Serving a HELP file for my Web APP

[rjolda]

Hi,
NT 14.21   C 11.0.136
I wrote a Help manual in HTML in Dr Explain.  Now, I want to have my users be able to open it.  However, I can't get it to work.
My HELP file is in the folder EPPILIHELP which is under the web folder for my APP.  WIthin the EPPILIHELP folder is an Index.htm page which is the root for all of the HTML HELP files.
I put a Menu Item called "HELP"  which  On CLick   opens the URL:   '/EPPIPIHelp/Index.htm'
However, the APP says that the file cannot be found.  I tried lots of permuatations of folder and name combos - no working.  Target fra,e  is '_blank'.

What is the proper way to call my help file?
Thanks,
Ron

I assume the typos are just in your post and not in the URL?  (eppiL/eppiP)

Hi,
Typos in Post.  URL is correct in my APP  and the post should have said : 
I put a Menu Item called "HELP"  which  On CLick   opens the URL:   '/EPPILIHelp/Index.htm'
Fat fingers....

Can you open the help by entering its URL directly in the web browser? 
I'd poke around with that until you find what's wrong.  (i.e., can you open an image by typing in its path name? a css file?  anything within your EPPILIHELP folder?)

Hi Jane,
Yes, I can open the Help file with browser.  It is there and in the correct place. Seems like I don't have the NetTalk reference correct with paths, etc.

Hi,
Found that having the base page named "Index.htm' did not work well.  Re-named it to "index2.htm' and I got it to work under the web folder.  However, I am going to try to get it to serve out of its own folder under web\eppilihelp
At least I am getting somewhere.
