This document describes the steps that must be followed to run the jHelp demonstration applets, presented in jHelpFrame.html and jHelpPanel.html
The only requirement for running the demonstration applets is the presence of a Java appletviewer, JavaSoft version 1.1.3 preferred (although jHelp will run under 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 appletviewers, such as Symantec's.) The applets have also been tested with Sun's HotJava 1.0 browser. Do not run the demo applets with MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or Communicator 4.02 with the JDK 1.1 preview patch.
jHelp 2.0 will not run under a Java 1.02 appletviewer.
The jHelp.htmlHelpFrame demonstration applet is launched with jHelpFrame.html. Log into the examples/applets subdirectory, and at a system prompt enter
appletviewer jHelpFrame.html
Similarly, the jHelp.htmlHelpPanel demonstration is launched with jHelpPanel.html. Log into the examples/applets subdirectory, and at a system prompt enter
appletviewer jHelpFrame.html
You may also choose to test these applets locally with HotJava. Start HotJava, and then use the Files/Open menu item to select either of the above HTML files in the file selection dialog box.
The HTML documents used in the demo applets are contained in applets.jar. Extract the jar to examine the documents (in the helpdocs directory of the jar.)
