My developer cannot integrate webhelp into JSP and I'm not a developer.

Question

I have a developer in India who has never integrated
context-sensitive topics into a JSP application and I'm only
marginaly ahead of him, so I pointed him to the Adobe article at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/context_help.html.
However, he says that while he can call the help, it always
defaults to the welcome page.
He sent me his code:
javascript:ShowWebHelp('help/TASCHelp.htm',1,HH_HELP_CONTEXT,
14)
I also gave him an .h file named TASC_Help_mapfile.h and an
example of the mapID lines go as follows:
#define Getting_Started 14
I asked him why it was different than the code in the
example.
<a
href="javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0,'WebHelp/default.htm>WithNavPane',
HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 5)">Help</a>
However, being in India, I don't expect to hear from him till
tomorrow.
In the mean time, can anyone tell me if what he wrote is
acceptable and if it isn't, where he went wrong that I can point to
him when he gets back to me?

Answer 1

I am no expert with javaScript, but I think that the
difference between your developer's code and the example is only
the name of the method call. I assume that he has written a method
called ShowWebHelp that opens your chm file.
Also, I think that he should be able to make as many calls as
necessary to this method and replace the last parameter (14) with
the appropriate MapID to open the chm file to the appropriate
place.
As I said, I am only guessing really, so if I am wrong can
someone please correct me?
