Pop Up Behavior in RoboHelp 9
My company has just upgraded from RoboHelp 7 to RoboHelp 9 and I am fairly new to RoboHelp so I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out an issue I am experiencing. I am working on a project that originated in RH7 that has been updated for RH9. I ran the "Update DHTML Effects Tool" and tried everything I could think of to try to address this issue but I'm stymied.
This project makes very frequent use of pop-ups that link to other topics/images for quick reference. I noticed that the pop-ups that originated in RH7 appear to work fine - i.e., clicking on a link results in a pop-up that does just that....pops up over the link. However when previewing topics that contain pop-ups that were added in RH9, clicking on the link to reveal the pop up causes the screen to scroll to the beginning of the host topic rather than just having the pop up appear where the link is. Once the pop-up is dismissed, you must scroll back down to the link in order to resume reading the original topic. This occurs with both auto-sizing and custom-sized pop ups.
Is there a control or code that must be implemented to prevent this behavior in RH9?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, the same issue occurs when generating the output and viewing the topic. I should note that the project is using a template that was created in RH7. When importing that template as a "Master Page" and starting from scratch in a new project, the issue does not appear to occur.
I did also notice that links to bookmarks within other topics do not work correctly in the upgraded project. The bookmarks are present and the highlighted text is still linked to the bookmark but when previewing (or reviewing in the final output) the link brings up the start of the topic containing the bookmark, not the text that has been bookmarked. Each link has to be redefined in order to work properly.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and I just added a pop up behavior to show up when someone goes to my home page. How do I show line breaks in the pop up? Right now, it only shows up as a big block of text.and this is the full code for the page if you need it:

I don\'t want to go all out and promote the site all over the place because when I do decide to do that, I want this site to look used. Please create an account and go contribute to any parts of the site you can... and you can even create a user account and just make stuff up... once you create a \'fake\' user account, think about posting something you could see someone else posting... basically, there are alot of different parts to this site, and I desperately need content so when I do spread the word, the site will look like its been in use and people are active on it... if I spread the word and the pages are empty (\'like they are now) people might dismiss it altogether. So, please, figure out a way to contribute to the site in any way you can. Don\'t spend your time reading my blogs... if you\'re going to spend any time here, add stuff to the site.')">

<td valign="top"><ul>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">CREATE ACCOUNT TO POST ON THE SITE</span>: I really hope everyone who visits this site creates a user account--this feature is more important than you might realize, and I will go into why its important below. A user account is required to make posts on most of the pages on this site. <em>ALL FIELDS IN THE CREATE ACCOUNT FORM ARE OPTIONAL (except or email address)</em> <br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">LINKS TO PROFILES</span>: I require an account to post because someone who may not post still might read things on the site and notice that a specific user says a lot of things that really apply to their own situation. Whenever someone makes a post, anyone can click their username to read their profile and discover that they have a lot in common.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">USER-2-USER</span>: The term 'pen pal' sounds lame, but that's essentially what U2U is. As I just said above, someone may read another's profile and posts, and see that they have been in very similar situations. When you create an account, there is an option for whether or not you are interested in participating in the U2U feature. Having an ongoing back-and-forth with someone can be really helpful in the recovery process.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">PRIVATE MESSAGES:</span> When you click a user's name and are taken to that user's profile, click the "Send Message" link at the top of the profile. You will be taken to a form which you can fill out to send that user a private message. The idea behind it is to allow you to discuss something that the user may have posted on another part of the site in greater detail... or to understand what they posted more clearly... or maybe a struggling user posts something about what they are having trouble living with and you feel compelled to send them a message to offer your advice in a more personal way--that's exactly the kind of situation I created this site for--and believe me, taking the initiative to offer advice privately is extremely rewarding. Users are automatically notified that they have received a private message by email.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">EMAIL A USER</span>: When you are creating an account, there are two options regarding your email address. First, you have the option to choose whether or not your email address is visible in your profile for all users to see. Second, you have the option to allow users to email you--except that users cannot see your email address--instead, they can fill out a form and write a message to you that is sent straight to your email.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">FOLLOW USER</span>: If you notice that another user keeps making posts that really apply to your situation, you can click their username, be taken to their profile, and then click the "FOLLOW USER" button. After you have done that, you can go to your own profile (or click the "Posts by Followed Users" link in the side bar after you have logged in) and be taken to a page where you will see links for every post that the users you follow have made. When a followed user makes new posts, your followed users page automatically updates.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">USER BLOGS</span>: Once you create an account, you can go to your profile (by clicking the "Go to my Profile" link in the side bar after you have logged in) and click the ">>>Start a Blog" link. You will be taken to a form where you can come up with a Name for your blog, post the title for your first blog and post your first blog itself. (as an analogy, the 'Name' of the blog would be "Star Wars" while the 'Title' of a given blog would be "The Empire Strikes Back" -- yep, I'm a geek at heart).<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">READ USERS BLOG</span>: When you click a username and are taken to that user's profile, if that user has created a blog, there will be a "Read [user]'s Blog" link. When you click it, you will be taken to their most recent blog. If you want to read their older blogs, click the "Previous Blogs" link. Just like my blogs, all registered users can post comments in response to a user's blog.</li>
</ul></td>

<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader"> BLOG ARCHIVE</span>: I will post at least three blogs a week--a featured blog, metaphor blog and quote blog. Click the 'BLOG ARCHIVE' link (in the sidebar) to be taken to a page where I explain each category of blog in greater detail. Click "Go to [category of blog] Archives" to be taken to a page that lists all the blogs I have posted. The BLOG ARCHIVE page also includes the links to all USER BLOGS that have been posted as well.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">YOUR COMMENTS</span>: The least important part of the site is my blogs. They'll probably be hit or miss as far as a given user is concerned... you might disagree with what I write, and that's fine--I encourage it, actually. That's why I have included the comments feature for all of my blogs and all of the user blogs. The comments feature was created so someone can correct me, provide a different perspective on the topic of the blog, or bring up certain things I may have overlooked while I was writing a certain blog. My blogs aren't gospel. I want them to spark conversation more than anything.... I could make a legitimate argument that the comments feature that goes along with the blogs is more important than my blogs themselves. To read and post comments, navigate to a blog and click the "Comments" link to be taken to a page containing the blog and the comments related to it, and then click "Post Comment" to be taken to the form you fill out to post a comment.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">DISCUSSIONS:</span> Basically, a series of message boards. The is different than all the other pages of the site where you can contribute your thoughts. That's because, on the discussion boards, users choose their own topics and the conversations that come from those topics are all in one place and can be read long after the discussion ends.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">RANTS DISCUSSION BOARD:</span> I created the 'Rants' message board as a way for users to get all their troubling thoughts off of their chests--when trying to recover from Mental Illness, or even while you're in the thick of it, there is the natural tendency to bottle up a lot of emotions. At some point, you can't contain your troubling thoughts that have been piling up in your mind anymore. A lot of the time, there isn't someone who you can talk to and let out all the thoughts you've been keeping in. Or maybe there are people in your life that are making things even worse for you but for some reason or another, you can't tell them exactly how much more difficult they are making your life for fear of getting too angry. The RANTS board is a place where you can let it all out--and I have decided that no user account is necessary to make a post on the RANTS board... just say everything you can't say in your real life. Other users can reply to your rant and maybe someone will be able to help you through it. (to post a reply to a RANT, you must have a user account).<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">FAMILY PAGE: </span>This is a page where family members (or friends) can offer their advice on how they have dealt with someone close to them who has mental illness. This is different than the FAMILY Discussion board, because the FAMILY PAGE is made up of pieces advice with minimal back-and-forth between users whereas the Family Discussion Board is intended for ongoing conversations. Basically, the FAMILY PAGE is made up of words of advice, whereas the Family Discussion board is made up of topics that a user who is close to someone with Mental Illness can <em>ask for advice </em>and be more specific about their situation.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">NEWSLETTERS: </span>Read the page where I discuss the value of Newsletters and why they are under-rated. Please post any newsletters or magazines that you subscribe to, a description of it (optional), and provide information on how someone can subscribe to the newsletter or magazine.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">HOSTED NEWSLETTERS: </span>This is a feature of the site where you can create your own Newsletter. Several people can contribute to the same newsletter. All you need to do is fill out a simple form and the site puts it all together for you in a Newsletter Format--the created Newsletter looks like a stand alone page--the side bar, top logo and the whole design of mymindsnotright.com is not shown in a created Newsletter. Additionally, a page is automatically generated that lists links to all of the old issues of your newsletter, so people can 'catch up.' (You can find the hosted newsletter page by going to the newsletter page. Click "read more" to be taken to the page that explains what a Hosted Newsletter is in more detail. Click "view example" at the top of that page to see what a created newsletter looks like).<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">FEEDBACK ON SUPPORT GROUPS</span>: If you go to the support group page (by clicking the 'support group' link on the sidebar), there is a 'survey' you can fill out (no user account required) where you can share your thoughts on the idea of support groups--whether or not you have ever been to one. Their is a page for all of the feedback for each question, so people who are part of a support group, people who lead a support group, or people who are starting a support group can read about how to make their support group better. (Click the Support Group link on the side bar to be taken to this page).<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">SUPPORT GROUP DATABASE</span>: NAMI has a huge database of support groups around the country. That's great, but I have heard more than a few bad things about NAMI support groups (although, I have no doubt there are plenty of great ones) but I decided to create a database here anyways. I made that decision because both the leader of my support group and myself have a very different kind of philosophy about what makes a support group successful than NAMI does. Even if you've already listed your group on NAMI, list it here as well. That's because, if you add your support group to this site's database, it implies that you have read some of my blogs about support groups and/or have read the feedback about support groups on this page. (Click the Support Group link on the side bar--you do need a user account to list your support group)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">DOCTOR'S WORDS:</span> This will be a series of question and answer interviews with doctors. You can type in a question that I will ask the next doctor I interview. (no user account is necessary to submit a question to be asked).<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">TESTIMONIALS:</span> This is where you can type your story about your experience with Mental Illness. (click "Testimonials" on the side bar)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">LITTLE VICTORIES:</span> One of the things that leads to a successful recovery is the ability to notice the little things in your day-to-day life that make you feel good about yourself. These can often be tiny and seemingly insignificant, but as you train yourself to see enough of them, they add up and can make a huge difference in your happiness and the way you see the world and the people you know in it. Post the little victories you have noticed in your life so those who are <em>not</em> at the stage where they can recognize the 'little victories' themselves can get some ideas about what they should be looking for (no user account necessary to post a little victory. Click the 'little victories' link in the sidebar)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">SEVEN THINGS I'VE LEARNED</span>: Why seven? No reason, really--except for the fact that when you need to come up with a certain number of things you've learned, you might have to force yourself to think a little deeper in order to discover more things you've learned... things you might not have thought about if it was "Three things I've learned" instead of seven. You'd be surprised how much wisdom people have in them without knowing it. (Click the 'Seven Things I've Learned' in the sidebar)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">LYRICS / MUSIC / POETRY:</span> This is where you can post some songs or poems that have helped you or someone close to you deal with Mental Illness. Post the lyrics / music / poetry and write your thoughts on the reasons why a song or poem helped you.<br>
<br>
<span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">ALSO:</span> When filling out the form to post lyrics or poems, there is a drop-down menu with the options: "Song," "Poem," "My Song," "My Poem." So, obviously, if you write songs or poems, you should definitely post them on the page. (Click 'Lyrics / Music / Poetry' on the side bar, then click the "Add Poem, Lyrics or Songs" link to be taken to the form where you can add songs/poems).<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">BOOKS: </span>Post your reviews of books you have read about Mental Illness--all kinds of books (self help, memoir, informational etc). There are tons of books out there about Mental Illness, and we can't buy them all, we don't have the time to read them all, and we certainly don't want to pay for a book only to get nothing out of it. Post reviews of the books that you have responded to... also, its just as helpful to post reviews of books you hated and thought were a waste of time--save others some disappointment and money. (click the "Books" link in the sidebar, then click "Post Book Review" to be taken to the book review form).<br>
<br>
</li>
<li class="bloguserandwho"><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">WHEN DID YOU KNOW:</span> A lot of people aren't sure whether or not they have a Mental Illness. Post your story of when and how you realized that, 'yes, I do have Mental Illness.' This is a more important part of the site than you may realize: too many people realize they have Mental Illness only after something goes seriously wrong. Hopefully your contribution will convince someone to seek help before its too late and they find out the hard way.<br>

<li><span class="FeaturedBlogListHeader">CHATROOM:</span><span class="bloguserandwho"> Self explanatory, except for one feature: You can set up a certain time and topic for users to meet in the chatroom and have an online support group of sorts.</span><br>

Dreamweaver 8 Behaviors for pop-up menu
I am a novice user of Dreamweaver 8. I created a site using
pop-up Behaviors for a dropdown navigation bar. I've read about a
lot of problems others are having, but part of my problem I have
not been able to locate anywhere.
After I created my template and want to save changes to the
template and update the files based on this template, I go thru a
series of JavaScript errors. It never updates any files in the end
and sometimes shuts down the program. An example of ONE of the
error messages is:
At line 1654 of file "C:\Program Files\Macromedia/Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\Behaviors\Actions\Show Pop-up Menu.js": The
function saveDocument() is currently unavailable.
The more pages attached, the more error messages I get....
all are .js errors.
The other problem is the links from the pop-up. I've double
checked them in the behavior pop-up menu... they appear to be
correct and sometimes work, but not all the time.
Everything I read says that I should create the navigation
with pop-ups (drop down menus) in Fireworks. Is Dreamweaver that
unreliable that this can't be done within itself?
If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong to receive these
errors and how to correct my links so they are reliable, I would
very much appreciate it. I have recreated this site 6 times and the
errors are consistent.

You read about all these problems, yet you pressed ahead and
used them? Why?
DW's Pop-up menus are incompatible with DW's templates.
Embarrassingly sad,
but true.
Did you read about and investigate any of the many
alternatives posted?

Preloader Image Script and Pop-Up Window Behavior
Hello --
My client's referring site --
www.moscaritolo.com/originals.htm. Please note: I am not a
programmer, but more of a designer and don't possess the skills of
writing code so in the development of this site for my client, I
decided to use this preloadslider -
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/preloadslide.htm
- by Jason Moon to display the images. So far, I really like it and
so does my client.
However, I now have a problem with the pop-up window behavior
for the triptych image on the originals.htm page. When you hit the
triptych pop-up behavior, the preloader stops working on the main
page and (#) stays in the address bar even when you've closed the
pop-up window for the triptypch image. Next, I tried just making
the word triptych a standard link to a new htm page and using the
back button on the browser and STILL, the preloader will not work
properly..? Any ideas..?
Textplease code sample ? demo code is enough to try
with.This has nothing to do with samples. You should know
which encodings you use. You decalre it in the HTML
i have not mentioned encoding in the HTML.
by html encoding , i think you mean this (bold letter)
// created by dreamweaver 2004
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>if you mean that...NO, I DID NOT USE that thing in my JSP. i deleted that.
and XML headers. XML encoding, i have this at the start of XML....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
// XML data
Java, if nothing else is said, uses
UTF16.
in my form i have method="post".And what do you receive? What does "corrupted" mean?
Not well-formed? Garbage characters? Truncated?error message: [STDOUT] xmlStringelectric.xml.ParseException: java.io.IOException: could not find 59 line 1, char 46682:
NO, i dont blame my parser. if i provide the XML seperately, then my parser works fine.
but when i send the XML via JSP to the parser it does not work.
that means sending of XML is making some trouble. -
RoboHelp suddenly no longer recognizes project images
I am having major problems with project images, and am unable
to find a workaround. The images are initailly recognized by
RoboHelp, then mysteriously become urecognized. I reinserted all of
the images, all was well for a while, and then the project
suddently does not reconize them again. It just happend for a third
time.
I have read through many posts describing problems users have
with images, but it did not help my situation:
-- I understand that there is inconsistent behavior in
RoboHelp if images are pasted into topics rather than via the
<b>Insert > Image</b> menu item. I am inserting them
via Insert > Image menu.
-- I also read that there can be display issues based on the
tool that was used to capture an image. I use SnagIT version 8 for
all captures. My issue is not with display, but of "some" of the
files disappearing from the project list.
-- I also read some posts suggesting that all images be
placed in the project root to avoid porblems. That is not a viable
solution for me -- it is a very large project with several hundred
images -- I could not effectively manage the images if I could not
organize them in folders.
Here is what I am seing:
-- After I insert the images (using Insert > Image) the
names of the images appear in the topics and are listed in the
Project View OK.
-- I continue with general project development, and
periodically generate output and run reports to check for project
health, including Missing References and Unused Files. I notice
that some of the images that were previously OK show up in the
Unused File report.. I then look in the Project tab, and see that
the Unused images are no longer included in the tree.
-- I then open the topics and see that the images are still
there in the topics, and I can see them in WYIWYG and in preview
mode.
-- I re-insert and the cycle repeats.
I am totally stuck and am continuously losing work.
I would very much appreciate help resolving this isue.
Thank you in advance.
JackieHi Rick.
How can I recreate the CPD file? Do they often become
corrupt?
I just dicovered something this makes this problem even
weirder, and further makes it seem like corruption...
I copied the entire project structure to another directory,
opened it in RoboHelp, and did a project rename. (Hoping this would
perhaps 'clear' the project corruption.) I then ran the Unused
Files report, and got a totally different result than when I run
the report in the original. Actually, even more files appear on the
report in the renamed project. Then, I had someone else open the
project, and they see different results when they run the report
from their machine. -
Issue in Pop-up behaviour within Gantt chart
We use Jdeveloper 11.1.2.0 in creating multiple type of applications. We are stuck with one issue in Pop-up behavior in Gantt chart and needed your help. Any help in this will be highly appreciated. It seems that this was the known issue in 11.1.1.4 but not sure if this is resolved in current release of 11.1.2.0.
Jdev Version: 11.1.2.0
Control Used: Panel Tabbed, Gantt Chart (Project), ADF Popups and Dialog
Scenario: We are having Panel Tab. One tab is having Gantt chart whereas second tab is having read-only Table. Gantt chart has pop-up window (Along with Dialog), which opens up on hovering one of the column.
Issue: Gantt Chart and Popup works fine but pop-up gives error (Region not valid) when we click on second Tab and come back to the Gantt chart tab. Screenshots are attached for your reference.
PS: I can see know issue at this link but did not see this in current release known issues.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/relnotes-14-jan-11-261400.html#dvt2
Many Thanks.
Regards,
Sachin GOK, I did't realise you were using adf faces.
Quoting the Oracle WebCenter Framework documentation:
"17.5.2.3 Oracle ADF Faces Guidelines
The Oracle ADF faces guidelines are as follows:
* Oracle ADF Faces client side implementation is not supported. One weakness of JSR 168 and WSRP 1.0 is that they do not account for portlets using client-side programming techniques, such as Ajax or hidden frames, for partial page rendering. As a result, all Oracle ADF Faces facilities that rely on client-side programming techniques do not work. These facilities include the following:
o Oracle ADF Faces partial page refresh (PPR) facility
o The client-rendered aspect of Oracle ADF Faces rich client components
o Oracle ADF popups, <af:popup>, which fail to work because of their reliance on the PPR facility
o The Oracle ADF Faces SelectText, SelectDate, and SelectColor components, which use visual assist popups
To avoid breaking existing applications, the popup is disabled when used in Oracle ADF Faces pages exposed as a portlet. Thus, functionally speaking, these components are equivalent to InputText."
So guess that just won't work. -
Hi Everybody,
As a part of my work, I need to show glossary as pop-up in
the robohelp project. Now, I tried with Glossary Hot-Spot wizard in
RoboHelp 7.0, but it is expanding the glossary content and its not
showing as a pop-up. Pls let me know, if anybody knows how to fix
this issue.
Help will be highly appreciated.

Behaviors and CSS misbehaving on library items
I've created a site that uses behaviors to create a NAV with
Pop-up menus. There are several categories and each category has
several products in it. The Categories and the products change so I
wanted to create a LIBRARY item out of the NAVmenu. The problem is
when the Library Item NAVmenu is created all the Pop-up behaviors
disappear. This would mean I have to re-input the Pop-ups a zillion
times. Also the CSS screws up. Any Ideas?This is the code from a Library item?
Try this - create a new page, and drop an image on the page.
With the image
selected, use MODIFY | Library > Add Object to Library.
Name the Library
item you have just created, and then open it in DW. Look at
the code. You
should see -
1. No doctype
2. No <html>, <head>, </head>,
<body>, </body>, or </html> tag
3. Probably all you will see is something like this -
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<img src="..." width="..." height="...">
That says it all. The Library item is a simple code fragment
that will be
inserted within another page's code.
Now - if you are determined to stick with the FW pop-up
menus, you will
have to do some work to make a Library item. You will have to
externalize
the javsacript for the menus, and link to that external js
file in each page
of your site. Then you will have to remake your Library item
so that it
only contains the triggering images for the menu. It can be
done - see here
where I have done it -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/library4d.html
You will see several things as you look at that page. The
first is that
large chunk of javascript in the scrollable text area above
the menu -
that's the code that is written dynamically to each page as
it loads, and
it's one of the reasons why pages with these menus are
usually sluggish.
Also, if you look at the code on the page, you will see where
the library
item begins and ends. That's all of the code you should see
in the *.lbi
file. Finally, you will see how I have linked to the external
javascript
files to make this work.
Here's the tragedy here - you used these pop-ups because you
didn't know how
to do them yourself. Now look at the mess you are in....

How do I eliminate the automatic pop-up created when using the Rectangle Tool?
For some odd reason, Acrobat 9 is now adding a pop-up every time I use the Rectangle Tool. I am using the Rectangle Tool merely to draw a box around text but I do NOT want there to be an associated pop-up. Is there a way to change it so the pop-up will not be automatically created and all I will get is the rectangle itself?
Thanks for your help!
JimSomething to try -
Open Acrobat's Preferences. Select the Commenting category. The second (middle) pane has Pop-Up Open Behavior configuration settings. Playing with what is or is not ticked may provide the desired pop-up behavior.
Be well... -
IE Pop-up upon Logon - disable?
I am building a RDS Session Host farm on a closed network. Upon logon I get an IE popup. I have disabled the customization wizard via GPO and still cant find the registry or GPO setting to disable this browser popup. This happens every time for every user.
How do I disable this?
Thanks!Hi Brandon,
Based on your description, we can try enabling the pop-up blocker. The path for this setting is:
Users Configuration/Computer Configuration ->Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Security Page->
Intranet Zone/Internet Zone/Local Machine Zone/Restricted Sites Zone/Trusted Sites Zone
We can configure the setting as follows:
This will turn on pop-up blocker, which will make most unwanted pop-up windows prevented from appearing.
Besides, we may also need to enable the following settings:
Users Configuration/Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components-> Internet Explorer:
Turn off managing Pop-up allow List
Turn off managing Pop-up filter list
Turn off Pop-up management
Doing so will disable users from configuring pop-up behavior.
Best regards,
Frank Shen -
Fixed Resolution And Text Behaviors
Ok, so like a good student I have been reading up on all the benefits of Fixed Resolution and what a GPU lifesaver it is. However, is it possible to apply the fixed resolution to a text behavior? I've got two words that have the Hot Pop Flash behavior on them in my project. The parent layer has a fixed resolution of 720 x 480, but this seems to have no effect on my text behavior. I am still getting a cropping message because I have exceeded my 2048 canvas limit. Is there anything I can do? Am I missing something completely inane?
Anyone??

Hello,
I'm having a difficult time using Dreamweaver MX to create
text links which open new browser windows to external urls. I have
had success using the built-in scripting to perform this function
with images, however not so with text. What I did was simply
highlight and create a text link, then I added the behavior to open
new browser window. I next edited the code changing the a href to
the http web address.
This works fine in IE, however in Mozilla I get the source
code for the external web site in the new broswer window.
Does anyone have a clue what I need to do?
Here's the source code: <a href="javascript:;"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('
http://www.optimalcooling.com','','toolbar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=800,heig ht=600')">

Cannot Import Graphics Into Project
I am experiencing some very odd behavior in RoboHelp 9 project. When I attempt to import/insert a graphic into a topic, I receive the message:
Unable to rename file, "image.gif".
The file contains illegal characters.
First of all, I am NOT trying to rename the graphic. Secondly, the file name image.gif does not contain illegal characters. This happens for any graphic I attempt to import/insert into the project. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.Hi there
If you click File > Rename Project (don't worry, we aren't really going to rename the project) what do you see at the bottom of the dialog where it shows the path?
Just click Cancel to dismiss the dialog.
Cheers... Rick -
Missing Browse Sequences in HTML Help
Problem
Browse sequences in our Microsoft HTML help (.CHMs) are missing after we upgraded from RoboHelp x5 (running WinXP Pro) to RoboHelp 9 (running Win7, 64-bit).
Background
We've been using RoboHelp x5 and RoboSource Control 2.3 version control for several years. Prior to 2012, our RoboSource Control server machine was a WinXP Pro VM session, while our 3 RoboHelp/RoboSource Control client (author) machines were physical WinXP Pro machines.
After the first of this year, our 3 client machines were replaced with Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit physical machines. In order to continue running RoboHelp x5, we created a Windows XP Pro virtual machine on each client machine; Robohelp x5 and the RoboSource Control 2.3 client software were then installed and run from the WinXP VM environment. Browse sequences were included in the many (at least 4 per month) CHMs that we compiled/generated during the several months that we ran in this environment without any issues.
We just (over the past few weeks) upgraded to Adobe's Technical Communication Suite 3.5 (RoboHelp HTML 9 and RoboSource Control 3.1). A new Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit VM was created for the RoboSource Control server installation, and we simply installed the RoboHelp 9 and RoboSource Control 3.1 client software directly on our 3 Windows 7 client machines. We did not remove the VM sessions from the client machines, but we don't run them either.
Since we upgraded RoboHelp to version 9 (which is also to say, started running RoboHelp in a true Windows 7 64-bit environment), none of our browse sequences appear when we compile/generate a .CHM in RoboHelp 9 and then launch the .CHM from anywhere OTHER THAN within the RoboHelp HTML application. If we launch the Help from within RoboHelp, using either the Generate Primary Layout function (and then view result) or the View Primary Layout function (HTML Help is our primary layout), the browse sequences appear and function properly.
I've already researched (including this forum and all the previous posts on this issue) and run tests, attempting to identify the cause and/or resolve the issue. The actual tests and results are listed after the next section (which provides technical details on what I believed to be the critical aspects of this issue within our environment; perhaps someone will spot something regarding the version of the HHActiveX.dll or a path/value for one of the registry settings).
Environment Technical Details
RoboHelp 9/RoboSource Control 3.1 Server
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit, SP1
RoboHelp Programs:
MS SQL Server Express 2005

Troubleshooting Tests and Results
Test 1: Ran command line: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences PRESENT.
Test 2: Ran command line: C:\Windows\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 3: Ran command line: C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-htmlhelp_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_24 4ae8599e6d81bb\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 4: Ran command line: C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-htmlhelp_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_2e 9f92abd2ce43b6\HH.exe C:\Documents\DSISWHelp\DSISWHelp.chm
Result: Browse sequences PRESENT.
Test 5: Deleted HHP, CPD, and created new HTML Help SSL definition. Opened project, compiled with new SSL, opened CHM from Windows Explorer via double-click.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 6: RoboHelp install again. Didn't see any "repair" options, so I ran the install over the existing one. Then deleted HHP, CPD, and created new HTML SSL definition. Compiled. Opened the CHM from Windows Explorer via double-click.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 7: Edited the browse sequences to see if that would trigger or set a flag. Note: I already compared the "flags" (it's actually a number sequence) in the RHwnd.apj file (via Notepad) to the "flags" in the RHwnd.apj file. While I don't know which one represents browse sequence enabling, the number sequences were identical. Note: I compared RHwnd.apj files pre- and post-Browse Sequence enabling (with no other changes), but the flag values were completely different (it's not a simple 0/1 flag).
Result: N/A
Test 8: I copied older CHMs that were generated/compiled in RoboHelp x5 over to my local, Window 7 Enterprise, 64-bit, SP1, machine. Launched the CHMs from Windows Explorer by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 9: I browsed over our network (via Windows Explorer) to our old RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server, and launched older CHMs that were generated/compiled in RoboHelp x5 and still sitting on that machine, by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 10: I logged on (via RDS) to our old RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server (WinXP), and launched older CHMs that were created (and never upgraded) in RHx5 by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences PRESENT.
Test 11: I logged on (via RDS) to our old RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server (WinXP), opened Windows Explorer on that machine, browsed over the network to our new RoboHelp 9/RoboSource Control 3.1 server (Win7), and then launched new CHMs that were generated/compiled in RoboHelp 9 by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
Test 12: I logged on (via RDS) to our older RoboHelp x5/RoboSource Control 2.3 server (WinXP), copied CHMs that were generated/compiled on our new RoboHelp 9/RoboSource Control 3.1 server (Win7) in RoboHelp 9 over to the WinXP machine, and then launched them by double-clicking on them.
Result: Browse sequences ABSENT.
CONCLUSIONS
The machine you are logged on to matters more than where the CHM resides (that is, locally or on another networked machine), or even the version of RoboHelp that it was compiled/generated in (although as my next conclusion states, this last one does appear to matter).
Supporting evidence: CHMs that were compiled/generated in RoboHelp x5 only display browse sequences when they are launched (via double-click) locally from a WinXP machine. Browse sequences are absent when they're launched from a Win7 machine.
The version of RoboHelp that the CHM was compiled in matters.
Supporting evidence: Browse sequences in RoboHelp 9 generated/compiled CHMs do not appear, even when the CHMs reside on a WinXP machine. Is HHActiveX.dll somehow incorporated into the generate/compile process?
Either HH.exe or HHActiveX.dll, or both, matter.
Supporting evidence: Browse sequences appear in RoboHelp 9 generated/compiled CHMs on a Win7 machine when I launch the CHM from a command line, specifying which HH.exe to use.
Is this a function of the HH.exe (there are multiple instances of HH.exe on my Win7 machine, but the command line solution doesn't work for all of them; plus, each files seems to be identical/the same version), or
is it a function of HHActiveX.dll (does HHActiveX.dll registration control which HH.exe works, which would explain why some of HH.exe's don't work from a command line; the assumption here, then, is that when I double-click a CHM, the default HH.exe that is used isn't the one that's registered)?Hello again
Hopefully Colum won't mind my offering a few answers here and there,

Thanks for the response, Rick. I appreciate the feedback.
A few follow-up questions...
Can you confirm that neither the version of HH.exe, nor its file path matter?
Unsure what you mean by the version of HH.exe mattering. If you double-click a CHM file on a 64 bit Windows system, it appears that it automatically opens the 64 bit version of HH.exe. Short of having an installation routine of some sort that reconfigures the operating system to open the 32 bit version instead, I can't fathom a way that you would be able to influnce the behavior. Obviously, application developers are able to force this choice. I say that because after you compile and choose to View Result, RoboHelp opens the 32 bit version of the CHM viewer. Now whether this is behavior that is designed by the application developer or whether it's standard Windows behavior with RoboHelp being a 32 bit application is beyond me. Only Adobe can really say for sure what is going on.
How do I identify/verify that an instance of HHActiveX.dll is the 32-bit version?
How do I identify/verify that an instance of HHActiveX.dll is the 64-bit version?
I'm not sure there is a way. At least I'm not knowing a way. I think the best you can do is supply both versions and tell your installation team to register both. Then it shouldn't matter, no?
Where can I obtain the 64-bit version of HHActiveX.dll?Based on my research, it appears that C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\Redist on our 64-bit machines would be one such location. Can you verify this?
I think Colum answered that.
Where should the 64-bit version of HHActiveX.dll that I subsequently register, reside (i.e., file path)?
Wherever you (or more precisely your installation team) decide to place it.
Likely you will think that answer is a bit snarky. But it's not intended to be that way. I'm just being honest. That's why you have to register it with Windows. The process of registering the DLL tells Windows where it is and how to work with it.
Should I replace all 32-bit instances of HHActiveX.dll on our 64-bit machines?
I've never encountered a need to replace versions. But again, likely only Adobe can answer that one with a straight face.
Assume I successfully register the 64-bit version of HHActiveX.dll. If our primary layout in RoboHelp HTML is HTML Help and I invoke the Generate Primary Layout function (and view result) or View Primary Layout function in RoboHelp HTML (i.e., I launch a .CHM from within RoboHelp HTML), will RoboHelp HTML re-register the 32-bit version of HHActiveX.dll? And if this is the case, does that mean I'll have to go back and re-register the 64-bit version each time I use either of those functions?
Launching the file does nothing to register the dll. That's why there is a separate process. The act of registering should be a one off. I believe what happens is that the Windows Registry is modified with information that HH.exe (64 bit or 32 bit) uses to determine what to do with the dll(s). Again, I'm not an application developer nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I can't claim to be one.
I believe that once you get both dlls properly registered, it won't matter if you launch the 64 bit or the 32 bit version of HH.exe. The Browse Sequence window should then show. (Incidentally, the same dll also manages behavior of the Glossary tab functionality in a CHM)
What happens in a mixed (32-bit/64-bit) environment?
Our in-house network contains a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit machines.
We post a .CHM (with browse sequences) to a standalone PC (no RoboHelp applications are installed on this particular PC) on our in-house network.
All the 32-bit and 64-bit machines on the network can access this single .CHM file via a shortcut.
Does the existence and registration of HHActiveX.dll matter for just the PC hosting the .CHM, just the PCs accessing the .CHM, or all PCs? And which versions of HHActiveX.dll need to be registered for which machines?
Yeah, good luck with that. Years ago, Microsoft modified the behavior of CHM content to disallow working that way. CHMs are intended to be copied to *EACH PC* using it. There are ways to modify the Windows Registry to allow CHM to still work that way, but it's something your IT staff have to manage. And by modifying things to allow it, you have to relax security and that makes a machine more vulnerable to attacks down the road. Years later, Peter Grainge still reports that his page on this is still among the most often visited. Click here to visit Peter's page.
Hope I managed to satisfactorily answer your "few" other questions. I tried... LOL

PDF popup, in FireFox, without being prompted
Hello, I am using Windows XP Pro, SP3, fully patched and updated. My Adobe Reader is version 9.5.0. I am currently using FireFox 3.6.25, but this problem has been affecting my computer for the last year and a half, and happens with newer versions of FireFox, up to and including version 8. I downloaded a PDF file of an air compressor users manual and saved a copy to a folder on my desktop (where I store all of my PDF files).
Now, whenever my FireFox browser is up and running, this PDF file will pop up every three hours, or so. It will initially pop up about ten minutes after the browser is started, and then about three hours after I close the reader program. It, neither the file, nor Adobe Reader, asks for permission to run, the PDF file, just comes up fully formed and running in Reader.
I have search in my Reader preferences/options/setting and can’t find any setting, control, action, button or choice that allows me to stop this pop up behavior. I can move the file to another location on my “c” drive, move it to another hard drive altogether, or even rename it, all to no avail, the popup behavior remains.
Is this a Adobe “problem”, or setting, a FireFox problem (as it only happens when the FireFox browser is running), or something else I am not aware off? Thanks for any help, in advance!!Hello Ankit, and thanks for help:
This behavior only happens with this one PDF, no others, and I have hundreds saved to the same folder.
Speak of the devil, as I was typing the first sentence of this email, it popped up. My FireFox browser is set to start when I boot my computer, and that happened about ten minutes ago.
I rarely use IE and never use any other browser. When I do use IE it is only for those websites that still don't function properly with FireFox, and I generally get there via a FireFox add-on that opens a version of IE within the FireFox browser. Also on rare occasions, I will open IE directly to view my daughters school grades, again because that website doesn't handle FireFox properly. In any case, whenever I use IE, I only keep that tab or browser running for a very short period of time, just long enough to capture my data needs, generally less than five minutes, then shut it down,........ But, I don't recall this PDF behavior ever happening with the IE usage.
Here are the PDF's Document Properties:

Tell me about, and how to do it:
If I understand your request, it means remotely accessing my computer's drives to observe the PDF's behavior, program settings and preferences, registery settings, etc. I am not comfortable doing that, as my computer has a large amount of proprietary business information and personal financial information. If there is information I can pass on to you manually, or if I can contact you when the behavior happens, that would be OK.
Thanks again for your help.

When reversing speed on clip back to 100% my sound does not change
I speed up a section of video clip to 150% but when I converted it back to 100% the sound stayed at 150%. Why is this? Also is it easy to separate sound tracks from video tracks? Sorry I am new to FCP and have lots to learn.
