I think, but I'm a newbie, that your problem is that you put index.html in OSXGeoCalcHelp/html/ folder but you tell in the plist that your CFBundleHelpBookFolder is OSXGeoCalcHelp.

I know this has been asked several times. I have read the threads but still I can't figure out what is wrong with my help implementation.

I put all the help files in a folder with the following structure:

<Picture 1.pdf>

index.html is a very simple file containing the following:

<html>
<head>
<meta name="AppleTitle" content="OSXGeoCalc Help">
<META NAME="AppleIcon" CONTENT="OSXGeoCalcHelp/graphics/icon-16.png">
<title>OSXGeoCalc Help</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<h1>Welcome to OSXGeoCalc Help!</h1>
</body>

</html>


I added the OSXGeoCalcHelp folder to my Resources folder using XCode: project -> add to project -> create folder references for any added folders

I then modified the target's info.plist and added the following:

<key>CFBundleHelpBookFolder</key>
<string>OSXGeoCalcHelp</string>
<key>CFBundleHelpBookName</key>
<string>OSXGeoCalc Help</string>

When I run my app and choose help, the app opens help viewer but a blank window is displayed.

I am running 10.3.8 and XCode 1.5

I have been fighting with this for the last 5 hours. Apple's integrated help system is not as intuitive as Apple claims to be.

thanks for your help
