONLY
Message only has text/html MIME parts
You should also include a text version of your message (text/plain)
So in my opinion, BC do still need to add this as a feature, otherwise the system is not viable for our customers and we'll have to look elsewhere.

Problems with Skin display and publish options on FrameMaker 12

Hi,
Customising the FrameMaker output for web help is proving problematic.
1. Here's the first issue - The Online FrameMaker help says the following:
"You can also import WebHelp or compressed WebHelp skins defined in .skn or .zkn files, respectively. To import a skin, click Import and then select the .skn or .zkn file from the file system." (see Adobe FrameMaker 12 * Customizing output specific settings)
However, when importing a skin (publish settings > custom > outputs >navigation > skin selection > import), the Import option only enables a file of type *.skn and not the compressed *.zkn.
2. Second issue - The customised skin is not picked up correctly in the Webhelp output.
To be specific, the required graphic elements have not been copied over from the customised skin. The only way round this is to manually copy over the graphic skin files to the output folder and then refresh the help output. The graphics appear, but unfortunately the skin still does not display 100% correctly.
3. Third issue. To create the customised skin, I had to create a new RoboHelp project and then create a new skin from one of the available skin galleries. Preview and generating the RoboHelp project displays the Skin correctly. Unfortunately, when using in FrameMaker, the skin does not display correctly.
4th issue - inaccurate information in the online help regarding the ISF import options.
The FM online help says the following:
Important: When you import an ISF file, the RoboHelp settings included in the file overwrite the corresponding FrameMaker STS file settings.
To import an ISF file:
In the Publish dialog, click the Settings button and choose Import ISF File.
In the Select ISF File dialog, choose the settings file.
Where's this option? There's no ISF import option on my version of FrameMaker???!!!
Thanks

Warren,
In FM, Help > Updates... and configure your Update Application Manager on how often to check and how to handle updates. Or manually go the update page kisted on the main FM Forum Overview pagefor a manually download and install. You have to install the two patches in order to get up to the 12.0.2 version.

HTML and CSS Best Practices for Eloqua?

Hello Topliners Community,
My name is Ben and I am a Web Designer. I am currently looking for any guidance on HTML and CSS best practices when working with Eloqua. I am interested in the best practices for e-mail and landing pages.
Thank you,
Ben

Personally I like to upload my custom created html/css into Eloqua instead of using the WYSIWYG.
But if you must then right clicking on text boxes and click edit source is the way to go.
There was a good discussion on editing your forms with CSS:
