HTML above table of contents in browser based help

Unread post by Ray Rippey »

I want a link to my normal website in all the pages above the topics area on the left. I sort of got this to work by typing in an html tag

<a href="http://www.vmtsoft.com">VMT Home Page</a>

just before the normal:

<a href="<%HREF_INDEX_PAGE%>">Keyword Index</a>

However, I guess because help is in frames, and my web site is not in frames, I ended up with the help on the right and part of my page on the left... what I want to know how to do is shut off the frames so the link completely shuts down the html help when the user clicks on the link back to my web site.

What would be nice in a future version is a place to put a link to your website in the project area.

Thank you.

Hi Ray,

To replace the Help with your own web site, use:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.vmtsoft.com" target="_top">VMT Home Page</a>
To leave the Help running and open your web site in its own separate window, use:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.vmtsoft.com" target="_blank">VMT Home Page</a>
regards,

Martin.
