Description Roman Szarowski 1999-10-06 01:20:25 UTC 
Choosing any index word you will see help page. This action also highlighted the index word. If you are browsing online help (Prev, Next), highlighted index word disappears.

[jglick] In the JHelp architecture, there is a "help model" which should keep two things in synch: the ID (represented by the highlighted index word, for example, and may be null); and the URL in the
content browser. If you go to a URL with no index entry, it is supposed to turn off. I have tried to implement the synching correctly, but all IDs in the User`s Guide point to anchors, not pages (gene
rated that way by WebWorks, we cannot change this), and I think the web browser never indicates that it is going back to the exact same place (i.e. it does not keep track of the anchor). At some point
 I will try to check whether this is the problem (in which case it cannot and will not be fixed), or whether there is some other problem in the synch logic.

[rszarowski] I haven`t found any other problem at the moment. You said, what I expected.

Such problems should have long since disappeared (using Swing browser and
hand-authored HTML).
