Duplicate javascript references appearing in HTML files

Every time I run Generate | Primary Layout (Webhelp) on my Robohelp projects, I see duplicate references to a number of Robohelp built-in javascript script files in the head section of my HTML files. For example:
<script type="text/javascript" lange="javascript1.2" src="whmsg_nc.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" lange="javascript1.2" src="whmsg_nc_1.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" lange="javascript1.2" src="whmsg_nc_1_1.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" lange="javascript1.2" src="whmsg_nc_1_1_1.js"> </script>
Also, there are duplicate references to breadcrumbs javascript and writeIntopicBar(0) javascript at the end of each HTMl file.
I have to manually remove all the duplicate references, but they keep coming back after I run generate. Is there a setting I missed somewhere or am I not setting up the projects correctly?
Thanks!

Rick may be training so I'll pop in.
I don't think Rick is saying all the items should not appear, rather that some should not and others should not be duplicated. I think Rick is saying that some should not appear (the WH stuff) and the others should not be duplicated. The likely reason is, as stated, that you have imported an output file so Rh has them from both when you created the output and now that you are generating again.
When you open the source topics in your project, are you seeing red squares appearing? If you are then that further supports Rick's theory.
Perhaps this link to Rick's site will help.

Javascript function not working in template-based html files

Does anyone have any insight as to why the following function works only in the .dwt file but not in the related html files?
*Note: it only works in the dwt file if I change the path of:
var imgs = new Array('images/header1.jpg','images/header2.jpg','images/header3.jpg');
to
var imgs = new Array(../'images/header1.jpg',../'images/header2.jpg',../'images/header3.jpg');
but with the paths reading correctly (as below) in the html files it still doesn't work...
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
   if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
var imgs = new Array('images/header1.jpg','images/header2.jpg','images/header3.jpg');
var delay = 7500;
var counter = 0;
function preloadImgs(){
for(var i=0;i<imgs.length;i++){
    MM_preloadImages(imgs[i]);
function randomImages(){
if(counter == (imgs.length)){
    counter = 0;
MM_swapImage('rotator', '', imgs[counter++]);
setTimeout('randomImages()', delay);
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="preloadImgs();randomImages()">
Any help would be appreciated!

Wow - now I have a real doozy for you. That duplicate function has generated itself all on its own. The script in the template file is:
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
   if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
// Comma separated list of images to rotate
var imgs = new Array('images/header1.jpg','images/header2.jpg','images/header3.jpg');
// delay in milliseconds between image swaps 1000 = 1 second
var delay = 5000;
var counter = 0;
function preloadImgs(){
for(var i=0;i<imgs.length;i++){
    MM_preloadImages(imgs[i]);
function randomImages(){
if(counter == (imgs.length)){
    counter = 0;
MM_swapImage('rotator', '', imgs[counter++]);
setTimeout('randomImages()', delay);
</script>
As you can see - no duplication.
For some inexplicable reason, this is being added in to all the html pages based on the template:
MM_swapImage('rotator', '', imgs[counter++]imgs[i]);
function randomImages(){
if(counter == (imgs.length)){
    counter = 0;
Which explains why it works in the template file but not in any the html files. Of course, because the code is not in an editable region, I can't remove it manually from the html files. Have you ever heard of code generating itself in this manner? Or how to solve it?

[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!

Safari is sandboxed to not reveal filepath from html file select to Javascript ?

I know safari is sandboxed not to reveal filepath from html file select control to Javascript via the Value attribute , but i am unable to find any documentation regarding how this is done and since when this is present .. Can somebody please guide me with this ..?

Since Safari is able to save as HTML file a page if it is opened online (from web), making "Save as...", and it is unable to make so if the webarchive file is on the hard disk...I tried to upload on a web server some .webarchive files.
Then I went online in the web page with the list of all the uploaded .webarchive files... (ex.: http://....filename1.webarchive, etc...)...
My goal was to open ONLINE (not on hard disk) the files and then make "save as...",... but... SURPRISE!!! Safari is UNABLE to open a webarchive file from the web, it asks me where to save the file... it can only save it, it writes that it is an "application"...
I think this happens because .webarchive is not a real web page but a "package"... but my displeasure is this:
Once opened an hard disk's webarchive file, its content is loaded in ram and it appears like a normal web page (html + images + etc...)... so, in this moment, Safari should be able to save it "as...." HTML file too.... discarding images and other objects....
Any advice?
Thank you!!!

When I try to attach my css style sheet Dreamweaver gives me an error saying that my .css file appears to be an .html file and will not attach. How do I fix this so I can attach my style sheet?

I have built a css style sheet in Dreamweaver. When I try to attach it to my html website, it prompts me that my "css file appears to be an .html file and cannot attach". I've tried removing the /* */ as suggested by other forums, but this has not resolved the issue. I was using css style sheets with no problem 2 days ago. Now I get that error message. How do I fix this so I can attach my style sheet?

What does the code of the CSS file look like?
An external CSS file needs to be written in CSS only (no html tags like <html>, <body>, <head>, etc ).
It also must have a .css file extension, if yours has a .html extension it won't work.

How to include HTML file in JSP using HTML elements or Javascript?

Hi,
I have around 15000 static html files one for each item which we display each upon invoking an item.The HTML file should be part of a JSP file.
Please note that the name of the HTML file is determined dynamically
Placing all the HTML files within the web application does not give us good performance so i would like to put all of them in the webserver.
I am not able to include the file in the JSP using the jsp:include attribute if i place the HTML files in the webserver ,
in order to do that i think should use either HTML element or javascript to include the HTML in the JSP.is there any alternative to <Jsp:include>
Does anyone have an idea how to include the HTML file and take advan tage of webserver?
Any ideas are appreciated

What you need to do is simply read the HTML file from the disk and dump it out to the outputstream. It really is that simple.
There's no reason you need to include all 15000 files in the actual WAR, you can place those files any place handy that is easy for the application to see (in another directory, or accessible from a file server if you have multiple front ends).
Then, just write a utiility function that takes the output stream (i.e. the 'out' JSP variable), and the file name, read the file, and write it to the stream.
If you start noticing performance issues, then you can try doing some caching, but truth is your OS should be doing that for you.
But, truth be told that's the only practical way to do it.
Another solution would be to use JavaScriipt and XMLHttpRequest (i.e "AJAX") to load the file at the client side, and simply replace a tag with the results.
That's also pretty trivial to write, any web site talking about AJAX should give you hint there.
Of course, that won't work for folks who have JavaScript turned off, or some other incompatible browser, whereas the server side solution obviously works everywhere.

JavaScript error when I test deploy an html file

RoboHelp 8 HTML: If I do a test deploy (CTRL+W) of an html file that contains image maps, when I deploy the html file and click the image map, I get this:
This 'gbSafari3' appears to point to the Mac browser Safari 3, but I can't verify that. I get the same error with any html file that I do a test deploy on. The old workaround was to generate a new RoboHelp project, copy the new (127KB) ehlpdhtm.js file over the existing one, and that solved the problem. Doesn't seem to do it here.
IE 8 is my default browser, and I'm running WinXP. Thanks for any advice.

you should type this:

HTML file won't play/appear

Hello,
Why is it that I cannot get my published HTML files to play?
The Flash files work fine, but after uploading the HTML version to
our CMS and then linking, the window that opens is empty. Does this
have anything to do with the javascript file that is created?
Thanks!

Hi again Bethanne
Yes, all the files Captivate creates and places on your hard
drive should also be copied to the server. And they should all be
placed in the same folder on the server so they may find one
another.
It's a bit like a house of cards. Take away any one of the
elements and the whole of it collapses.
Cheers... Rick

HT2905 Is there an update for the newest version of iTunes. This option File Display Duplicates no longer appears under file.

Is there an update for the newest version of iTunes. This option "File > Display Duplicates" no longer appears as an option under "File." I just got a new PC and copied my music files onto a portable drive from my old PC and pasted them into the iTunes folder on the new PC. It appears there are several duplicate files. Looking to delete my duplicate songs as simply as possible instead of single track by singe track. Any help would be appreciated.

How to I get access to the Captivate object in javascript within an HTML file?

I'm still struggling with this and would really appreciate any help/guidance you can .
here's what I've got right now:
var g_bIsInternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;
document.write("<P><H1> g_bIsInternetExplorer=" + g_bIsInternetExplorer + "</H1></P>");
document.write("<P><H1> setting objCP....</H1></P>");
var objCp = g_bIsInternetExplorer ? Captivate : document.Captivate;
document.write("<P><H1> set objCP....</H1></P>");
var description = objCp.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.cpInfoDescription");
document.write("<P><H1> description=" + description + "</H1></P>");
I've published the captivate project.. I then launch it and then launch the html file that has this code in it
It does everyting up thru and including line 3
But it seems to fail on line 4..
Any ideas /suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hey Jim - thank you thank you thank you
Here's what was up with my code:
This worked:
alert("about to set objCP...");
var objCp = document.Captivate;
alert("completed setting of objCP, about to set get cpInfoDescription...");
var description = objCp.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.cpInfoDescription");
alert("description=" + description);
This did NOT work:
document.write("<P><H1> AT BEGINNING </H1></P>");
alert("about to set objCP...");
var objCp = document.Captivate;
alert("completed setting of objCP, about to set get cpInfoDescription...");
var description = objCp.cpEIGetValue("m_VarHandle.cpInfoDescription");
alert("description=" + description);
====
I'm guessing the 2nd didn't work because i tried to get the captivate object AFTER the script wrote something to an HTML file. I'm ultimately trying to get Captivate to generate a report for the user to report out what they did in response to the various quiz questions in the course (in HTML in table). I've posted a query on how to do this here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5120417#5120417
Any chance you could take a look at this posting and let me know your thoughts on how best to do this .. It seems like this would be a fairly common thing to do .. It comes stock in Articulate Storyline (through their 'Report.HTML') but I haven't found a comparable one in Captivate.
Thanks again!

How to link javascript files in myApp.app directory in IOS from html file in app StorageDirectory

I'm using Adobe Air 3 for IOS offline app, and I want to implement a download updates (html files + js,css) feature from within the application. The files would be displayed in a StageWebView component.
Since Apple doesn't allow saving files inside the installation directory, I must use ApplicationStorageDirectory instead to download files into.
I want those download html files to link to .js / .css files already installed within the main application directory (e.g. at myApp.app).
The reason for that is I want to minimize the number of the downloaded (shared) files as much as possible. Is this possible?
Thank you.

I think this doesn't work in StageWebView:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f7e64a7f12cd2dd1867-8000.html#WS901 d38e593cd1bac354f4f7b12e260e3e67-8000
"Note: Links in a StageWebView instance cannot open URLs that use a custom URI scheme."
So I can't for example do this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="app:/CSS/Templates.css" type="text/css" media="screen, mobile" title="main" charset="utf-8">
What I need is something like the following:
Inside ApplicationStoarageDirectory (/Library/Application Support/):
test.html
I need it to link to a css file located inside ApplicationDirectory (installation directory), something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../MyApp.app/CSS/Templates.css" type="text/css" media="screen, mobile" title="main" charset="utf-8">

Same html file viewed locally on laptop appears different from same file uploaded to server why?

I create an html file locally with CSS style sheets, etc. I view it locally and it looks the way it's intended, when I upload it and view it from a domain on a server, same files look bigger. That includes images, fonts, etc. I've even tried to reset firefox to no avail, but since it's the same file, I'm just viewing it locally and online, there should be no reason for such differences. OS is Vista Home Premium, Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13.

OK, after two days of googling, I think I might have found my own answer. It seems that resetting zoom DOES NOT overide a user's accidental use of <ctrl>- and <ctrl>+, something that developers might want to check into. I REPEATEDLY tried to reset zoom for the page, which did NOTHING. Finally, after stumbling upon http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=428&t=378606 I used <ctrl>- and then reset zoom, and now the page looks the same locally and online. Since <ctrl> is so close to <shift>, ESPECIALLY onlaptops, it's easy to see how someone could accidentally hit <ctrl>- INSTEAD of <shift>- while typing a URL into the browser window, which will cause this little nightmare I faced. So for the Devs, might want to consider programming reset zoom to also cancel out any <ctrl>- <ctrl>+ settings.

SSI of HTML file using SpryAssets

Hi,
I've saved a navigation header for my website in a nav.html
file. I'm trying to get another file, test.shtml, to use
server-side includes to include nav.html into it.
However, the nav.html file was built in DW using a Spry Menu
Bar, which stores its files in a directory SpryAssets.
I have the following statement located right after my
<body> tag, so it appears at the top of the webpage:

The design view in DW shows the nav.html file included, but
menu-bar is expanded to look like normal text. The DW preview
doesn't show the nav.html being there at all.
Any ideas how to solve this? The nav.html file sits in the
same directory as test.shtml, and looks great when I open nav.html
alone.
Thanks in advance. -Gary

An Include is a code fragment, not an entire page.
It should not contain <html> or <body> tags, just
the snippet of code that
you are replacing the Include directive with.
As currently set up, your page code will look like this once
the Include has
been processed by the server and "included" in the main page
code:
This means duplicate doctypes, head tags etc etc which won't
work.

KM, HTML file, Not rendering correctly

Hi Everyone
I have an html file that is stored in knowledge management. The html file references few folders/images that are also stored in KM. When I create a KM Document iView, the HTML file shows; however, the various images/style sheet that is stored along with the html file KM do not appear. Thus the html file is not rendering properly.
With this being said, I can create an URL iview and everything works as it should (the html file appears correctly with the necessary images). The problem is that I am developing a solution for an external and internal facing portal, thus the URL iView option is not going to work for me. I need to have a way for this KM html iView to display properly...perhaps with the KM Document iView template.
Has anyone encountered an issue such as this and can offer assistance. Again, the KM Document iView template will work, if the html file it is calling in KM can correctly reference other folders in KM that contain various images/style sheets that are a part of the html file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Scott

Hi Scott.
In order to solve your problem with relative links to image and css files inside KM I suggest two variants:
1. Replace relative links as I mentioned in this message Re: JavaScript and CSS info in WPC.
2.The second solution is:
a. Create an blank html file inside KM folder where the base.html file is stored.
b. Download the newly created file for local editing.
c. Place an iframe that points to your base html file between <BODY></BODY> tags. Use a following code as an example:
<iframe width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="base.html"></iframe>
d. Upload this file back to KM.
e. Point your KM Document iView to the created html file.
Best regards,
Aliaksandr Zhukau
