Links from images broken in "W3C Compliant"

I raised a false alarm, for which I apologize.
There is one issue that affects IE when WebHelp is generated
with W3C Compliant topics. Please see a new post about that.
There are some code differences, but they do not break links
to a popup or jump to another topic in IE 6, IE 7, or Firefox
2.0.0.13 (released yesterday).
Again, if anyone wasted time trying to verify broken links, I
am truly sorry.
Harvey

Hello Harvey -
Testing your initial post wasn't a waste of time...in fact I
learned a VERY IMPORTANT LESSON about RH, IE, Firefox, Opera and
image/hyperlink screen tips.
I learned that IE6 "screen tip on hover" reads the RH "Image
screen tip" entry but FF and Opera read the RH "Hyperlink screen
tip" entry.
THUS: to make IE and FF/Opera screen tips "appear" the same,
one must enter the SAME screen tip into BOTH the Image Screen Tip
text box and the Hyperlink Screen Tip text box!
(Now, how long will it take me to check 3,000 images and
hyperlinks in my current project?)
Regards,
GEWB

How to keep links from being broken when moved or file is later split

Which is the best way to make sure that a link to another pdf file is not broken when a file is emailed or moved to a new location off of the server? Should you link a destination or use the hyperlink feature?
If the links are created and the file then has to be split, will the links be retained in the split files?

PDF moved —
PDF#1 has a link to PDF#2. To keep this link functional after putting PDF#1 elsewhere:
--| Relocate PDF#2 with PDF#1; maintaining the same path to the target of the link (which is PDF#2).
--| Or, use Acroat's link tool to modify the link in PDF#1 so that you establish a functional path to wherever PDF#2 is at.
For email, if PDF#1 & PDF#2 are adjacent to one another under some folder/directory & then linked you'd want to email both files together. Both PDFs can be saved &, provided they stay adjacent, the links will work.
PDF split —
PDF#3 has internal links (e.g., a link from PDF page 1 to some other PDF page in PDF#3).
You split PDF#3 by extracting the first 5 PDF pages & now have PDF#4.
Any links in PDF#4, to PDF#3 pages past page 5 will not function.
Use Acrobat's Link tool to modify the link such that it goes from PDF#4 to the desired page in PDF#4.
n.b., There are 3rd party plug-ins for Acrobat that can facilitate bookmark and link management.
A web search will provide a listing.
Be well...

Linking from image in swf to another .chm

* RoboHelp 6
* Vista
* HTMLHelp (.chm) Output
Here's my situation. I have a master .chm and the main intro
/ welcome page the user sees, contains an embedded flash file (.swf
file). Inside the swf there are some images that when clicked on
are supposed to jump the user to sub .chm files that are merged
into the master .chm. However, when I click on the link nothing
happens. I can link to actual pages in the main help file and to
pages on the web, but it won't open a sub .chm help file.
My work around for this was to create a redirection .htm
inside the main help that used this javascript code to push the
link to the actual .chm file:
<script LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
window.location="pcdmisip.chm::/Inspection_Planner_Introduction.htm";
</script>
This does work. However, because of the redirection, users
can't use the help viewer's "Back" button anymore to get to the
main page with the .swf, because clicking Back hits the redirection
and just pushes the user right back to the current page.
Any suggestions on getting links to sub .chm projects work
from within a .swf file?

Hi JaredHess
What are you using to create the .SWF? If you aren't getting
a .SWF to link properly, oftentimes it is because of security
restrictions that are set by the Flash control. I have a tutorial
on setting these that may help. You may view it by
clicking
here. Note that it has a link to the Flash Settings Manager so
you don't have to hunt it up.
Cheers... Rick

Add a link from image in web app

I need to add a link to social media site in a static image in a web app detail layout.
I have thought this would be...
<a href="{tag_facebook}"><img alt="" src="/_assets/css/images/social-facebook.png" /></a>
but this displays the link bedside the icon.
I have tried field type "Text string (Hyperlink)" and "Text string (String)".
any help appreciated.
thanks megan

Hey Liam,
Franchise list of stores added to a web app abd each store can have a different link added to the icon.
The icon is hard coded into the layout
The url needs to change for each
e.g. 15 Stores, some have their own Facebook page, some will link to a central Facebook page.
So the icon is static in the web app detail layout, but url changes.
When I add the code
<a href="{tag_facebook}"><img alt="" src="/_assets/css/images/social-facebook.png" />
the result in browser looks like...
thanks Liam

Remove Link from image

Hi,
I have just converted an MS Word 2013 doc into PDF via the MS Word Export utility. This worked great, however, when I hover over any of the images that are part of the document, a yellow box appears showing a path to the location from where the image originated on my hard drive. I went back to the Word doc and removed all Metadata, then exported it to PDF once again, but again, the path still shows when you hover over an image. This is not restricted to the PC I used to create the doc. When I transfer the PDF file to another PC, the path still shows.
Does anyone know how to prevent this? I'm using the free Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.07
Many thanks

Reader can't create PDF files. You're using an internal function of Word, so your question should be asked on a Word forum.

Hypertext link from image loaded via xml

I thought this would be easy but for some reason it's not
working.
What I want to accomplish:
Make an image loaded into my textArea via XML a link. I
thought I could do something like this:
<a href='
http://www.mysite.com"><img
src="myImage.jpg"/></a>
Simple enough you'd think but the image appears but with no
hypertext link capabilities. :(
Any thoughts? Wisdom?
Thanks.

Hi Marghoob,
Thanks for your reply. Turns out it is a bug with the Flash 7
player. The code works fine in the Flash 8 and 9 player. I guess
this was a reminder that I should look for the simple things first.

Spry Tabbed Panels and Pop Up Link from Image Hotspot

I've created an image map with Hotspot links to either send to another web page or to open a previously created Pop Up window with information.
I've imported my image, image map and Hotspots into a tab
The issue I'm having is when clicking on the hotspot (within the Spry tabbed panel), to open the pop up page; it doesn't work
If I select a Hotspot which sends users to another web page, that works ok.
Would appreciate it if someone else who has run into this and what your recommendation is for a fix.
thanks, R Silva

Hi,
Unable to post to a public server; however I've attached the files so the code can be reviewed.

Make the link from the single cell of Bex Report and the image of bill

Hi guys,
my client scan every bill and archive the image by File.net technology.
In our Bex Report we have the Bill number and we want to make the link from the single cell and the image of bill.
The possible paths to solve the problem are:
Replicate the image in BW and crate a link from the single cell and the image of document.
Create an URL link from the single cell and the image of document archived on File.net server.
In witch way we can to implement the two paths?
Thank you.

If I try and follow a link from another website to open another I get awclick.php (GIF Image 1x1) pixels in a new tab instead of the web page I want.

I was trying to open a website as a link from another website and I get a new tab that says
awclick.php(GIF Image 1x1 pixels)
I can open the website without clicking on a link to it by just typing in the address but as this is a cash back site I am linking from it doesn't help!

You're welcome

How do I create a dial link from a hotspot on an image in Dreamweaver CS5?

I understand how to create a link from text, or from an image, but I need to create a link within the image map so that clients on their cell phones can call by clicking on my chosen hotspot. Any suggestions?

Right, thanks. I've had to adapt it and create 2 more duplicate contact images, for the other small screens as the image maps are too large on the smaller screens. But I managed to get it to work how I want. Thank you.
But I can't figure out how to do the tel: link. I've tried so many variations. But when I update the website, and try it on my mobile phone (which by the way, is not an iPhone, it's just a Samsung Tocco Lite), the tel: links won't work, both on the images, and the raw text. My phone just keeps coming up with an error message, saying: "Invalid Phone Number".
The text tel: links are: <div class="PhoneNumber"><a href="tel:+64-09-537-1458">09537 1458</a></div>
I've had to put the phone numbers in seperate div tags, that way, I can hide each div tag, according to the layout for the screen sizes.
And the image tel: links are: <area shape="rect" coords="6,36,110,59" href="tel:+649537 1458" />
As you can see, both these tel: links are different, but both don't work.
Is there something I've done wrong to make the error message pop-up instead of dialing the number? Or is it the case of it being my mobile phone that doesn't support it. How can I correct it in each instance if it is the case, so that it will work on all forms of mobile phones?
Please note that I am in New Zealand, and the country code is 64. and 09 is the area code.
Thanks.
Edit: It doesn't matter now. I've managed to figure it out, and it now works on my phone.

Extracting Image Links From HTML

Hi, at the moment am trying to extract image locations from the html files i.e. the "src" part of <img> tag. Have tried using HTMLParserCallback as I know this allow you to extract links from a page. However when I open a document I know to have <img> tags in it, handleStartTag() is not called, I only get all the other tags. Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks very much,
Ross

Hi,
Here's a portion of a class I wrote a while back....
Note the useMap variable I introduced in the constructor.
Some HTML files had the images in a "map" attribute, others in an "imgmap" attribute.
regards,
Owen
private class CallbackHandler extends HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback
    private HTML.Tag tag;       // The most recently parsed tag
    private HTML.Tag lastTag;   // The last tag encountered
    private int nested = 0;
    private boolean useMap;
    public CallbackHandler(boolean useMap)
        super();
        this.useMap = useMap;
    public void handleText ( char[] data, int pos )
    public void handleStartTag ( HTML.Tag t, MutableAttributeSet attSet, int pos )
    public void handleSimpleTag ( HTML.Tag t, MutableAttributeSet attSet, int pos )
        if ( t.toString().equalsIgnoreCase ( "input" ) )
            boolean imagemap = false;
            String name = null;
            String src = null;

                SimpleAttributeSet sattSet = (SimpleAttributeSet)attSet;
                Enumeration atts = sattSet.getAttributeNames();
                Object att;
                while ( atts.hasMoreElements() )
                    att = atts.nextElement();
                    if ( att.toString().equalsIgnoreCase ( "name" ) )
                        name = (String)sattSet.getAttribute ( att );
                        // got the name of the attribute
                        // Note : useMap is a boolean flag for you to set.
                        //        Some HTML pages used "map" attributes, others "imgmap" attributes
                        if ( useMap )

Creating multiple links from one map image in Flash CS4

I have been tasked with creating multiple links from one map image using flash. Each link would go to the main website page with that location. I assume I could create a button for each location on the map but not having a lot of experience any help / tutorial you know of would be super helpful.. Thanks! Not looking for someone to work me thru it but a little guidance would be great!

If I was to answer the problem, I would be giving you what you asked not to be given... the solution. So I'll suggest that you start by researching the getURL() function. That is what AS2 uses for opening web pages.
As for coding a button, I'll recommend the following article for you... it will explain the proper approach to coding a button, which will give you an advantage over others who don't follow it, but instead use the way the article says not to.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/as_bestpractices_04.html
Google is one of the best resources available for learning how to do things with Flash--it's the first place I go when I have a wondering. In general, if you type in the right keywords, you get fairly good search results. In your case, combinations of "AS2", "button", "getURL", "tutorial" would probably work well.

Search for broken links to images

Is there an efficient way to search for broken links to
images?

Hi there
I'm not sure if you are meaning to ask about links inside
topics that point to images that you are popping up or linking to
outright or if instead, you mean that some of the images that are
supposed to be displayed inside topics are maybe missing and you
wish to know about them.
One easy way to spot a missing image reference is by using
the Project Manager. Not sure if you are using RoboHelp 7, 8 or
older here, but if on 7 or 8 look in the Project Manager pod.
Otherwise it will be found on the left panel of the application.
Expand the Images pseudo folder and quickly scan the list of images
and expand sub folders inside. Any missing image should be listed
with a red x to indicate the status. You may then examine the image
properties to see which topic(s) is/are still referencing it.
Cheers... Rick
