RE: Configuring Context-Sensitive RoboHelp with a Web Based JavaApplication
Subject:RE: Configuring Context-Sensitive RoboHelp with a Web Based JavaApplication From:"Margaret Hassall" <Margaret -dot- Hassall -at- computershare -dot- com -dot- au> To:"Anthony" <italian_scribbles -at- yahoo -dot- com>, <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 27 Jul 2006 12:42:19 +1000
We use context sensitive help with our .CHMs and our browser based
web-help - all generated from RoboHelp X5.
Our developer could work it all out from the help files supplied by
RoboHelp (look up CSH - context sensitive help) - these tell you about
the folder of supplied routines in "Program Files\RoboHelp\CSH API",
that pretty much does all the work. He had to add a "help id" to the
application pages (.ASP and XML files), and had a careful look at the
web help that I generated. Now, all I have to do is assign the mapids
that are generated from the helpIDS as per usual. The CSH API folder has
scripts for java, but I have not looked at them.
Comments I got back from the developerwere along the lines "it's easy -
all explained in the help file".
Hope this helps.
