Turn on help

Turn on help

[srandby]

I am using the org-info.js script when I export an ORG file to html. 
Everything works great except I can't figure out how to turn on the help 
function so that the HELP link is active. I've looked through the 
org-info.js documentation (in which the HELP link is active) and found 
only that the help function is turned off by default. So how do I turn 
it on?

I'm sorry for the bad and outdated documentation for the script. The
HELP link should just work. It should show the same screen as when
pressing '?' i.e., the keyboard shortcuts.

Questions:

  - When did you update the script the last time?
  - Which Browser are you using?
  - What's in the third line of the script ( ... org-info.js, v.0.0...)?
  - Does '?' show the shortcut list?


Again, excuse me for the bad docs,


Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

I'm embarrassed to say that the help function works after all. I thought 
it didn't work because the HELP link isn't blue, it is black and the 
mouse doesn't indicate a link when the pointer is put on the HELP. I 
didn't think to try to click on it (DUH). So my only question is how do 
I make the HELP link blue?

I've tried this on Firefox 3 and Safari. Both give the black HELP link. 
I'm using v.0.0.6.9 of the script which I downloaded last week I 
believe. Typing '?' does show the shortcut list but the 'click here' 
gives a black 'here' instead of blue. You may visit my web site to see 
what I mean:

By the way, I don't think the documentation is bad or outdated. I'm very 
pleased with your script and the documentation. With your script and 
org-mode I'm able to maintain a nice website with one text file. My old 
site was a pain to maintain with all of its html files. After a few 
hours of transferring everything (well, I'm not quite finished) to one 
ORG file, I have a website that is far more sophisticated than the old 
site. Thank you very much for such a fantastic script.

The "click here" to return on the help page should like a link, as
well, shouldn't it?

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the fix. I changed the links in the org-info.js script itself 
and the HELP and 'click here' links work fine now. Ahh, the benefits of 
free software. You can modify the software however you wish!

I promise I'll fix it in the next version too :-D

Hope I'll find time to work on it by the end of next week - there was
the request for a dynamically created index based on tags too...



Have a good time,
