Display remote topic in new window with remote project TOC?

Although I've used RoboHelp for several years, I'm self-taught and work independently, so would have to classify myself as a beginning user. I'm using RoboHelp HTML 6.0 and Windows XP Professional.
My question is this: I know how to link to a topic in a remote project, but is there a way to display the remote topic in a new help window with its own (remote project's) TOC? I've attached an illustration. Here's the background, if you need it, and why I think I want to do this:
The company I'm working with previously provided user assistance via three printed manuals: a Setup Guide, a User's Guide, and an Administrator's Guide. The first project I completed for them was to convert the information in the User's and Administrator's Guides into a single online help system. We combined the two because their users are generally smaller companies where the "users" and the "administrators" are often the same people. The Help is deployed as a .chm file on the same CD with software updates.
The next step we are taking is to transform the Setup Guide to online help. It will be context-sensitive (screen-level) help for each of the 80 or so setup screens that a new user of their software should complete to tailor the application to their business practices and get the most out of it. Obviously users will need a higher level of access rights to be able to perform or make changes to the setup. However we still want to be able to cross-reference the user's help and the setup help, so that the relationship between specific setup choices and functionality is clear and adjustments can easily be made, if necessary, as they gain more experience with the software. For example, a user feels a need for an additional customer description code on a customer profile page. The user presses F1 to view Help for the page, the Help tells them exactly on which setup screen those codes are created, and they can follow the link to those instructions if they want to.
I want these two help systems to be accessible to each other and the user, and yet retain their separate identities. I don't think I want Setup to appear as yet another book in the User's Table of Contents, which is already somewhat overwhelming. So far I have written it as a separate RH project, knowing that I can import topics to the User help if I need to. Thanks in advance for your help! And don't forget I'm a relative newbie to RH. Thanks!

I got the new window to open up with the new CHM now...
As a follow up, it seems I need to define the new window with
the specific TOC and Index of the new CHM. I there a way to define
a window that picks up the related TOC and Index of the chm that it
opens(in this way, a single window type gets created, so that when
I get a new subsytem, I do not have to keep adding/creating new
windows, which makes me have to redistribute the main system
help...which is what I am trying to avoid)

  • I am receiving a lot of pop-up ads on website pages. It has only recently started happening. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating and other things. They are annoying and I want them shut off. Please help me

    I have recently started seeing millions of pop-up ads on website pages. It is not something that normally happens. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating among other things. I am growing sick and tired of these ads, and have tried multiple things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled software, I have blocked pop-up ads and unenabled Java script. I have tried everything I could find, but nothing has worked. I have even downloaded AdBlock and Clean Genius. Nothing has even remotely changed this annoying trait. I hope this can be a quick fix I can perform and not something that will have to be done by a tech-hand. Please, if you know anything about this issue, let me know how to fix it.
    Thanks.

  • New Window from "FILE- NEW-WINDOW" duplicates all the currently open tabs in the new window. I want new window with just the "Home" tab please?

    Running Firefox 3.6.13 on 64Bit Win7.
    I like to group tabs on a topic in a window, and when the tabs get to be too many, or a new topic, I do FILE->NEW-WINDOW and expect a new window with just one default (Home) tab. Instead I get a new window with ALL the tabs of the first window.
    I have checked all the Options I could find. Nothing helped. I CAN make a new Window with just one tab if I right-click a link and say "Open in NEW Window".

    A new window should only open with the home page(s).<br />
    If you see differently then you need to check your extensions.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Links that open a new window with javascript:void(null); do not work in 3.1

    I've been noticing that any site I go to that opens content in a new window with "javascript:void(null);" will be ignored by Safari 3.1. The links work in Firefox and used to work in Safari as well. Any suggestions?

    General rule of thumb in the Mac universe...
    When Safari is updated most if not all third party add-ons break. That's because most don't play by the rules. The developer thinks they know how to do it better than Apple so they just do it their way. So the first rule of survival is to KNOW what you have installed on your machine at all times. Use something like textedit to create a document listing all of the third party stuff you have installed and religiously update the list. Second rule is to wait a few days before applying an update. Third rule is to visit your third party developers' sites and make sure their little gadget is compatible with the new Safari update.
    Being aware of things will make life much easier for you in the long run.

  • I can't get download to work - it will not copy the mp3 file to my chosen location (as set in tools/options) - it gives me a new window with a player - no dwnlo

    I am running windows xp sp2 and I have set my dowload location under (tools/options), but when I select an MP3 file to download, firefox does NOT copy the file to my chosen location on my HD - instead, it opens up a new window with a makeshift "player" and begins loading the player with the MP3 file. The problem is that I have no idea where on my system firefox has copied this file to, so, I cannot leave and come back later and play this MP3 file using winamp. I have to listen to it right then or lose it - if I close that new window (with that puny little "player"), then I lose the download, wherever firefox put it on my PC (I got no idea where it is). This is all under firefox 25.0
    I am also running FIrefox 12.0 on an older windows 2000 machine and that works perfectly - I can download any MP3 file I want, and firefox 12.0 (on win2k, sp4) downloads it to my chosen location (on my HD), and it gives me the download window so I can watch its progress and have some control over pause, and resume, and, when it is done, the download window offers me the option to "open containing folder" so I can make sure it got to where I wanted it. In other words, Firefox 12.0 on WIn2k, sp4 works better than firefox 25.0 on winxp sp2!!!!! What gives? I went through and set up my options for XP just like I did with Win2k and it all looks good, but firefox 25.0 just ignores my chosen location and always defaults to give me that makeshift player and I am not able to actually copy the mp3 file to my harddrive - it makes firerox 25.0 almost unusable since downloading mp3 files is a big part of my firexfox use - please help - I am not able to upgrade windows at this time, and, since firefox 12.0 still works fine on win2k, I can't understand what happened at firefox?

    Phillipp,
    I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

  • Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
    At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

  • How can I open a new window with the same website like the one I have open?

    In safari I can open a new window with the same website like the one I have open, that makes it easy continuing to navigate on a website and to go back to the original website

    Hello Andieas
    Why open a new window for fast browsing??
    Open new tabs.
    Just right click on what you want to open and click "Open in new Tab"
    It is easy and doesn't consume memory from your computer as well as easy to navigate.
    Hope you'll like it

  • Open new window with specified width

    Hi, with Dreamweaver, in the Behaviors Panel, we can open an
    HTML file in a new window with specified heigth and width. Is there
    a script that allows that kind of behavior?
    thanks again!

    You can use the very same Javascript function that
    Dreamweaver writes, and then call that function from Flash using
    the ExternalInterface.call method. Look at online help for
    ExternalInterface.call. There is a good example shown there.

  • Opening OA page in new window with parameters

    Hi all,
    Hi need to open a new page in a new window with some parameters to be passed to that page.
    Here is the code i have written.
    But i am not sure how to pass parameter in java script string
    String userid = new Integer(pageContext.getUserId()).toString();
    OAButtonBean go = (OAButtonBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("go");

    Thanks,

    hi mani,
    I didn't got wat u meant by binding the attribute.
    I tried another way.
    I had a OAButtonBean GO
    I have 2 messagechoices one for month and another for year
    So in page A in month it shows Jan in starting (till Dec) and in year it shows 2006 as per the picklist view attribute. Also I have attached the VO and view attribute for both the messagechoices.
    Now in the setDestination of the GO button i have url of my pageB with retainAM=Y and target frame as _blank.
    So i select "Oct" from messageChoice and year as 2006 and click GO but still when it goes to pageB and when i try System.out.println(<the view object attribute value>)
    i get "Jan" instead of "Oct". Below is the code in pageB i am using to get the value of the month from VO
    MonthVOImpl monthVO = (MonthVOImpl)pslip.getMonthVO();
    //pslip is AM object
    RowSetIterator monthrowsetiterator = monthVO.findRowSetIterator("monthvo");
    if (monthrowsetiterator == null)
    monthrowsetiterator = monthVO.createRowSetIterator("monthvo");
    // monthrowsetiterator.reset(); I NEED TO COMMENT THIS OUT - RIGHT ??
    MonthVORowImpl monthrow = (MonthVORowImpl)monthrowsetiterator.next();
    String month = monthrow.getMonth().toString();
    System.out.println(month);
    So how do i resolve this issue. I thought that retaining the AM will take care of the value which i am selecting in the messagechoice in pageA.
    Any ideaz??
    Thanks,

  • How to "open all in tabs" bookmarks including links in second level folders (maybe each in new window with tabs) It opens only first level links... thanks

    I mean, if I go to the main menu, bookmarks->some folder (this "some folder" includes a 5 bookmarks and "some folder 1", "some folder 2" each with own bookmarks), click "open all in tabs", then it opens only 5 bookmarks, but I want it to open bookmarks from "some folder 1", "some folder 2" too at the same time! (maybe in new windows with tabs for each "some folder 1", "some folder 2") doesn't matter.
    Is there a way to do this? Maybe addons? extensions? Maybe you could add this in future versions...
    THanks. It would be great for me and my friends. (they also asked about this)
