Can I link to images using absolute paths in HTML Help and still see them locally?

I'm publishing HTML help pages to a Web server. All .htm files on the Web server are in their own folder, and all image files are in a separate folder. Links to images are generally of the form <img src="/images/clear.png" height="14" width="8">. That is, the images use an absolute path reference from the doc root folder (rather than relative path from the current file folder, such as "../images/myImg.png").
I can modify the HTML for the images to follow this convention, but then I cannot see the images locally within RoboHelp, but must instead wait until the files are integrated with the Web server. Is there a way to set up a RoboHelp project so that I can force an image path of "/images" both locally and in the HTML?
Using RoboHelp 9.0.1.232.
Thanks.

RoboHelp expects the images to be within the project and will need that if you are to see them when working. It then uploads them to the server when you publish. There is a check box when you publish so that only updated files get uploaded.
You could point Resource Manager to the server folder with the images and then link to those images. What happens then is the image gets downloaded into your project so that you see it when working. If the server image changes you will see the icon in Project Manager changes so that you can update the local copy. It would be a one-off exercise changing your workflow.

Images using absolute path on portlet server not appearing when gatewayed

I am gatewaying several applications via a Plumtree 5 Portal. Images in these applications when referenced using relative paths (../images/image.jpg) work. Images using absolute path (\applicationFolder\images\image.jpg). When gatewayed they are presented like this:
http:\\plumtreeServer\portal\server.pt\gateway\PTARGS_0_212_252_0_0_43/https:%3B/remoteServer/applicationFolder/Web/\applicationFolder\images\image.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

JSF always uses absolute path

Hi I am new to JSF. You might be able to help me with an absolute path problem I encountered in my project.
Our team has a JSF project called PHA, it has been deployed to 8 production machines. Recently I made some change to it and want to test it on one of my company's testing machine n251. In order to access n251, I need to use my company's proxy bbweb1. Here is the URL I ran:
http://bbweb1.xxxxx.com/bravo/pxhistory/map/n251/charlie/pha/ to access PHA on n251.(BTW, we use http://bbweb1.xxxxx.com/charlie/pha/ to access our production machines.) It seems like I got my main PHA page from N251. But when I clicked any
of the menu bars, bbweb1 proxy always ignores the relative path "bravo/pxhistory/map/n251" and simply rediect me to the main page again on one of our production machines. Here is the URL AFTER I clicked the menu bar:"http://bbweb1.xxxxx.com/charlie/pha/faces/jsp-pages/main page.jsp;jsessionid=CC8BD42D458EB5361532FF99FC1F5D83". I studied my code for the last 3 days and didn't find any problem. An only wild guess is: when I view source on my IE, I found JSF
always use absolute path :
src="/charlie/pha/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/tree2.HtmlTreeRenderer/1161281
90776/javascript/tree.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" I don't know if this indicates why I failed to route to N251. Could this cause by a wrong config on bbweb1? or is there some trick I don't know? ... Since I don't
have much experience on JSF, can you please help me with this? Thanks in advance.

I wish there were. I don't know of any way to do this. Why

What are the reasons for using absolute paths to embedded objects in word?

Hello,
hopefully someone can answer me the question why word always stores the absolute paths to linked objects? We use Word for documentation and these documents are stored in a version control system and sometimes several persons are working on a document. Because
of the absolute paths stored in the document all users would need to have the same directory structure so that the links would work for every person.
For linked objects it's not even possible to change the absolute paths to relative paths.
Additionally I would like to know what the difference between a "Graphic" and "Picture" object is. A graphic can be inserted by selecting "INSERT" -> "Pictures" and a "Graphic" doesn't seem to have a field
function and always uses absolute paths. "Graphics" can be inserted by selecting "INSERT" -> "Quick Parts" -> "Field..." -> "IncludePicture" and it's possible to use relative paths for "IncludePicture"
objects and it's possible to show the field function of a "Picture" object.
Regards
Martin

This seems to be by design, not too much information about this. The thread below should be helpful for you to understand it:

Can you 'link' an image state icon, across a folio.....?

Here's a thought for you all.....Can you 'link' an image state icon, across a folio.....
for example a "blinking" 'tap me' 2 state icon, that if you alter, it alters across the whole folio via links??
Object styles?

For each icon that you want to use in your email signature:
locate icon on internet webpage - right-click on the icon and select 'Save Image as'. Save the icon to your computer in a suitable file.
Then in Thunderbird
insert > Image
choose file - locate the saved icon on your computer
click on Link tab and enter the www etc webpage link info
click on OK to insert image with link.
Codewise, where you have the actual icon you would need something stating where the icon is located:
eg
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubiquia/146019678805381" target="_blank">
path to image saved on computer included in within <> </a>

Can I sort the images used in a book's browser by the # of times used?

I'm also producing a DVDSP slideshow of the event's (selected) photos not included in the book.
Q2: Can I sort the images used in a book's browser by the # of times used?
That way I don't have to search thru hundreds of photos. When used in a book, each photo gets a badge showing the # of times used. Can this badge be used in a sort?
Or must I apply a keyword to the used (or unused) photos?
Thanks.

But if the file has been embedded, the file name is lost.

Can I change my image editor (library pictures)?? help please :)

Hi
when you look in the library you can select all images used including background graphics (screen shots) and there is a picture of a pencil that says edit.
Mine opens fireworks. Is this the default image editor or can I change this to photoshop & where do I do that ?
Thanks

Hi there
Just a heads up on this. You may discover that after you configure the editor, Captivate may appear to lose track of it. I say this because if you edit later, you may still find that Fireworks or whatever still opens.
What causes this is that Captivate allows you to work with different image formats. PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF, etc. Each of these types may have its own editor associated. So you might edit a GIF and see FireWorks open. But if you edit a JPG, you could see Photoshop open.
Cheers... Rick

I am trying to use my IPAD to video students in my conducting class, then email them the video for self evaluation. However, many of the video clips are too long to email. Is there anyway to compress the video clips and still email them so they can view

I am trying to use my IPAD to video students in my conducting class, then email them the video for self evaluation. However, many of the clips are too long to send. Is there a way I can compress the clips and still send them via email so they can open and them using Quicken?
Muzakmn

It depends on the clips' content, their current format, and how much you would need to compress them, but in most cases and with most email systems, it's difficult to impossible to compress a clip enough to be able to get it through the attachment size limits of most email providers and still have the video be comprehensible. You'll probably need to find a web site or other method where you could post the videos for download by the students.
You can try compression and trimming, though, and see if you can get the video small enough to email. An attachment often has to be 3MB or less to go through, though it depends entirely on the email systems on both ends. If you look to the right under "more like this" you'll find similar threads on the subject.

Hi jclarke64,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone 4s was lost, and glad that you were able to upgrade.
If your iPhone 4s was backed up to iCloud or using iTunes, you can restore the backed up data to your new phone.
See the steps in this article for help with restoring from a backup:

I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain.

I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain. What can I do so that I can connect other devices to my Wifi?

Read the router's user manual on how to change your password.
If you are going to select another password, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure it out. Print it out & keep in a safe place. A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone use iTunes on my Mac without a problem? I have no music on the Mac because it is new. Can I download music onto iPhone on both PC and Mac?

Can I download music from my PC onto my new iPhone and still have my iPhone sync with my Mac without a problem?
I've had an iPod over a year and have not done much with it except download music onto it from my PC. Just recently have purchased the iPhone. When I got my iPod I didn't have a Mac, but now I do. I am really into my iPhone, so now I want to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. So can I connect my iPhone to both my PC and my Mac without it getting mixed signals and stop working. I have no music on my Mac but plan to download music into iTunes on it. So can I download music from both computers without problems onto my iPhone?

StoneMountainGirl,
No. You can only music to your iPhone from one computer at a time. If you try to load music onto it from a 2nd computer, it will erase the current content on the iPhone and replace it with whats in the iTunes library you are connected to,

Can I back up the organizer, move my photos and still access them in PSE?

I backed up my catalog to an external HD last night and there were about 20 disconnected files. I was not able to locate them so I allowed the back up to continue without them. Do you know what the consequences are for that?
Also, several of my photos are on my C drive and several are on the external HD. My catalog included photos from both places. When I move the rest of my photos from the C drive of my computer to the external HD will the catalog still be able to access them or will I need to back everything up again?
My goal is to free up space on my computer so PSE will stop freezing up. All I'm intersted in doing right now is getting all of my photos into the organizer and tagged. I'll edit them later as I begin to create digital scrapbook pages.
Can someone tell me if the way I'm going about this is correct?
Thank you,

Thank you Ken. I backed up everything to my external HD, but now I think I'd rather just move everything there and recall my photos from the ext HD to free up space on my C drive. Is that possible?

When you use PSE to back up your catalog, the actual photos as well as the catalog (database) are backed up. When you restore from a backup, you can specify where the incoming photos will be placed. Ken

I can no longer scroll with the button on my touch pad. Have tried everything on Firefox help and still can't scroll....HELP please.

I have just updated to the Firefox 4 Beta and from having no problems at all with the previous version I can now no longer scroll. I have reloaded my touch pad drivers and also been onto "about:config" and altered various things suggested by 'firefox help' and still no luck. The scroll button on the touch pad does still work as I can still scroll in Thunderbird and any of the other programs that I use, just not with Firefox any longer. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.
I might have uninstall an old Java JRE, don't remember when I did it, could that have done it?
