Re: HTML Help

Please overlook my tardiness in replying to this thread but I've been
on vacation.

One oft-overlooked consideration when delivering online help via browsers
is that current browsers permit your targeted audience to disable Java
(Netscape and IE) and Active-X (IE) functions.

Java and Active-X controls offer the potential for bad people to do bad
things to one's PC. Because of this, some users are choosing to disable
Java, Active-X, and cookies functionality to better insulate themselves
from security concerns. If this is the case, key components of your Help
deliverables may be undeliverable. (Gulp.) Just bear this in mind.

Have a nice day.
