Active Server Page (ASP) call example
When the Configuration Wizard is used to create an engine, a "RoboAPI.asp"
file is also generated. This file is located in the root of the Web site in which the
engine is created. The ASP file is used to link published projects together.
Following are some ASP file options you can use to display your projects.
n Default usage: Displays the first default topic found in the project within a
new browser window.
<p><a href="http://help.ehelp.com/RoboAPI.asp?"
TARGET="_blank">Click Here to access this server</a></p>
n Project parameter: Displays the default topic and window of the specified
project in a new browser window. If that project does not have a default
topic, then the first topic found is used. If no topics are found, then the
engine default topic is found.
<p><a href="http://help.ehelp.com/ RoboAPI.asp?
project=helpcommunity_help" TARGET="blank">Click Here to
see the Help Community.</a></p
n URL parameter: Displays the URL in a new browser window.
<p><a href=http://help.ehelp.com/
RoboAPI.asp?url=http://www.ehelp.com/products/roboinfo
TARGET="blank">Click Here to see the roboinfo products
page</a></p>
Note: In the examples above, the target "blank" was used. For hrefs, however,
there are four possible TARGETS:
'_blank' (new browser window)
'_self' (same browser window)
'_parent' (parent frame)
'_top' (entire browser window)
The first default window found in the list of published projects is
displayed in the TARGET. To ensure that the window displays as you
defined it in RoboInfo Publisher, you must use a JavaScript call.
