Running a compiled help file from the Web
You can add a link to a compiled help file to a page on a Web site. When a user clicks the link a dialog box will appear that gives them the option of saving the compiled help file to their hard disk or opening it from the directory where it's located.
To open a compiled help file from a Web page or topic file
- Create an HTML file.
- Use the following syntax to open the compiled help (.chm) file from your HTML file:
<A HREF="file name.chm">Link text</a>
where file name.chm is the name of the compiled help file, and Link text is the text link.
- Make sure that the compiled help file you want to link to is located in the same directory as the topic file you are linking from.
Note
- If the compiled help file you are linking to is in a different directory than the topic you are linking from, you will need to enter the path to the compiled help file. For example, if the help file is located in a directory on the Web, you would need to enter the full URL including the HTTP address,
<A HREF="http://www.sample.com/example.chm">
