Home Button

Hello. I'm attempting to use a Home button in my Webhelp that
will return the user to the Default help page. I'm using the same
html code that I found in another help system (whose Home button
DOES work):



%26lt;input TYPE=submit

VALUE=Home


onClick=''window.location.href(%26amp;quot;introduction.htm%26amp;quot;)''





However, when I click the Home button in my help system, it
displays a blank page within the existing page. Essentially, I'm
seeing 2 blank pages (one ''Powered by RoboHelp'' message under
another). What could I be doing wrong?



Thanks!

Mary Beth

If your %26amp;quot; is like that in your code, try
substituting a single quote like this:



onClick=''window.location.href('introduction.htm')''



Hope this helps



In case none else has said this to you, Welcome to the
forums.

Mary Beth,



A followup:



You might get the topic inside a WebHelp frame inside a
WebHelp frame. If that happens, please post back.



Another thought: You can do it more easily by using a regular
RH link from the button to the introduction. Just don't select
''Open in a New Window.''

Harvey, thanks for the suggestion....it gives me the same
thing though.

Harvey, I can't use the regular RH link from the button
because when I highlight the button, the Hyperlink icon isn't
lit.
Woohoo! I just created another button and tried it and it
worked...go figure! Must be some leftover Halloween spooks in my
system.



Thanks, Harvey.
