Image Link in HTML Help Doesn't Work (Works Fine in PDF)

Question

Using TCS V1.3 with the latest patches.
Single source project with FM to RH -- output to HTML Help.
I want to create a hyperlink over an image that, when clicked, opens a new topic within the same .chm file.
Here's what I did:
1. Imported image by ref. into FM.
2. Created text box over image.
3. Created a hypertext link (Specify Named Destination) at the beginning of the destination heading/topic.
4. Created a hypertext link (Jump to Named Destination) inside the text box.
5. Tested link in FM - works fine.
6. Tested link in PDF - works fine.
7. Tested in .chm - link doesn't exist, just the image.
Have I missed a step?

Hello,
Its because Spry attaches event listeners on the "tabs / buttons / handles" of the accordion, these event listeners are set so they prevent default events.
There a few ways to solve it.
- Add a onclick event to your <a> elements that does this:
onclick="window.location = this.href; return true;"
- Or you could add another event listener that does it for you, so you don't have to bother adding onclick="" to your elements
- Or edit the SpryAccordion.js. On line 248 to 276 you will find:
if (e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault();
else e.returnValue = false;
if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
else e.cancelBubble = true;
return false;
Replace it with:
if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
else e.cancelBubble = true;
return true;
Hopes this helps,
