In the html docs on classes there are a bunch of "help" URL icons that
can be clicked. However, when I try this I get:
OmniWeb doesn't natively understand "help" URLs, and has no plug-in
currently loaded to deal with them.
So, is there a plug-in I can get? I tried to copy the html doc over to
another drive and tried to get it to run on Netscape, but no go there.
Those URLs are for Apple's Help Viewer.
/System/Library/CoreServices/Help Viewer.app
For that matter, what am I missing here; anything important?
Copying the definitions to the clipboard (pasteboard) or executing some
AppleScript (security risk!).
Help Viewer only executes AppleScripts stored on your local hard drive,
so I don't think it's much (or any?) of a security risk. Part of the
decision to not yet implement execution of remote AppleScripts in Help
Viewer was in consideration of the security issues involved.
If you are concerned though, feel free to submit your feedback. I'm not
sure what the appropriate way of voicing concern over security is, but
I'm sure if you file a bug, it will get routed to the right folks.
