Subject: Accessible Html Help compilers
No previous message | Next message →
Hi.
a website developer, and wanting to develop help projects, and tried various
help compilers, but none seem to work very well with jaws 6.10.
what i tried as a assignment, was to develop html files, images, and then
import them, create a help project, then import all my graphics, create
table of contents, index, and several controls, like a stop list search,
splash screen, and a related topics controls.
any accessible products on the market for the website developer or
programmer?
let me know, if you can help me.
cheers Marvin.

Marvin,
I've used HelpLogic from Electric Butterfly for HTML help pages.
http://www.ebutterfly.com/helplogic/index.php
First you create HTML pages in something like Dreamweaver. You can add
all of the accessibility information you want in the HTML because
HelpLogic simply copies the page as is into the help system. You can
also create links between pages and they will work just fine in the
final help files produced. The software simply helps you create the
Table of Contents.
On the downside, it does create the final output in frames. Also, the
TOC is just a bunch of items in a table as opposed to an ordered list.
If you want to see an example, the help files for our site were built
with it.

The software is actually for much more than just HTML help. It helps
create OS X and Windows help files too.
It does come in Mac and Windows versions.
Hope this helps.
Greg
