At the moment we use the codebase to determine the location of the help folder.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'codebase', as that parameter doesn't appear in the HTML file used to start the key. I assume you mean the 'archive' parameter, which specifies the location of the applet.
I agree that this parameter should also determine the location of the help file. The problem is that it doesn't. The location of the help file is currently
lucid_player/help/default.htm
relative to the HTML file used to start the key. It should be
help\default.htm
relative to the folder containing the jar files.
... you will be able to share one applet jar/help copy between multiple keys
That's what I'm trying to do, but the default Lucid folder structure is inconsistent with the structure of my existing Web site. By setting the 'archive' and 'key' parameters, I can share the applet jar files and access the key. The only problem is the location of the help files.
