Dear all,
I don t know if this topic has already been treated.
I would like to use only the url with anchor after pressing F1.
Is there any option in H&M7 to specify that the url will only be with anchor , and not with contextId ?
Best regards,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
If you are programming F1 help then you are programming it, you are making the calls to the help. So you need to program your calls to use the URL and anchor instead of the context ID. Are you referencing CHM or WebHelp in this case? Links to tutorials for interfacing with CHM can be found here:
https://www.helpandmanual.com/support_tutorials.html
Calls to WebHelp are just browser URLs, you program those in the same way as opening any regular web page. Always call to
index.html?topicname.htm#anchorid
for standard skins and
topicname.html?anchor=anchorid
for V3 and V4 Premium Pack skins. Remember that anchors are always all lower case.

Thank you for your answer, it works very well. We use webhelp for our software.
Yesterday I tried this url already, but anchors were not working. It was probably cache option in Chrome.
