Re: Help different when using different browsers?

Peter, today I love you.  

I didn't know you could change the browser used to display the WDSC help and
being I hate using IE for WDSC help (Ctl + F functionality is klunky) I can
now use FireFox easily!

For those that want to do the same:
Window->Preferences->Help
Change the "Custom Browser command:" value to "C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\firefox.exe" %1, or wherever your alternate browser resides.  I also
selected the box "Always use external browsers".

Thanks again Peter,
Aaron Bartell

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Help different when using different browsers?

Hi group,

I have been experimenting with different web browsers, because I find that
FireFox 1.5.0.7 has been kind of slow lately.

Running on WinXP Pro SP1, I found that Opera 9.02 is slightly faster to
start up, but lacks many of the handy extensions I use in FireFox.

When I switched the help browser for WDSCi (Lite), I noticed that I get a
different left-pane list of subjects when I use FF versus Opera.

This is the TOC in FireFox:

TurnOver
TurnOverSVN
QuantumDB User's Guide
Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter
EMF Programmer's Guide
EMF Service Data Objects (SDO) Programmer's Guide Extending Hyades Log and
Trace Analyzer Profiling Tool JDT Plug-in Developer Guide Java Development
User Guide PDE Guide Platform Plug-in Developer Guide Workbench User Guide
Guide to WebDAV and FTP Remote System Explorer Developer Guide Remote System
Explorer User Guide Introduction to WebSphere Development Studio Client for
iSeries Developing iSeries server applications Developing Java applications
Detecting and analyzing runtime problems Testing and publishing applications
to a server Connecting to Linux, UNIX, Windows, and iSeries servers Working
in a team environment 

But in Opera, this is what I get:

 TurnOver
 TurnOverSVN
 QuantumDB User's Guide
 Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter
 EMF Programmer's Guide
 EMF Service Data Objects (SDO) Programmer's Guide  Extending Hyades  Log
and Trace Analyzer  Profiling Tool  JDT Plug-in Developer Guide  Java
Development User Guide  PDE Guide  Platform Plug-in Developer Guide
Workbench User Guide  Guide to WebDAV and FTP  Remote System Explorer
Developer Guide  Remote System Explorer User Guide  Introduction to
WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries  Installing and migrating
Navigating and customizing the workbench  Developing iSeries server
applications  Developing Web applications and services  Developing portals
and portlets  Developing Java applications  Developing data access
applications  Developing EGL applications  Building XML applications
Detecting and analyzing runtime problems  Testing and publishing
applications to a server  Debugging applications  Connecting to Linux, UNIX,
Windows, and iSeries servers  Working in a team environment  Troubleshooting
and support  Reference  Glossary  Rational Software Architect

I double-checked this by pasting the help URL from one browser to the other,
but the result remains the same: different TOC's.

FWIW, Internet Exploder 6.0 gives the same TOC as FF.

Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
