While WebHelp has been tested, and works well, on a wide variety of browsers (Internet Explorer 2.0 and later, Netscape Navigator 2.0 and later, Opera, HotJava, and WebTV) we recommend always using the latest version. The following information summarizes recommended platforms and browsers for WebHelp.
Recommended browsers, depending on platform, for WebHelp:
Platform: |
Browser: |
Windows 98 |
Internet Explorer 4.0 or later (Windows 98 ships with Internet Explorer
4.x) |
Windows 95 |
Internet Explorer 3.0 or later |
Windows 3.1* |
Internet Explorer 4.0 or later |
Windows 2000 |

Internet Explorer 3.0 or later |
Macintosh |

* Use short (8 characters) file names for all of your project files because Windows 3.1 does not support long file names.
Note: WebHelp displays HTML Lists for older browsers that lack robust Java or Dynamic HTML support.
