Updates to RH 2000 HTML

I have a licenced version of RoboHELP 2000 HTML (originally purchased when RH was under Bluesky) which I've been using for years to develop .CHM project files and manuals shipped with our .exe based software.
Our company is shortly to develop a new web-based application and so it makes sense to use some kind of eHelp, to access html Help pages and stylesheets on our own (or on the client's own) server.
Could somebody advise me as to what kind of updates to RH HTML 2000 I'll need in order to produce suitable, context-sensitive help pages that would be accessible via links within our forthcoming product?
Tips in designing the Help project would also be welcome!

Hi TFC1 and welcome to the RH community.
That is a very old copy of RH you have there and the product has come on in leaps and bounds since then and you may be pleasently surprised as to what it can do now compared to the version you have. You can download a fully working trial of RH8 (the latest version) here if you want to take a peek. That said, it is possible for you to produce a web based output from that version.
On a more general note, there are different output formats that you can consider when outputting to a web/server interface. The most popular is WebHelp which produces a collection of files that are published to your web/server location. The design of the help is pretty much the same as for locally based help files (e.g. a CHM file). The only major change is that webhelp uses a skin that can be customised to give the help file a particularl look and feel. The good news is however that a default (and IMHO very acceptable) skin is supplied out of the box.
Do feel free to post back with any other questions that may arise.

  • Can not update MS-Acess 2000 db; currently locked

    Running CFMX7, IIS6 on Win2k3. Using <unfortunately>
    multiple Ms-Access 2000 mdbs. One application in particular is
    erroring out constantly. I have "maintain connections" unchecked.
    Line 86 is the location of the update query. The update query DOES
    NOT use CFUPDATE...it uses CFQUERY with update statement inside.
    "Error","jrpp-135","01/29/08","14:02:50",,"Error Executing
    Database Query.[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC
    Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not update;
    currently locked by user 'admin' on machine 'mymachinename'. The
    specific sequence of files included or processed is:
    D:\Websites\thiswebsite\wwwroot\WebApps\subfolder\subfolder2\results.cfm,
    line: 86 "

    I did eventually get it to work. The most important piece was
    changing the CF datasource type from MS-Acess to ODBC-Socket.
    Making this change was the single biggest improvement I could
    have made. It must be because even though the CF Datasource type
    says MS-Access, it's actually using a JDBC-ODBC bridge, whereas the
    ODBC-Socket is using the "old" or "previous" method of using ODBC
    directly. So you need to make sure you have an existing ODBC entry
    in the windows odbc administrator (odbcad32.exe).

  • Dreamweaver template to update file other than html?

    Hi,
    I am using Dreamweaver CS4 to manage my website.
    The problem is i cannot get Dreamweaver to update my .tpl (php template)
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    Thanks,
    I finally figure it out how to get if fix.
    May be i should say it clear, i use dreamweaver template which is a dwt file to update all html pages in my website.
    But some of the file i use which is tpl extension (the same as html file but with template variables). The dreamweaver
    did not recognize it. The page did not show up when i make changes in dwt file.
    Then what i do is change the "configuration" > "DocumentTypes", so that dreamweaver recognize tpl as a type of html file.
    After that i change extension.txt file also. Rebuild site cache. And now its done.

  • CS6 update erased favorites; text & html tags gone

    Today's update of Dreamweaver appears to have erased my favorites.  In addition, when I go to restore my favorites I find there are NO text tags available and no text tab in the toolbar!
    Dreamweaver version 12.1 Build 5949
    Is this a "Feature" of paying for software on subscription so that I can get incremental updates like this?

    I want to use the latest version of Dreamweaver. That's why I pay a monthly subscription. I don't want to be rolling back to restore points and messing other things that might have changed in the interim.
    I completely uninstalled CS6 using Windows uninstall.  Then I used the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool to remove all traces of my CS5.5 Design Premium legacy files. (No idea if this was necessary; just being thorough)
    Then I used the CS6 Application manager and reinstalled Dreamweaver.
    Dreamweaver is now restored to version 12.0 <-- not the 12.1 I had been running when I had trouble.
    I now have Insert > HTML > Text Objects
    And the Insert panel now contains the Text tab
    And now -- immediately after installing the application -- I'm told that I have an update available:
    I have work to do. I'm not going to install version 12.1 just to prove that it is the problem.
    IF someone can show me that they have version 12.1 installed and they have the Text tab in the Insert panel, I'd love to see proof. And perhaps an explanation of how they managed that.

  • Can't install Updater and view my HTML page online!

    Hi all,
    I do have the most recent version of Macromedia Dreamweaver
    MX 2004 ver. 7.0.1. But I was trying to install the updater anyway.
    As I was trying to install the Updater I received a Severe Error
    message which says: "This folder does not contain Dreamweaver MX
    2004." This happens when I choose the destination as to where I
    should install the files. And I do have Dreamweaver installed on my
    machine. Although I probably don't need the updater, I wanted to
    install it because I am having problems viewing my html file (which
    embeds an swf) when I upload it to the server. I can view it
    locally but when I view the page online, it just hangs there
    forever.
    I sent my html file to someone else and she was able to
    upload it to her server and when I viewed her source code, I
    noticed that she had some JavaScript. When I asked her about it,
    she said that the JS file that's in the html was automatically
    added by Dreamweaver to overcome the Microsoft click to activate
    limitation. The script writes the Flash embed code to the page
    dynamically. That didn't happen for me, so I'm confused as why my
    html page which embeds Flash can't be viewed online correctly.
    Please help! Thanks!

    "This folder does not contain Dreamweaver MX 2004."
    That only means that it doesn't contain DW7.0 - which you
    already know.
    Since you have already updated to 7.0.1, this is the expected
    error message
    when you try to update again.
    > it just hangs there forever.
    Post a link to the page, please.

    Not if you are using 7.0.1 it doesn't. A look at your page
    would reveal
    all, though.

  • Updated - Cursor focus in HTML text field in JEditorPane

    The last poster just save my bacon - so an update for others: Adding a JEditorPane to a JWindow will result in all the <INPUT type=text> form elements to be non focusable. Switching to JFrame does make things work again - but I would love to have a JWindow again (I don't want the title bar for a kiosk type operation).
    thanks!
    brian
    Here is the guy I do thank!!!
    ** PROBLEM
    How do I make cursor focus go into an HTML text field in a JEditorPane?
    My test appplication is a JPanel containing a JEditorPane and nothing else. The content type is text/html. The HTML text contains a form and an INPUT TYPE=TEXT tag. I use setEditable(false) because I do not want the user to edit the paragraph text, only to type in the text field.
    The text field does not get cursor focus. Tab does nothing. The user can click with the mouse to place focus in the text field, so the field is capable of receiving focus. I guess the field is in a View that stops it participating in the component hierarchy.
    Is there a way to make this work?
    ** SOLUTION! - ok, if you don't use JWindow
    It turns out that setEditable(false) is not enough. The JEditorPane still gets in the way of the focus cycle. It also needs setFocusCycleRoot(false) and setFocusable(false) to prevent it from participating in focus. Focus on the text field then works normally.

  • Can you do Update Record from an HTML link?

    Can you implement the Update Record server behavior by
    clicking on an HTML link?
    As far as the documentation I've read indicates, the Update
    Record server behavior is only capable of updating a record when a
    Form is submitted.
    I would rather have the action of clicking on an HTML link
    update the record, rather than having a Submit button to update the
    record.
    Is this possible? How do I go about doing this?
    Is

    If you coded the HTML on the page to submit your variables,
    you should be
    able to pull them in to the update page, though you might
    have to manually
    edit some code.
    However, this also means you will always have a link present
    that bots will
    hit (and thus will update your database). Is this what you're
    looking for?
    It certainly doesn't sound like the best method.

  • Updating all items of HTML itembox to Oracle table

    Hi friends,
    In my assignment,I need your help. I'm wondering how can I update all the items of my HTML itembox ,defined in one of the jsp page, to Oracle table.
    Thanks in advance.

    hsperhar wrote:
    Thanks ,in that I can deal with the servlet programming and collecting and updating the data in my oracle tables. But how would I collect the names/values of all the items of HTML itembox in my servlet/JSP, so that later I can update my oracle table with those string values.Method request.getParameter(String) will catch the selected items only of the itembox. How can I force the form to pass all the names of items of itembox to servlet. You need to pass them separately. But why do you need to do this? You already know at the server side which options are all in the dropdown. Simply because you couldn't have printed it to the response otherwise.
    Plus: how can we substract two arrays. I mean if A[]={1,2,3} & B[]={2,3} then how can I get C[]=A-B={1}Just write an utility method for that. Or use the Collections framework, the List API for example provides you a removeAll() method.

  • MXI-3 blue screen when updating to windows 2000 service pack 3 or 4

    I have na host computer with windows 2000, and a PXI chassis connected through MXI-3 (cooper wires). I have a 6025E, a 5102, a 5112, a pickering DMM, and two pickering switch-cards in it. Updating windows is not possible. It didn't work months ago when windows 2000 service pack came out and it doesn't work now with windows 2000 service pack 4 -Blue screeen of death is the verdict!
    Any ideas about the posible problem and a cure?
    Scientia est potentia!

    Hi Magvar,
    The first thing we need to determine is the cause of the problem. Right now, I see two possible causes. First, the problem could be with the OS on your computer. Second, the problem could be with the MXI-3 interface. In order to determine which is causing the blue screen, I recommend removing the PCI-MXI-3 board from the computer before you install the service pack. If the service pack will successfully install, then we know the problem was with the MXI-3 board. You can then try to reinstall the board. If the installation is not successful, then we know the problem is not connected with the MXI-3 system. In that case, you may need to contact Microsoft for further assistance.
