Help with first MobiPocket ebook creation

YugiDad · 05-21-2010, 09:36 AM

Hi All,

I am trying to create an indexed listing (using the dictionary format) of cards with the lookup based on the card name and each entry having several pieces of information about the card. When I run the Mobipocket Creator it creates the ebook but when I use "lookup a word" under the contents menus I get the error

Could not open C:\path to file (window.index_search(",'Alphabetical lookup'," 'none'))

I am guessing this is an easy fit but I do not know enough HTML to be sure.

Based on their website I have this code at the top of the text file

<html>
<head>
<title>Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Reference</title>
</head>
<body>
<guide> <reference type="Find" title="Look Up Word" onclick= "index_search('', 'Alphabetical lookup', '', 'none')" /> </guide>

thanks for any help

Assuming you're looking at this page: http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/articl...e=indexing.htm

Then (unless I've missed someting) you've got the syntax of the reference entry badly wrong.

Something like

<reference type="Find" title="Look Up Word" onclick= "index_search()"/>

seems to be what you need.
