Generated Web Help not working after closing HelpSmith
I am using HelpSmith trial version to create an online system that should work over network.
When I compile my help project to the Web Help format, it works perfectly while HelpSmith is still running (i.e. via the HelpSmith's web server).
But if I close HelpSmith or move the Web Help files to another directly, there is no TOC synchronization, and I'm unable to copy a link to a topic correctly.
Modern web browsers apply security restrictions to HTML files that are accessed directly from the local computer. For example, some functions that are implemented with JavaScript code (e.g. Search, redirects, etc.) may not work in this case.
Therefore, it is recommended that a Web Help system to be accessed from a web server (via http:// or https:// protocol) only, but not via "file://" protocol.
To publish a generated Web Help system, you can upload it to a web server provided by your hosting service. Alternatively, on the local computer, you can install a web server software, such as Apache.
