I have a problem with the Eclipse stand-alone help system (2.1.2).
I am trying to develop a feedback mechanism for reviewing topics. This
involves being able to open an external browser window from a topic in the
help, and then being able to re-open a variety of different topics back in
the help window's ContentFrame, from links in this external window.
Opening a link in an external window from a topic is easy enough:
<a href="http://[address]:[port]/external.htm" target="_blank">
And I can 'sort of' load a topic back into the right frame in the help
window from a link in this page:
<a
href=" http://[address]:[port]/help/topic/[plugin]/[topic].htm?nofr ames=true "
target="ContentFrame">
But then I get problems!
The content toolbar disappears, and subsequently clicking on topics in the
navigation opens a new instance of the help in a brand new window.
To restore the toolbar, I'm guessing that I should be loading the topic
using something like:
contentToolbar.jsp?topic=/[plugin]/[topic].htm
But I can't seem to get this to work at all. (Best is a grayed-out frame!)
And how do I stop subsequent actions in the navigation from opening new help
windows?
Any help appreciated!

ContentFrame contains two frames ContentToolbarFrame and ContentViewFrame.
By loading into ContentFrame you are removing the other two frames,
consequently things do not work anymore. You should be loading topic into
ContentViewFrame.
