Well, CHM pages won't show up in case you have no IE. Even if you don't use IE for browsing, you need to have an IE on your machine from Win95 second release, as it is tightly integrated, so we would like to build on the fact that IE is available, and there is no need to write code for other browsers. > Please do not enforce Microsoft's monopoly unless you're in their > payroll.

Yes, you can choose TXT, PDF, HTML, Palm formats, and maybe even "man" in the not so far future. If you choose CHM, you get some features, but those features are mainly provided by IE. That's it. > I'm beginning to run into sites that say "this site is made for IE 6, get > yourself a decent browser", it's a very sad attitude. Upgrading is also not > that simple.

We value every user input, so we decided to run a survey, and the results are posted online. You can see the stats: http://weblabor.hu/php-doc-chm/ieversion.html > Please remember that IE 5 has very limited support to XML and many people > have Java turned off in their browsers. As I have said before, I am not convinced with IE and XML compatibilities. And all our current code should work with IE4 with JS turned on. You are talking about JS probably, not about Java. We use no Java code... > I have it on, and there are some > things in the new CHM file already that don't work in my system. What things? Goba
