QtAssistant won't open help file

[waynew]

I have almost gotten QtAssistant working with my application, but not quite.
It opens ok and displays the table of contents, but when you click on a topic, it doesn't open the help file in the right side pane. I think the problem is in the html help in the qhc file - I don't know how to tag the sections there so they can be found. This must be simple, but I can't seem to find an answer.

Here is the qhp file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <QtHelpProject version="1.0">
     <namespace>K4ELO.net.QtLogger.1_0</namespace>
     <virtualFolder>doc</virtualFolder>
     <customFilter name="QtLogger 1.0">
     </customFilter>
     <filterSection>
         <toc>
				<section title="QtLogger Help" ref="./QtLogger_Help_Index.html">
					<section title="Introduction" ref="./QtLogger_Help_Text.html"/>
					<section title="Getting Started" ref="QtLogger_Help_Tex./t.html"/>
					<section title="Toolbar" ref="./QtLogger_Help_Text.html"/>
             </section>
         </toc>
         <keywords>
				<keyword name="Toolbar" ref="./QtLogger_Help_Text.html"/>
         </keywords>
         <files>
             <file>QtLogger_Help_Index.html</file>
             <file>QtLogger_Help_Text.html</file>
         </files>
     </filterSection>
 </QtHelpProject>

         </files>
     </filterSection>
 </QtHelpProject>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So what needs to be done in the QtLogger_Help_Text file to tag those sections so they can be found from the toc references? Or is that really the problem?

Looks fairly similar to a help project of mine. You could try removing the "./" from the front of the <section> ref file names so that they exactly match the names in the <file> elements:

<section title="Introduction" ref="QtLogger_Help_Text.html"/>

<section title="Introduction" ref="QtLogger_Help_Text.html"/>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

to match:

<file>QtLogger_Help_Index.html</file>

<file>QtLogger_Help_Index.html</file>

Thanks Chris. I decided to use a QDockWidget with a QSplitter to display the help files in. Working fine now.
Yes, the problem was the links in the html files. A friend and fellow Qter got me to an html editor that helps put the links in, so now it links properly and double clicking the item in the contents or index opens the associated file ok.
