Hi Chris,

After selecting a search result in a CHM, try clicking the Display button above (or sometimes below) the results.

CHM has a very old clunky interface.

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Claus,

Glad you found the problem.

I'm also using Lazarus to create open-source versions of my Delphi programs. For internet connections I use Synapse, which works great:

But why does it then work with the browser when the files are localy on my c: drive? And here http://foreningsprogram.dk/support/ (this was made with the old H&M version) Hi, The PNG files are not the same. Some 0D bytes (CR, carriage return) have been removed from the current file. When I repl...

Hi, The way I do it is to publish temporarily my Webhelp without any skin* (make it a separate publishing task), and display it locally in a separate browser window. Select the keyword index, and make the window very narrow to contain only the index. Leaving room on the screen for the H&M editor...

Hi, Your images are not being shown because they are not correctly coded PNG files. Which application did you use to create them? They are quite old, dated 2007. Were they created by an old version of H&M from bitmaps? I have tried to open them in several graphics programs. This is the message d...

Hi David,

You need to put the PDF file in the Baggage Files section.

cheers,

Martin.

Just returning to this to add that my function posted above fails in a situation where an <img> element is created with an empty source on loading, to be populated later by scripting. For example some slideshow applications create an array of images and then transfer each one into the visible elemen...

Hi Tim,

Copy/paste failure above?

cheers,

Martin.

Like I said, it is only H&M output that is affected and I've had the monitor for 4 years. Hi Peter, I use this function to prevent images going fuzzy by being enlarged by the browser. It doesn't prevent them shrinking if necessary on smaller devices. It means though that your images will appear...

If you want video, use a video program. Trying to create video with it is like trying to eat clear soup with a fork. Wrong tool. 8) Hi Tim, I don't think folks are actually asking for video as real video, certainly not as fuzzy MP4 video. What is needed is a means to distribute Xplains as a single ...

I would like the image to show at 100% when the screen zoom is 100%. Hi Peter, You can fix this for your own browser, but it won't work for everyone else. In Firefox, enter about:config in the address bar. Click through the warning and be careful. :) Search for: layout.css.devPixelsPerPx Right-clic...

Hi Ga,

If you right-click on a cursor you can click Change Cursor on its menu and select the hand cursor instead.

cheers,

Martin.

I wonder how H&M decides which drive to install the examples in? Hi Simon, The problem is that there is no such location on disk as: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\... It is a Windows virtual folder, which is my objection to using them. There is a single \Documents\ folder, and individual fil...

Maybe you are backing up your documents to OneDrive Hi Simon, Laurel, Thanks, but no I'm not doing that. However I have now found the HM7 stuff at: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\My HelpAndManual Projects\Examples\HelpAndManual7\Graphics Buttons\ So Laurel, try looking there. :) p.s. I don't use ...

That means you disabled the option to install the sample files when you installed the program. Just run the installer again and make sure you check the option to install the sample files and projects., 8) Hi Tim, That doesn't work for me. I just ran the installer again to check. I have the Graphics...
