Help! Compiled help won't display

My Webhelp project was working fine until yesterday. Now, when I compile the help, I don't get an error message but when I click View Result, IE 8 can't display it! It tries a couple times and then gives up. I am using Windows XP Professional and RoboHelp HTML 10. Any thoughts as to what's wrong? (BTW, I've tried double-clicking the main help file from Windows Explorer as well, with the same result.) Mozilla Firefox 12 DOES display the file.
Thank you in advance for any help!

If it's not MOTW then, did any settings in your IE change that aren't letting you view local htm files?

RH7 compiled topics won't display and throw an IE (syntax) script error

Pundits,
I am using RH 7 to create projects of about 600 topics. My OS is Windows XP Pro 2002, SP-3. My problem is that approximately 10% of the topics in my .chm file prompt an IE script error msg when I, or anyone else, tries to open them.
Here's the error msg:
When this window displays, user can click on either Yes or No and topic will display normally; the next time a user attempts to open this topic, same error displays, with same Yes/No click behavior.
When I look at the html for any of the "bad" topics (i.e., topics that won't display), there is always this one extra line of code, referring to the ehlpdhtm.js file in my project folder:
<script language="javascript" src="ehlpdhtm.js"></script>
This line is never in the html of the "good" topics.
Can anyone shed any light on what's causing this, and what I can do to remedy the situation?
Thanks in advance.
Dennis

William,
I have gone thru my project now and, as I stated in my May 1 mail to you, I have made duplicates of all of the "bad" topics and all of these new topics are now displaying correctly.
Now I have a related, but different issue.
Only one topic is causing that same error msg to display (refer to my original April 27 post: IE script error/syntax error; Line 13, character 1).
The only topic that throws that error msg is the initial topic that displays when the .chm file is opened (i.e., the topic that is specified as the "Default Topic" in the HTML Help Options window when I click the Generate Layout button in the SSL pod.)
Furthermore, the topic that throws the error message will only do so if it is the one specified as the Default Topic.
As an example, if I have the topic Apple specified as the Default Topic, when the .chm file is opened the error msg window will display; when the user clicks either Yes or No to the "Do you want to continue running scripts?" query, the Apple topic will display normally. Each time that topic is selected it will throw the same error msg. window.
If I go back to my project in RH and change the Default Topic to the Pear topic, re-compile the project, when the .chm file is opened the error msg will display; when you click Yes/No the Pear topic will display normally (until it's selected again). The Apple topic now displays fine at all times.
This tells me that the problem seems not to be with the Apple topic, as I'd suspected, but with something that's going on with RH and how it displays the initial topic in a compiled project. I think.
Any ideas on how I can remedy this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Pages help won't display topics

I don't know what's going on. I've shut down and restarted several times.
If I try to access Help from Pages, and choose Pages Help, the Help Center comes up. I enter a search term or two, and it will display a bunch of titles of topics.
No matter how I try to click or select any topic, it will NOT display the actual topic, so that I can find out how to do the thing I'm trying to look up.
(Running on Macbook Pro, early 2011, Mountain Lion. App store app claims everything is up to date)

TG,
You might be better off forgetting about the Help topics and using the Pages User Guide PDF. Download it from the Help menu and then save it to your HD for future use.

Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. HELP!

Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. Once it displayed but the presentation mode was on the big screen and the presentation I wanted to show was on my MBP screen. I have the adapter( white ones) to attached to the projector cables. I am so frsutrated...it looks so silly not to have a computer work during a presentation..
Another problem one the rare occasion that it shows on the screen is that the presentation does show just my desk top. Any ideas?
Thanks !

You often have to turn off Mirroring to be able to set the second "screen"s resolution to something reasonable. When you do, the two screens become an "Exceeded Desktop" joined along one edge, and the Arrange pane in displays prefs can allow you to specify what edge. Initially, it will show a vacant extension of the built-in screen's desktop.
The mouse moves freely across that shared edge, and can allow you to drag the presentation window across to the the projector screen and re-size it to fit.

Need help with page display URGENTLY!!!

Hey,
I'm trying to start up my new iPod nano. I've got the songs for it, but the page won't display all the way. Where it says the licence of agreement it won't show the o.k. button and before that it doesn't say the register button either. It doesn't do this on my internet. Or on anything else. So now I can't put anything on my iPod because I can't get it started up.
Please help! I really need to put some songs on my new iPod!!!!
Please and thank you.

Try increasing the resolution of your computer's screen (right-click on the desktop -> Properties - Settings; you want 1024x768 or higher) and perhaps then you'll be able to see all the buttons and controls in iTunes.

Search Help with Structure Display

Hi,
I want to create a search help which should display my output in the structure format base on the different levels.
I have already written a test program which display all the values in proper structure format. But I wanna do the same in the search help. It has to display the output in the structure format.
Please guide me how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Karthik

hello,
you could write additional report based on ALV tree. So you would have the stucture which you want to have and on value request call your custom program. i doubt that there is FM or class which could generate search help tree. So basically you have to write your own logic. Or you could use GuiXt tool. Example and tutorial.

For only one field, F4 Help icon is displaying left hand side in editable ALV of custom report which is using custom table. other fields f4 on same report is showing right hand side. The difference i see for the field F4 showing left side has domain values maintained and f4 showing right hand side has value table maintained. Please help me to display the F4 on right side.

Help cannot be displayed because no help context ID was passed

Hi Guys,
When I click Help icon from HRMS 9.1, I got the below error.
"Help cannot be displayed because no help context ID was passed. To view the PeopleSoft Online Library, click here."
I can access PeopleBooks PSOL by http://webserver:port/PSOL/hrms/eng/index.htm correctly. Did someone run into this error before?
Thanks,
Bob

I've generally found this to be a problem with the URL you are using, in particular the case of the URL parameters, for example:
The following URL will work for PeopleTools PeopleBooks
http://hostname.domain.com:port/PSOL/htmldoc/f1search.htm?ContextID=MESSAGE_CATALOG&LangCD=ENG
Howe the following URL wil give you the help cannot be displayed because no help context ID was passed:
http://hostname.domain.com:port/PSOL/htmldoc/f1search.htm?contextID=MESSAGE_CATALOG&LangCD=ENG
Note that in the example that works the parameter is ContextID and when it fails the parameter is contextID (lowercase C).
This URL should be set up the in the appropriate web profile as the Help URL.
Note that you can also use the Oracle hosted PeopleBooks (although they are slower) for context sensistive help. Instructions are here:
http://tahiti.oracle.com/pdf/EnablingtheHelpLinkfromApplicationPages.pdf
For example the above can be tested using the following URLs for PeopleTools 8.50 PeopleBooks:
Works: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15645_01/pt850pbr0/f1search.htm?ContextID=MESSAGE_CATALOG&LangCD=ENG
