Adding documents to the help system

JavaScript enhancements

Some SCO documentation HTML files include a few lines of JavaScript code to fix a couple of limitations in Netscape 3.0. These limitations are:

Frames do not keep separate history lists. This makes navigating in two frames difficult.
Netscape does not support the HTML <LINK rel=contents> element that lets the browser automatically help the user find the table of contents for a particular file.

The following lines of JavaScript code placed in the <HEAD> element of each HTML file overcome these limitations:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
<!--
var Contents = "/topicID/CONTENTS.html"
if ( parent.RightHistory != null ) parent.RightHistory(document.URL)
// -->
</SCRIPT>

The Contents variable provides a URL to the table of contents file, which will appear in the left frame when the user clicks on the Contents button.
The RightHistory code adds the document to the right-frame history implemented in JavaScript.
Replace RightHistory with LeftHistory for table of contents (CONTENTS.html) files.
