Why is first topic not displaying in merged help?

I created a merged help system in RH 9, following Peter Grainge's "Merging WebHelp - RoboHelp 8" steps.  When I open the default (index) file in the parent, the first topic doesn't display and I get this error in the topic frame:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
I can click on any topic from the TOC frame and it will display properly.
I did follow Step 8 (Forcing the TOC to synchronise) and made the change to the whthost.js file in the generated output folder for both the parent and the child.
I also tried to search this forum before asking this question, using google as directed since the forum search is broken. But I wasn't able to find anything relevant.
Thanks for your help.

When that happens it is almost certainly because the path to the redirect is not right. Check that the relative path is correct and that the target file is where it should be.

  • Topics not displayed in HTML Help after importing bilingual (Eng, Simp Chinese) word doc

    Hi all:
    I imported a bilingual (English, Simplified Chinese) word
    document (Windows XP) into Robohelp and split topics based on
    Headings. This was successful and I could see both English and
    Chinese characters in the topic sections.
    When I generated HTML Help and reviewed the output, the TOC
    was displayed properly, but the topics could not be found for all
    topics in the TOC.
    I had installed the language packages in Windows XP.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I wonder if this is nothing to do with language but because
    you are viewing the CHM across a network.
    If that is the case, see this article.

  • Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

    Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?
    My coworkers and I are not seeing a animation in the preview pane in Adobe Bridge CS6 even when clicking the play button in the preview window. However, we do see a graphic of the first frame and one person sees 1 frame when clicking play and one other frame and then the animation stops, however, that is not the complete animation.
    I'm using Windows 7 32 bit
    My coworkers are using a mac.
    One coworker has apple OS Mountain Lion with a Intel Quad-Core Xeon – 64 bit system.
    Is this fixable or in the works as a patch? Otherwise we have to open these docs in a browser in order to view them properly.

    I've just come to the realization that some animated gifs do play fine and others do not. A coworker of mine suggests that if it's an animation made via Adobe Photoshop, it'll work in bridge but will not if it's made using something else.

  • Why exchange rate is not displayed correctly when I create the PO in SRM?

    Hi Gurus,
    Yesterday I insert a new row at OB08 tx. at backend system (R/3) for exchange rate of May 17,2010, the value was 10.00. Then I run the BBP_GET_EXRATE program to replicate the info to SRM.
    But when I created a purchase order (PO) the value was 12.24 for exchange rate (this value 12.24 is the value for the previous day May 16, 2010).
    Today morning (May 18, 2010), I inserted another row at R/3 and replicated to SRM, the new value for May 18 was 11. I create another PO and the value was 10 for exchange rate (the value for yesterday).
    But when the PO is transmitted to R/3, the exchange rate is the correct.
    My question is: Why exchange rate is not displayed correctly when I create the PO in SRM? Exists an aspect of memory in SRM that it has to be refreshed? Why SRM is getting the exchange rate for yesterday? Is an issue for time zone?

    Hi Muthu,
    I'm in Extended classic.
    I already discovered what is happening. At the time of being creating the purchase order (PO), it takes the exchange rate of the delivery date of the shopping cart (SC). But when the order is authorized and tries to transmit it to R/3, it takes the exchange rate of the date of creation of the PO.
    Two checks of budget exist:
    1.- When creating PO (exchange rate date of delivery date of the SC's item)
    2.- When authorized and tries to transmit it to R/3 (exchange rate date of creation date of the PO)
    If exchange rate of delivery date of the SC is lower than exchange rate date of creation of the PO, there are cases in which it is marking budget error.
    Now my question is: It is a standard behavior? (to take different exchange rate)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It means that it is not connected to the Internet, so it may be turned off. Another option would be that somebody has resetted it to default settings and has changed the Apple ID, being impossible to track your son's iPhone. Anyway, report it to the police because it is the only thing you can do at the moment

       .......In the above code .... the form data values and the image are not displayed beforehand the user presses one of the button of the alert... as expected.....
    How can i impose the system to display the contents in the "BLK_TEMPLATE_ITEMS" block , the image and then the alert....????
    I tried the PAUSE built-in procedure... it works as i want... but it displays another message("Please confirm") before the alert.....
    Thanks ,

    Did synchronize solve your issue?
    Like to know it too ;-)
    And if you put EXECUTE_QUERY just before your call to the alert?

  • Robohelp 8: Child Project topics not displaying in the topic pane

    Hi All:
    I am working on a Robohelp 8 merged help with four child projects. The child project I added last (which appears as Child 2 on the ToC) displays fine in the ToC pane. However, none of the Child 2 topics display in the Topics pane.
    When I investigated, I found that Child 2 had a few broken links. I fixed them but this has made no difference.
    I have cleared the MergedHelp folder and recompiled a few times, but w/o any change. Child 1, 3 and 4 topics display in the topics pane, but not Child 2 topics.
    Would appreciate any pointers.
    Regards,
    Sophie

    Try deleting the child from the TOC and readding it. If that does not work, can you post an image of what you are seeing. You can do so via the camera toolbar icon.

  • Upon refreshing the page, why always first.jsp  is displayed ?

    Hi all,
    In case of multipage portlet (jpdk example), why always the first.jsp is displayed upon clicking the refresh button of the page containing the multipage portlet even when we are viewing the second.jsp. Can we avoid this?

    Hi,
    As it's visible here Struts 1 doesn't have this component. Although this is 1.3.8 struts version but I doubt if in 1.3.10 TabbedPanel is already implemented. So nothing unusual that it's not working.
    To use this component (class) You've to download the latest Struts version (it would be Struts 2 of course) and migrate Your project from Struts 1 to Struts 2. I don't know Struts 1 very well but I read several articles about migration to the latest version and this migration was worth it. Is see this article as very helpful in this case.
    And 'struts-tags' is not a class. This a tag library directive that names the library which contains the tags. This uri is declared in a tld file (tag library descriptor) which is special descriptor for the whole library.

  • New topic not appearing in merged index

    I have used @Peter Grainge’s “Merging Help” document for a few years now (at least since RoboHelp 8)
    Now using RoboHelp 10. Internet Explorer 9.
    I created the topic. Created a Map ID for the topic
    Added to the index.
    Saved the project.
    Generated the parent (parent already had the child project in its TOC from years back). Content setting for Index is: “Default Index”. Navigation setting for Preferred Format is: “DHTML”.
    Generated the child. Content setting for Index is: “Default Index”. Navigation setting for Preferred Format is: “DHTML”.
    Copied the parent and child  whdata, whgdata, whxdata folders to folders outside the project along with the generated results for the parent and child.
    TOC is synchronized, Index appears, but the new topic does not.
    Did I miss a step?
    I did not add the topic to the browse sequence.

    That narrows things down a lot. Close the project and save a copy of the index file somewhere. Open the project index file in a text editor. Can you see the index keyword in there? Does the entry look correct compared with other entries? If not correct it.
    If still no result, try adding another keyword.

  • 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!

  • UPK preview topic not displaying after being published

    After preview topic loads, it will not display. We have already disabled popup blocker. Any help would be appreciated..

    Hello,
    Please log a support ticket using My Oracle Support (http://support.oracle.com/). They will be able to assist you.
    In the meantime, I would suggest publishing to the Player style to test the content and to see if you have similar problems launching content. If you have similar problems, it might be a bit easier to see what's happening since you can keep trying to open the content without going through the preview.
    Best regards,

  • Why does Email text not display, only the header?

    When opening an email message, the text or graphics if applicable does not display.  The messages display in my Inbox along with the Preview Pane, but when opened the text box is blank.  Why?

    Close out of the mail app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
