Use of _left.htm file

Post by doctest »

hi,

Can smebody tell me the use of the _left.htm file created while generating webhelp. Coz the code of the project.htm file and the project_left.htm file is the same. we are facing some problem while integration due to this file.

regards

The _Left file is used in CSH calls, but there is no reason that you need to call this file

hi,

So can we delete this file in case there is some problem faced during integration. As u said this file is not called. So is it a redundant file. In what scenario will this file be called as the code for the csh file and left file is same.

It is not used in the CSH calls from your application, but it is used for displaying the help. You can't just delete it. I also wonder which integration problems you encounter. The only page that is of any relevance when integrating WebHelp is the default topic _csh.htm file, which also behaves and operates like calling any other URL.

The default_left file is required by Flare, I would not delete this file as it may cause problems later. When the skin has to be reloaded
