TOC is Sometimes NOT Displayed

I'm working with RH 5/WebHelp & occassionally the TOC is
not displayed. If the output (compiled Help project) is closed
& re-opened, the TOC does appear. Does anyone know why this
happens?

Assuming you have installed the X5.02 upgrade, all I can
suggest is upgrading to RH 7.

Come to think of it, Peter's site suggests some patches you
could install, and which may help. Several of us contributed to
those pieces, included in his topic on Browsers. Go to

    Hi,
    You can open the TOC from the Project Manager pod. Open that one and open the TOC you want to use.

  • Why is the left hand window and bar with the buttons for TOC/Search/Glossary not displaying in one client location?

    Greetings all:
    I have more years of experience with RoboHelp than I want to admit, but I have never run into this before. I have a published RoboHelp 9 project for an overseas client that displays exactly as it should when the published version is viewed by myself or another RoboHelp developer (not located where I am). However; the users at 1 of 2 two client sites do not see the left hand TOC window or the bar above the project with the buttons (the other site does see it). The users at both sites are using Internet Explorer 9, and I have been told there is no difference in their security set-up. I suspect that at the site where it is not displaying there is a security setting that is throwing it off, but I am not sure what to have them look for. Anyone have any ideas?
    W. Keith

    Do they not simply see the bar or is it empty? In the first situation, it seems they are opening the topic directly instead of via the start file.
    What is the URL the users are using on both the locations? And do the users have a hyperlink 'Show' at the top of the topics?
    Kind regards,
    Willam

  • Webhelp TOC and Contents not displayed in Google Chrome

    Hello All,
    I recently tried to view webhelp (generated using Robohelp 7.0) in Google chrome. But chrome displays only the first topic of the web help and does not display the TOC of the help. Can any one please help me in why this is happening.
    PS: I am viewing the online help from a server and not from local folder. When viewed from within local folder it doesn't display any info.

  • TOC Topic content not displayed in WYSIWYG Editor

    I use RoboHelp X5. When I click a topic in the TOC pane I
    expect to see its contents displayed in the WYSIWYG Editor. Instead
    the WYSIWYG pane is grey and the TrueCode pane is blank with a
    cursor flashing on the upper left corner!
    I searched for some similar issue on this forum and could not
    find it. However, I did gather that I could use another editor by
    right clicking a topic when in the Project tab and selecting one of
    5-6 editors. I tried RoboHelp TrueCode and was amazed and relieved
    to see the code and content for the topic displayed in the TrueCode
    pane...so I went a step further and tried the WYSIWYG editor and
    wonder of wonders, the topic content was displayed.
    Can someone please tell me what is going on? Should I
    reinstall RoboHelp X5? Why does the topic content not display when
    I click the topic from the TOC tab?

    Welcome to the forum.
    There have been posts about this but maybe your forum search
    history is not set to go back far enough.
    Rather than right click and selecting RH True Code, at the
    bottom of the editing pane there is a true code tab which will
    quickly enable you to see your code is still safe. That said, if
    you then click WYSIWYG, you don't get the view restored, usually.
    Maybe your way has an advantage.
    It's one of those things that happens now and again. I don't
    think reinstalling will help. I have had it happen several times in
    a day and then you go months with it working just fine.
    I don't believe anyone has ever lost any data. At worst you
    just have to close RH and reopen it.
    For what it is worth, I haven't seen this happen in RH7.

  • TOC/Search window not displayed in WebHelp Pro output

    Robohelp10, WebHelp Pro -
    I've got what I have to think is pretty fundamental question: When I generate my WebHelp Pro project, everything works perfectly until I move the contents of the output folder to a network drive for viewing. When the default topic opens, rather than displaying the TOC/Search window on the left, I'm getting a link that says "Show". Click that link, and the TOC opens right up.
    I would like to have the TOC displayed on that initial view, without requiring users to click the "Show" link.
    Again, when I view the results of the output on my local drive, the TOC is displayed. The obvious problem is, the generated help needs to reside on a network drive to be accessed by our users...
    PS: The project is on my local drive, only the contents of the output folder are being moved to the network drive. Also, everything other than the TOC display seems to be working fine.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Larry, Rick has solved your conditional build issue. However, do check to make sure you have all the updates installed for RoboHelp 10.
    WebHelp issues in RoboHelp versions 10 and 11
    I notice you are using IE. Does the Show link occur with Chrome or Firefox as well?
    Meanwhile, I'm still suspect that you are not opening the correct "default" start page file to launch the WebHelp and that's why you're getting that "Show" link. This is "tell-tale" that you are opening the default topic file instead of the default Start Page. By chance have you somehow named your "default topic", index.html? If so, this is not correct.

  • TOC not displayed

    When the webhelp zip file is deployed to a local filesystem,
    we can navigate the help content with no problem. However, when we
    deploy the content to a subfolder within the application, the TOC
    navigation does not display. (At the bottom of the browser there is
    a Javascript error. )
    We have created a new "help" subfolder within the application
    that we deploy the contents into...does that extra directory level
    cause some problem within the help content? We were under the
    assumption that we can put the content at any level within the
    application. Is that not the case? (Note: In the help content
    Javascript, there are references to project paths and project
    roots...could this have any impact?)

    Hi YuliaM and welcome to our community
    When you moved the folder, are you certain you also moved or
    included all the
    Sub Folders
    that are part of your WebHelp project? These have names like
    WHDATA, WHGDATA and WHXDATA.
    Original
    Application.exe
    WebHelpStartPage.HTM
    WHDATA (folder)
    WHGDATA (folder)
    WHXDATA (folder)
    New (Incorrect)
    Application.exe
    HELP (folder)
    ** WebHelpStartPage.HTM
    WHDATA (folder)
    WHGDATA (folder)
    WHXDATA (folder)
    New (Correct)
    Application.exe
    HELP (folder)
    ** WebHelpStartPage.HTM
    ** WHDATA (folder)
    ** WHGDATA (folder)
    ** WHXDATA (folder)
    Note that the folders I mentioned are INSIDE the HELP folder.
    If you didn't take care to move these along as well, that's
    likely your issue. If you did move them, I'm a bit stumped.
    Cheers... Rick

  • My album artwork will not display correctly on my iPod Touch

    I have a 4th gen iPod Touch. Recently, I've noticed that a lot of my album artwork is displaying incorrectly in coverflow, and sometimes not at all. I can not figure out why this is happening, as the artwork displays fine in iTunes, and actually shows up in coverflow on the iPod occasionally. However, when I turn my iPod to portrait orientation, they disappear, turn upside down and perform various other acrobatic stunts.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

    How are you adding the artwork to the songs?
    You should try adding the artwork to the songs in iTunes first, not directly to the songs on the iPod (through iTunes).
    If you add artwork directly to the iPod, the artwork is sometimes not displayed when playing songs.

  • RH Window not updating / topics not displaying after repositioning

    Hi,
    I'm running RH8.0.2 on a 32-bit version of Windows 7. In the last few days I've had peculiar problems with the RH Window itself (not compiled help) not refreshing properly.
    For example, I want to compare a Word document to a help topic, so I resize the RH window and position it next to the Word document. I open several topics and do what I need to do. Now I'm done with the Word document, so I maximize the RH window again. This is when the problems start:
    The navigation along the top (including the topic tabs) does not refresh.
    If I double-click a topic in the left pane, it is sometimes not displayed on the right side, although the cursor movements indicate that RH thinks the topic is displayed. (This is hard to explain, and crazily enough I can't even get a screenshot of this to show what I mean.)
    If I reduce the window size back to its previous, smaller size, things look normal again and I can see the topic I just double-clicked. But if I want to use RH in a maximized window again, I have to close and reopen the RH project.
    Yes, these problems can be dealt with. But this has been going on for several days now (after a Windows update, perhaps?) and it's getting annoying.
    Is anybody else experiencing these problems? Is there a solution?
    Thanks
    Eileen

    Thank you for those suggestions, Peter!
    You were right - I was dragging the two windows to where I wanted them.
    I haven't yet tested your suggstions extensively (I don't spend a lot of time with RH side by side by side with other applications). However, I haven't seen the problem since I started using Windows key + arrows to position the windows.
    BTW, RH is the only application where I was having this problem.
    I will post again (or edit this post) if I come up with any new information. Even if no one else has posted about this problem, I'm betting that others are experiencing it. As I said, it's relatively easy to work around. Just annoying.
    Thanks again!

  • TOC not displaying in translated files

    Using RH8 (HTML).
    Translating English RH source files using TRADOS TagEditor.
    Translations to Chinese and Japanese have worked fine.
    In translations to European languages the TOC does not display in RH nor compiled chm.
    This appears to be caused by the use of 'alpha codes' for the extended character set. For example, an .hhc file with
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <toc version="1.0"><properties imagewidth="16" windowstyles="8388642" exwindowstyles="256"></properties>
                    <item name="Introducci&oacute;n">
                    </item>
    </toc>
    does not display.
    But one with
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <toc version="1.0"><properties imagewidth="16" windowstyles="8388642" exwindowstyles="256"></properties>
                    <item name="Introducción">
                    </item>
    </toc>
    or
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <toc version="1.0"><properties imagewidth="16" windowstyles="8388642" exwindowstyles="256"></properties>
                    <item name="Introducci&#243;n">
                    </item>
    </toc>
    does display.
    Unfortunately, on return from the translators our .hhc files are littered with 'alpha codes' for extended characters.
    Any confirmation of our suspicions and suggestions as to:
    1) How we can rectify the situation, bearing in mind that a manual replacement is not an option due to the number of files and occurrences within those files.
    2) What should have been done to stop this happening.
    would be gratefully received.

    Hi there
    And I too hope that Willam and Peter will forgive me for popping in.
    Peter told you that you need to be creating WebHelp, not WebHelp Pro as you initially stated. By reading this, I'm comiing to the conclusion that you believe you must create WebHelp Pro because you are using the RoboHelp_CSH file.
    "We don't use the Robohelp server, becuase we use the context sensitive help so we lunch the htm via the script RoboHelp_CSH.js within our own web application."
    The thing is, if you are still outputting as WebHelp Pro, you are getting a *DIFFERENT* set of output files that are coded specifically to work within the unique environment that the RoboHelp Server provides. This would explain why the calls aren't being made as expected.
    I could be wrong on this but I don't believe I am. If so, one of the others will surely set me straight. You need to generate your output as WebHelp, NOT WebHelp Pro, then publish that set of files to the server. And the RoboHelp_CSH file will happily use the new set of files. (assuming, of course, that all mappings are correctly set)
    Cheers... Rick

  • Toc does not display in FF3

    I have a webhelp that works fine on Windows Explorer but with
    FF 3 on all operating systems the toc is not displayed and the
    search does not work - has anyone got a solution for this
    problem?

    You don't say whether or not temporarily removing it
    identified the conflict. If it is, whose fault is it, Adobe's or
    the Firebug people?
    You can only report it as a bug to both and see what happens.

  • Firefox sometimes does not display my tabs along the menu bar when two or less are open - is this a bug?

    When I have less than three tabs open after having more open, Firefox does not display the tabs along the menu bar. This means I can't see tabs when I have two open. Is this a glitch?
    Note: I am aware that I can set Firefox to always show the tabs, but I do not like this setting for when I only have one tab opened.

  • Satellite A300 PSAG0A - Games Will Not Display in Full Screen Size

    I have a large number of games installed on my computer. At least 90% of them will not display in full screen size but display in a small window with a large amount of black screen surrounding the window. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. However, I do not think it has anything to do with Windows as my husband runs the same games on his Toshiba Satellite L300, running exactly the same version of windows, and they all display in full screen size.
    Altering the screen resolution makes no difference. And, of course, I do select the full screen option in the games.
    Also, sometimes when I have been playing a game and then closed it I find that my desktop picture has shrunk to the smaller size - the same size as the window in which the game was displayed when I was playing it.
    The games work fine in every other way, it is only this small screen size which is driving me nuts.
    I hope that someone can help me with this!!

    Yes, as far as I can tell I have the latest driver. But, even this is confusing to me because....
    My graphics media accelerator is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. The installed driver version is 7.14.10.1329. The release date for this is 2007-09-13, as far as I can tell from web searches.
    However, on the Toshiba website for driver downloads, the available driver version is 8.2.0.1012 PV. The date is 2006-12-28. I have downloaded this driver and attempted to install it. I get the message that it has been installed but, after rebooting and checking the installed driver version is still 7.14.10.1329.
    Perhaps, the 8.2.0.1012 PV version does not actually install because it is older than the currently installed version. I would have thought that the driver version with the higher number would be the newer one, but perhaps this is not the case as the dates do not seem to support this theory.
    So now I ask myself, firstly, if the driver available for download on the Toshiba website is not the newest one, then why is it there?
    Secondly, if it is the newest one then why will it not install on my computer?

  • Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks

    Chinese characters are not displayed in the Firefox bookmarks. The name looks like e.g. "??????? ???? cn.nytimes.com"
    Chinese character of the site name is displayed ok in the head of the browser window and there is no problem reading chinese web content. I use Firefox Portable 11 /English from portableapps.com in Windows XP.
    I googled and got some tips:
    1) Set your browser to recognise Chinese language internet sites.
    Windows users: Under "Tools - Options" on your browser's menu-bar add Chinese to the languages list.
    - I did this.
    2) Set your browser's "Character Set" or "Encoding" to UTF-8 (sometimes also called Universal Alphabet or Unicode).
    Encoding settings can be changed under the "View" option in your browser's menu-bar.
    - It was already set to UTF-8.
    3) Windows users: If Chinese text still does not display correctly, East Asian language support may need to be enabled.
    - This has been done when I installed Windows.
    I still don't get any Chinese fonts in the bookmark names. I can edit the bookmark name with chinese characters and then save the bookmark, it works fine. But why does not Firefox recognize the characters when saving bookmarks? Help is appreciated.

    No I didn't change anything deep beneath the hood. My problem didn't apply to the URL, but to the name of the link or bookmark header or whatever you would like to call it. (When hitting Ctrl + D there is a Name field). I only got ???????? instead of chinese characters in the name. Also for e.g. www.cntv.cn ...but maybe all China is not in the whitelist either. ;-) But anyway, this was not the real problem for me.
    Apparently I was wrong as after a reboot of the computer it worked. The solution seemed to be to add Chinese to the language list. I don't know why it was not enough to restart Firefox?
    Now I only have problems to show chinese characters in the name field of my external link manager... But I guess it is not an issue for Mozilla.

  • Text is not displayed / Text wird nicht angezeigt

    Working with FM 11 I've got a longer text written with an older FM-version with some headings and paragraphes that are not displayed. It's just free space or lines and in some cases it's underlined like misspelled words but the characters are not visible. Paragraph- and character-formats look normal (that is black text on white background) and the text is not conditional. BUT the text is displayed in the Markers-Pod, when I mark a passage and it's even possible to find words in these paragraphs searching for them. I would appreciate any hint, how to deal with this problem.
    Georg

    Hi Georg,
    Sometimes I encounter a bug (FrameMaker 11.0.2.348) which also hides some text. I have a two-column layout with columns balanced. Usually some text is hidden at the end of the second column. When I add some empty paragraphs after the hidden text, the text appears again.
    MIF washing does not help.
    Luckily pages with hidden text have the Overflow property set. The bottom line of the text frame is solid. I wrote a FrameScript which checks for such pages.
    I do not know, if your problem has the same cause.
    Best regards
    Winfried
