classic webhelp: problem with "\" in href

Tue Feb 28, 2017 5:03 pm

Hi,

I've applied the classic webhelp traqnsformation on my DITA map. For some links I got a message from the browser that a script is slowing down the website. (Seems like an infinite loop.)

Now I've found out that this was caused by the link containing a backslash ("\") as path delimiter. Replacing those by slashes ("/") solved my problem.

Still this might be something you want to look at.

Regards,
Patrik

Hello,

Please send us a valid DITA Map sample using the Technical Support form.
I cannot reproduce this by replacing slashes ("/") by backslashes ("\") in our flowers.ditamap sample file.

I only noticed this problem on a local (windows-)filesystem. Since we had to do quite some modifications to integrate the webhelp in our (typo3-)website I could not easily test this issue there. Anyway, since I have no problems with the href attributes I consider this issue to be closed.

Thanks and regards,
Patrik
