"org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.BrowserDisplayer" will display some string and link, but it always displays "??" on Solaris and Linux platform. I tried on JDK1.5 and 1.4.2, but I got the same results. When I tried JDK1.6, it can displayed properly. On Windows and Mac, it's OK. For example, in usersguide/javahelp/org/netbeans/modules/usersguide/getstart/keyconcepts.html these lines should display "http://ant.apache.org/" on online help, but it always "??". See screenshot. <p><object classid="java:org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.BrowserDisplayer"> <param name="content" value="http://ant.apache.org/"> <param name="text" value="<html><u>http://ant.apache.org/</u></html>"> <param name="textFontSize" value="medium"> <param name="textColor" value="blue"> </object>
