Hyperlinks don't work in Compiled Help File

Had old version of RoboHelp (4?), then company installed Word
2003 which caused errors.
Purchased version X5. Brought in my old version of Help and
compiled using the new version of Robohelp.
The links and some of the BMP's do not seem to be recognized.
When I look at the precompile version things look fine.
But when compiled, the buttons are not found and the links do
not work.
Has anyone experienced something similar? I feel it must be
some one thing that I need to do. But it is confusing because some
links and buttons work, and some don't.
thank you.

I have a similar problem. My links work and my source code
works initially, but if I copy and paste the link, it breaks the
pasted link's source code. Here's the source code I'm using for my
email message:

If I review the source code in RoboHelp, it removes the %0A
(which represents a line break) with ||. If I replace || with %0A
again, it just converts it back to ||, which means nothing as far
as I know.
Thanks,

RoboDemo (Captivate) file links don't work in HTML Help

I have about 20 Flash movies (one .swf and one .html file
each) that I created using Captivate (formerly "RoboDemo"). They
are stored in a subfolder named "Demos" below the application
folder where my compiled Help file is stored. Each movie is
referenced in a Help topic with a statement like the following:
{ewl RoboEx32.dll, WinHelp2000, HREF="demos\dc_gaprop.htm"
ALTERNATE="Self_Running_Demo_Links”}
When I compile for WinHelp 4, the Flash movies run fine when
I open the topics that reference them as above. When I compile for
HTML Help, however, nothing happens when I open the topics that
reference them. All plain text topics and web page links appear to
work fine in the HTML Help version. I am running Help on my local
drive. I have a Windows XP machine. I am using RoboHelp 5.0 (a
little out of date, I know, could that be the issue???)
Thanks for your help!

Hi pgcalc
I'll spare you my normal admonishment about creating HTML
Help using RoboHelp for Word.
You might take a look at the following links and see if they
help any. They are geared toward RoboHelp HTML, but maybe provide
something useful that could help.
Link
one
Link
two
Keep us posted on whether the links were helpful.

Hyperlinks don't work, please help!! :(

Hi all,
I've created a new website and I would just like to know why my hyperlinks don't work? The facebook link used to, but ever since I posted the text under the menu icons in the middle of the site and then publish it won't activate any of them! This is really frustrating so I'm really hoping someone has an easy solution to this...
My URL is www.nurburgringnow.co.uk
Thanks,

It looks to me as though you have made your navigation menu using images places without a shape?
If so, what he is saying is that this shape has got into your footer and is covering everything else and the whole page, which is why your links will not work. If your links are covered by anything, then they won't work.
In iWeb select show all so you can see where things are on your site. Shorten your footer area and I would suggest that you remove the shape and then place it in the body of your site. To get your links to work you need to ensure that you send the shape to the back.

Hyperlinks don't work in fillable pdf forms

I have a question for you folks and am hoping you can help me. I am using Adobe Acrobat X Professional. I want to create "fillable" pdf forms which include hyperlinks. When I create a pdf form and "Save as" a "Reader extended PDF" and "Enable additional features" the hyperlinks don't work. I save the document this way in order to produce a fill-in pdf document. However, if I save the document as a regular pdf (i.e., not reader extended/non-fillable pdf form) then the hyperlinks work. Any ideas how I can get the hyperlinks to work in a fillable pdf form? Thanks!
Chris Quarto

Hi Michael:
I'm sorry...I wish I knew what "autorecognized links" were. : ( As I mentioned in my reply to David, I created the hyperlinks in Microsoft Word before I converted the Word document to a pdf.
I have resolved the problem and posted my step-by-step solution a few days ago, but for some reason I don't see it in this forum. It kind of goes like this...to get hyperlinks to work with fillable pdf's:
1. Create Microsoft Word document and save when done.
2. While in Word, click on "Acrobat" on menu bar (assuming you have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro on your computer) and "Create pdf;" confirm that hyperlinks work and close document.
3. Open pdf document with Acrobat Pro and selected "Create pdf form."
4. Edit the "fillable" parts of the document (e.g., make all fields/text boxes 10 pt. font size...I wish there was a way of setting the default so you wouldn't have to manually do this for each field/box, but haven't figured out how to do that one yet).
5. Close form editing.
6. Select File --> Save as --> Reader extended pdf --> Enable additional features.
7. Save file
8. Close file and re-open to verify that hyperlinks and fields work/are fillable.
That's my solution. There's probably an easier way to do this, but it works.
Thanks,
Chris

Hyperlinks don't work in Preview

I created a PDF file from a PowerPoint presentation using Mac OS X. My PDF file has hyperlinks in it that work fine when viewed in Acrobat Reader. But I'm unable to get any of the hyperlinks to work when viewing the file with the built in program "Preview" that is part of the Mac OS X operating system.
There are plenty of PDF files on the Internet with hyperlinks that work in both Apple Preview and Acrobat Reader. But the PDF files I create using Mac OS X, don't seem to function properly in Preview.
Any suggestions?

I found this bit of information here ( http://www.cs.wright.edu/~jslater/mac-tex/mac-tex-intro/mactexintro.html):
Adobe Reader (I wouldn’t)
Adobe Acrobat (Not this either)
Preview (Maybe better)
Skim (Awesome, my pick)
TEXShop - Works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
iTEXMac - Also works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
OzTEX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
CMacTEX(if not using PDFLaTEX)
MacDVIX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
If PDFTEX is used, any PDF(R) viewer can be used, but hyperlinks don’t work in viewers using Apple’s(R) PDF code (e.g. Preview, iTEXMac, TEXShop, Skim...), so you may want to have Adobe Reader(R) or Acrobat installed to test your hyperlinks.

Hyperlinks Don't Work in Preview/Publish Mode - Correct in Design View

I am having trouble with hyperlinks. I've deleted existing hyperlinks, then copied and pasted addresses back in but it is still not working. Any idea why this is happening.
www.ronbrendle.com/reviews.html
To the right of each album the links for amazon, itunes and cdbaby do not work. They DO work for the Bunky Moon album but I cannot discern any difference. In Muse design view, the hyperlink addresses are correct when I select the amazon, itunes or cdbaby element.
Also - when I copy a page URL from this site - it pastes the title tag. For example:
www.ronbrendle.com/reviews.html becomes "Brendle is a monster bassist." JazzTimes
Please help if you can.
Thank you,
Deanna

Hyperlink don't work with "download a document"

I use iWeb 2006. My web site <www.xicro.it> have a link with a document to download. This kind of hyperlink don't work on line, but it work when you check the site in local host.
Do you have any answer or any other experiences concerning this problem?
Thank

Hi,
You can put the file which you want people to be able to download in a zip. Then put a link on your website to that zip file (normal link) and as soon as you click on the link the zip will download.
In your case that would be xoomer.alice.it/xicro/F537BB88-A61B-11DB-9BB2-000393D45032/xxxxxxxxx.zip
Tanti saluti, benvenuto nel forum di 'Apple support' e spero che funzioni,

Saved Pages document as PDF. Now hyperlinks don't work

After saving my newsletter in Pages 09 as a PDF (Print>Compress as PDF) some embedded hyperlinks don't work. Strangely enough, the links to an e-mail DO work, but links to a URL DO NOT. Why is this and what do I do to overcome this problem?

That's a fairly long thread I linked to. Did you get all the way down to this post with a screenshot? I see that others had the same problem you do & it took them a couple of tries to get it working. I would be nice to be able to see what you're doing (or not doing), but we have to make do with words & screenshots.

Hyperlinks won't work in compiled file

I have several hyperlinks in our online help file that are
supposed to either open your email or go to our website. I have
them set correctly from what i can tell.. and also have them set to
open in a separate window..
when i select the hyperlinks in the source file, right click,
and choose "Open hyperlink" they work fine. They do EXACTLY what
they are supposed to do.
However.. when i compile the file and go to those same
hyperlinks, nothing happens. No cursor appears to allow me to click
on the links, let alone open them.
What am i missing?
Thanks,
Kelley

My compiled help files was working and now is broken in LabVIEW 2009

I've created a .chm file for distributing an add-on VI Library. In order to get my product certified as "LabVIEW compatible", a help file with pretty good documentation is required. Using the Microsoft Help Workshop, I have created a .chm file that works in LabVIEW 8.5 and 8.6. Once I distribute to LabVIEW 2009, the javascript portions of the help file fail. These functions are:
1) Place on Block diagram
2) Find on Functions Palette
3) Open Example
I have determined that this is due to a variable written in NI glang.chm file. The file internal to the chm file is called "lvversion.js" and contains a variable named "lvversion". The marketing decision to name the product "LabVIEW 2009" has contributed to this problem since this variable is equal to "9.0.0", yet the path is (typically) C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\help
I originally decompiled NIs glang.chm file to analyze the javascript functions that are required for the above 3 buttons to work.I found that NI hardcodes the URL of the help services in a file called "helpserver.js" to be something like "http://127.0.0.1:3580/National%20Instruments/LabVIEW/LabVIEW {major-version}" where major version is "8.5" rather than "8.5.1"
A call to the function "openProj" would then look something like:
http://127.0.0.1:3580/National%20Instruments/LabVIEW/LabVIEW 8.5/OpenVIFromHelp?PROJ=myProject.lvproj
NI hardcodes these URL in glang.chm::/helpserver.js, and I would gladly read them directly if Javascript were less crippled. Since that hasn't worked yet, I did a regular expression in javascript to determine the version based on the path of the document. This worked until LabVIEW 2009 where the path is (typically):
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009
but the version in glang.chm::/lvversion is "9.0.0"
Yes, I can workaround that by doing some javascript that says:
if(version == 2009)
            version = "9.0"
        else
            version = version
However, when 9.0.1 comes out, will it be LabVIEW 2009 still, or LabVIEW 2010? I'd like my javascript code to decoupled from any particular version so I don't have to relase a new version of my toolkit for each LabVIEW major or minor release.

OK I finally worked around this. Here is some javascript code that will look for a file called "lvversion.js" inside the <LabVIEW Directory>\help\glang.chm file. save this as a javascript file named "myjavascript.js"
var path=getPath();
function getPath() {
path = unescape(location.pathname); //replace %20 with " ", etc.
path = path.replace("@MSITStore:","");
path = path.replace(/\w+.html/,""); //strip off .html file
path = path.replace(/\w+.chm::./,""); //strip off .chm file
//Write javascript paths to page. Helpserver URL is hardcoded in each LabVIEW version
document.writeln("<script src=\"ms-its:" + path + "glang.chm::/lvversion.js\"></"+"script>");
document.writeln("<script src=\"ms-its:" + path + "glang.chm::/helpserver.js\"></"+"script>");
return path;
Then refer to it in an html document that will be compiled into a .chm file along with the javascript.
<script src="myjavascript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Now when you call functions from NI's glang.chm::/helpserver.js file, you won't need to prepend and URL or path information to the function to determine which version of LabVIEW you are in. I tested this on 8.5, 8.6, and 2009 and it now pulls up all my examples properly in all of those versions. The following demnostrates a call to "openProj" which opens a project containing all of my examples from a javascript button in the detailed help .html file that gets compiled into the .chm file:
<p class="Body">Refer to the Read From Mobile Registry VI in the <span class="Monospace">labview\user.lib\mobile_registry\examples\Mobile Registry Examples.lvproj</span> for an example of using the Close Registry Key VI.</p><p class="Body"><a href="javascript&colon;openProj('user.lib%5C%5Cmobile_registry%5C%5Cexamples%5C%5CMobile%20Registry%20Examples.lvproj');"><img src="minibutton.gif" border="0"></a> Open example&nbsp</p>

Hyperlinks don't work, pause button on quicktime music doesn't work, help!

Hi,
This is my second time with I web, having created and maintained a site for 2 years I know a lot about the program. The thing that kills me with this program is that even when you think you do something right, there's a chance it just may not work!
My hyperlinks, for example (www.johndoing.com), don't seem work at all when I select "open in new window". In other words, the ones on the "calendar" page work fine because they don't open in a new window. The ones on the "what I do" page just don't work at all!!! I deleted them and re-linked them and re up-loaded them twice! I don't have any more time to spend on that part of the site!
Then there is the "home" page. "welcome" and "biography" are both hyperlinks if you see both:
http://www.johndoing.com/newestsite/welcome.html
and http://www.johndoing.com/newestsite/biography.html
You'll see what I mean. They work great in IWeb, there's nothing on top of them blocking them, and I'm at a total loss because they just don't work online.
The other big problem with the site is that none of the quick time music players work! If they are on autoplay, they can't pause, if they are not on autoplay, they can't play.
I'm very frustrated, I hope somebody can give me some advice.
I uploaded using "cyberduck", I have the latest version of Iweb and OSX...
Any help is appreciated, thanks,
JD
My url is www.johndoing.com .

because of z-index and the inconsistent way you added the black frame/stroke, see my post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7431333&#7431333
you need to add a text in the body_layer (as in the Sounds page), size it, add the stroke and send it to the back.
the qt play button works when you control click it, that's bypass z-index layering.
