Find Button
|
|
|
Symptom

The

|
|
|
Netscape Communicator 4.04 Windows
|
|
|
Find Button
|
|
|
Symptom
|
The
Find full text search button writes the hyperlinks to topics containing the search string to the selection frame, but clicking on those topics sometimes produces an error indicating the URL cannot be found. The specific symptom is a line wrap (spurious return) within the URL in the error message window. This problem occurs only when you have copied online help from the CD to a
long pathname on your hard disk or network drive, and when the URLs resulting from
Find are longer than 64 characters.
|
|
|
Workaround
|
When online help is on your hard disk: If the problem occurs when accessing help from your computer's hard disk, the workaround is to recopy the online help system to your hard disk with a
short pathname. For example:
C:\acis_help\ACIS.HTM
|
|
|
When help is on a network drive: If the problem occurs when accessing help from a network drive, such as via
nfs, the workaround is to shorten the total pathname length by mounting the help file system as a drive, and referencing help in the browser via that drive. For example:
file:\\\D|my_filesystem\ACIS.HTM
|
|
|
Fix
|
Use online help directly from the CD, or install Netscape 4.02 on your PC.
