Script error occurs when navigating between CHM files

[Jim]

Hello all!

We're _almost_ done with converting our files to MadCap, but have come across a little hiccup that I hope someone can help us with.

We have merged multiple Flare projects into a single parent CHM file. In some cases, there are links in the child CHM files that point to a page in the parent. These links are set up as follows:

Code: Select all

<a href="ms-its:Parent.chm::HTMLPage.htm">Link Text</a>

We build the parent project (which in turn, builds the child projects), and everything looks good. UNTIL we click on the link. Then we receive a script error "Unable to get value of the property 'getElementsByTagName': object is null or undefined." The URL points to Output\HTML Help\Parent.chm::/SkinSupport/MadCapBody.js.

Has anyone seen this issue? Obviously, script errors in the final output are not desirable! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think the code is missing a /

ms-its:Parent.chm::/HTMLPage.htm

I don't know that will fix the error, but worth a try.

I think the code is missing a /

ms-its:Parent.chm::/HTMLPage.htm

That fixed our issue...thank you!

No problems. I always try to check inconsequential symbols, remembering the hours my dad spent debugging games typed out of the old Apple magazines - days spent trying to find misplaced commas. :p
