In my experience, RoboHelp provides very limited support for JavaHelp.
Much of the HTML and CSS produced by RoboHelp cannot be correctly
displayed in a JavaHelp viewer. Your problem is with RoboHelp, not with
FrameMaker, fwiw. 

I generally do not recommend using RoboHelp as a JavaHelp authoring
tool. I have published a short article on the issues and alternatives at
http://www.knopf.com/tips/index.html. If for some reason you must use
RoboHelp, be sure to use an external editor like Dreamweaver or HomeSite
so that you can make sure to produce clean, valid HTML and CSS files.
