Exporting CHM

Author Message

I`ve exported a project to a CHM file.
The file opens right but I keep on recieving those annoying IE messages "Error in line..."
I still can browse the file if I click either yes or no but would be better without them.
My IE settings are set to "Don`t show those errors".

Thanks for your help.

Can you tell me a URL that shows such errors after the export?

Thank you!

Thanks for your answer Oleg.

Here`s the page:

http://usuarios.lycos.es/americalatina/index.htm

But errors appear in my export file.
This happens in a lot of the chm files I create.

Thanks

I tried to improve that, but this site contains an error in the script. It is not visible when browsing from the orignal site, but occurs when you browse offline.

Can I ask you to load the following file:

http://www.metaproducts.com/download/betas/oebrowse.zip

Unzip the file to the directory where Offline Explorer is installed and Export the Project to a Compressed EXE Viewer. This will give you almost the same output as CHM, but without the problem.

Does it work for you?

Thanks a lot Oleg.

Sorry Oleg but I still get the errors.

When you start the exported.exe file? Can you send me a screenshot of it to support@metaproducts.com ?

Thank you!

Sorry Oleg, It works!
The problem was that an app I`ve installed this morning "Flash Capture" has changed my Internet Settings. "Don`t show command errors" (My IE is in spanish, so I`m not sure this is so in english) was unmarked.

Sorry and thank you for your time.

Oleg, would you recommend me an app to quickly detect broken links in websites downloaded with Offline Explorer and be able to delete them from OE before exporting the website?

I`ve tried with FrontPage but, well, that`s a pain in... ;))

Thanks

What do you mean under broken links? Links that point to non-existing file offline? If so, you can use Online Links Translation mode in Offline Explorer when downloading Web sites - every link that is not downloaded will point online this way.

I mean links that point to a non existing page (Error 401). I would like to erase these links from the project. If I do it manually (checking each link, then editing and erasing the entry) it can take a lot of time. So, I was wondering a way to list all these links and erase them.

I think that you don`t mean "links", but rather files with the error information that were loaded by Offline Explorer. If yes, then please use Edit | Find Contents feature to search for the error words - you will get a list of all such pages and you can select them all and delete.

Does this help?

Yes, this is what I meant.
Again, thank you, Oleg.
