Do you mean to load the frameset version of the Webhelp output (the format of the
index_frames.html file), but set any node from the
Content tree as the initial page displayed in the right side content panel, instead of the default initial page (which is the first node of the
Content tree)? That is not possible in the frameset version (the
index_frames.html file). That is possible only in the internal frames version (the
index.html file): just pass the following URL to the browser:
out/webhelp/index.html#<path-to-page-from-right-side-panel>, where you replace
<path-to-page-from-right-side-panel> with the relative path to the section file that you want to load in the right-side panel, relative to the
out/webhelp/ directory, for example:
subdir1/subdir2/mySection1.html, or
mySection2.html.
Getting the same effect with the
index_frames.html file would require you to edit the
index_frames.html file and replace in the following code fragment:
Code: Select all
function getHTMLPage(){
var currentPage = "ch01.html";
the path of
ch01.html with the path of your initial right-side page, for example
ch02s01.html:
Code: Select all
function getHTMLPage(){
var currentPage = "ch02s01.html";

The left-side panel called
Content should always be present in the Webhelp output, in both the internal frames version (
index.html) and the frameset one (
index_frames.html). Do you get the same result on one of the Docbook 5 sample documents from the default Oxygen project (the project file
samples/sample.xpr opened in the
Project view)? If yes, can you send us the output directory of your transformation, that is
samples/docbook/v5/out/webhelp? If not, please
send us a sample Docbook XML document for reproducing the problem.

Please use the
index.html version of the Webhelp output for opening the Webhelp in browser directly to a specific topic/subsection. If you must use the
index_frames.html version you will need to edit the
index_frames.html file as I said above.
