OmniHelp with Google Chrome

[Jeff Coatsworth]

There is workaround, but it involves the user setting a command line instruction to allow opening of local Webhelp files. See the Adobe forum for the instruction.

Currently, *no* form of WebHelp loads from a local
copy in Chrome, because of a restriction Chrome
(and only Chrome) imposes on JavaScript.  The CSS
has nothing to do with it.

However, OmniHelp *will* load when run from a
server, or the Web.  To see that, try:
  http://www.omsys.com/dcl/ohusergd/
which opens in a new window.  Chrome is very slow 
loading, but it gets there eventually.  Use Firefox 
if at all possible, or IE, Opera, Safari, or Linux
Konqueror.  All work with both local and network 
copies, as do many more.
