Show Navigation pane link in topics disappears

Question

When I click on a help link the topic with the navigation
pane link is shortly displayed and is then replaced with the topic
and the TOC in the left pane. I want to display the topic with the
navigation pane link.

Answer 1

Clarification of the WebHelp generation process seems to be
called for.
The .htm file that appears in the "Select Output Folder and
Start Page" field at the top of the first "WebHelp General -
WebHelp" dialog is the file in which RH will place all the frameset
and browser information needed to display the three frames (toolbar
pane, left-hand TOC/Index/Search navigation pane, and right-hand
topic pane). (The "Default Topic" field, in the same dialog, tells
RH which actual content page/topic to display when that start page
is launched.)
The direct launching of any other topic (you double clicking
the filename or R&D calling it in the application) will result
in one topic pane being displayed for that topic, with the "Show"
button provided to switch over to the three-pane frameset.
However, launching a specific topic
indirectly through the start page will display that page
with the three-pane format. The call from the application would
then be StartPage.htm#DestinationPage.htm. If you want to open the
same topic at a prearranged bookmark, the call would be
StartPage.htm#DestinationPage.htm#BookmarkSection.
Good luck,
