Note: You will learn how to create an online form in this book.
When testing the form (to see if you coded it correctly), you will
receive a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error--even if you
typed everything perfectly. The instructions in the book, while
correct, link to a CGI script on our server. The script has worked
for years, and still does. It sends the form results back to you
in the form of an e-mail. For security reasons, many Internet hosts,
including ours, now prohibit the use of CGI scripts for a page unless
the page is on the same server as the script. Since the form you
created is not posted on our server, and therefore could present
a security risk, you will be unable to properly test the form.
The Workaround: Use the following link in the Action area of the
Properties panel:
http://www.iconlogic.com/formtest.htm
While your form will not process any data, you will no longer receive
the error message.
Essentials of RoboHelp HTML X5
 What is RoboHelp HTML?
RoboHelp HTML is the industry standard for Help authoring. It's
the preferred program if you are a Help author, technical writer,
or programmer tasked with creating Help systems for desktop or Web-based
applications.
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Simply put, HTML is
a formatting language. You put codes (markups) inside text files
so that they can be read by browsing software. Currently, the two
most popular browsing programs are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft's
Internet Explorer.
Files that you mark up can be read from your hard drive or from
the World Wide Web (WWW). Documents available on the WWW are HTML
files.
RoboHelp HTML has the letters HTML in its name; therefore, many
people think that RoboHelp HTML is strictly an HTML authoring tool--it
is not. While you can create terrific Web sites with RoboHelp HTML,
its primary mission is to let you quickly, and easily, create Help
systems.
This easy-to-use tutorial that will have you creating your own
HTML Help systems (complete with topics, books, links, tables, forms,
glossaries, frames, skins, templates, DHTML, cascading style sheets
and more) within two days.
