Issues when linking between projects

Hi everyone,



I've been creating HTML help with RH X5 for a few years, but
am new to creating WebHelp (still with X5).



I've run accross a couple of issues that I'm having problems
with and hope someone can help me:



-- Is there a way to link to a separate WebHelp project in a
new window, and maintain the window properties of the project that
I'm linking to? Currently, regardless of the window settings in my
project, the window size is the same as the project that calls it.



-- I'm trying to set up a clear process for linking between
projects, but am finding the paths more difficult to predict than
in HTML help. Are there any tips for quick and easy linking between
projects?



Thanks in advance!

Hello Kathy -



You asked:

''Is there a way to link to a separate WebHelp project in a
new window, and maintain the window properties of the project that
I'm linking to?''



You would need to use JavaScript and know the size of the
called WebHelp.



You commented:

''Currently, regardless of the window settings in my project,
the window size is the same as the project that calls it.''



That is correct...it is the operating system default
behavior.



You asked:

''Are there any tips for quick and easy linking between
projects?''



Well thought out preparation, attention to detail, and rigid
compliance by all (good luck).

Kathy:



The browser size is user-centric; that's why both appear in
the same size window.



When creating your links, ensure that you have all the
folders copied to your machine in the correct directory structure.
RH will create relative links based on that structure. (Don't be
fooled by the absolute path it shows in the UI window after you've
selected the file; if you re-select the link properties you'll find
that RH modified the link to relative manner.)





Good luck,

Leon
