Variable has different value in displayed topic vs source

[dfriedman]

Having a real head scratcher with this one. Have a variable in my help called "Primary/Tab Name." The value I have set for it in my CHM target is not being updated in one topic when I view it with the CHM viewer. It is being updated in the source of the output though, which is extra maddening.

For example, in target: "Primary/Tab Name" = "Foo"
original definition: "Primary/Tab Name" = "Bar"

Every other topic:
Output: Foo tab.
Output Source: <span class="PrimaryTab Name">Foo</span> tab.

Evil topic:
Output: Bar tab.
Output Source: <span class="PrimaryTab Name">Foo</span> tab.

Any ideas?

I've had problems with variables if there is a space in the variable name - they seem to work at one level, but not if you customise for a target.

Try renaming from "Tab Name" to "TabName".

How many topics have you used the variable? You might have to do a find/replace to make sure the name change is updated properly.

Thanks for the help, Margaret. Turns out it was some legacy javascript that wanted to change content in a <span class = "tabname"> element into a specific string Commented out that code and it is working fine.
