The Exit button in the toolbar does not work for me.
The Exit button in the toolbar does not work for me.
I am creating WebHelp in Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, SP 3. I selected to have the Exit button [CloseHelp] on my toolbar within the Skin. In the Skin > Styles > Type, the OnClick property says: onClick="javascript:window.close();" But when I open the Help and click the Exit button it doesn't do anything. Has anyone else used it? Is this a bug?
Re: The Exit button in the toolbar does not work for me.
Flare's skin designer doesn't include a button type that closes the help, so is this something that you added (or the person who designed the skin)?
Anyway, I can see a few things with the javascript OnClick property.
First, you don't need the onClick=" " part, you just need the javascript itself.
Second, the action window.close() will close the current window, but the window is inside a frameset so it is acting on the frame containing the toolbar icons, not the whole thing. The command top.window.close() will try to close the whole frameset.
Anyway, try this for the OnClick property (exactly as it is):
That will close the window (for the whole frameset) - if you have IE you might get a confirmation prompt to close it.

Thanks, Dave. That worked [ top.window.close(); ] --closed the WebHelp after OK-onfirmation window.
