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.
