1.

On what browsers and operating systems WebHelp has tested extensively?

We tested it with versions of most browsers including Firefox 3.x+, IE 7+, Chrome, Safari, and iPod/iPhone. The JavaScript codes are mostly jquery plugins, so you’d want to check the jquery support matrix for details.

Apart from this demo, where can I find other demos or production deployments of WebHelp?

There are four production deployments provided in WebHelp wiki currently.

When building the webhelp output, I'm getting the following error. What's the reason for this?

[xslt] : Warning! file:/C:/Users/kasun/docbook-xsl-1.77.0/xhtml/autoidx.xsl:
            line 596: Attribute 'href' outside of element.
[xslt] : Warning! file:/C:/Users/kasun/docbook-xsl-1.77.0/xhtml/autoidx.xsl: 
            line 596: Attribute 'href' outside of element.

This happens if you haven't done the step 3 and 4 of webhelp build guide "Generating webhelp output" in the documentation. Basically, you need to correctly set the following folder paths.

xslt-processor-classpath=/usr/share/java/saxon-6.5.5.jar
xercesImpl.jar=/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar
xml-apis.jar=/usr/share/java/xml-apis.jar

4.

Does WebHelp Indexer can index HTML transformation as well?

Yes, WebHelp supports HTML transformations as well in addition to XHTML.

I need more information about webhelp-indexer. Where can I find it?

The DocBook Webhelp Indexer is based on the HTMLSearch plugin for DITA. See HTMLSearch documentation for more information.
