Testing the Finished HelpSet
You can
view
your HelpSet the same way you viewed the Aviation HelpSet in the
preceding chapter. Start the
hsviewer
utility that comes with JavaHelp and
specify HelpSet.hs in the
MyJavaHelp directory as the HelpSet file.
Try out the different navigation components. If the HelpSet Viewer is
not already displaying the TOC, click the TOC tab to view it. Notice the
top-level directory image on the first line
in the TOC. This image is the
toplevel.gif file you copied to your
Images directory. Open a folder in the TOC, and
click one of the topics to display it in the content pane.
Now click the Index tab. In
the Find box, type the word
interests and then press the Enter or Return key.
Notice that JavaHelp highlights the entry in the index. Click any
index entry to display its corresponding topic in the content pane.
Congratulations! You (and JavaHelp) have just created a functional help system.
