I recently formatted and reinstalled my laptop. Since then html-help function is not working properly. I can open the page, however, searching for any term or opening any link does not work. The Internet explorer just mentions an error on the page if I try to open a links and instead of searching it reloads the page. Reinstalling R did not help and now I am not sure if it is the IE, or R, or the java script. Any idea how I could get the html functions working? Thanks! Kerstin Gross
Is it html help or the search in html help (as you mention java)? If the latter, please read the instructions and follow the link on the html search page (and if you can't see it, you are not using the current R). It is likely you don't have a JVM installed (since I suppose this is Windows and not MacOS on which you have `IE5'). If the former, then try setting your file associations again, or even installing another browser (Firefox is highly recommended).

I am running R 1.9.0 on Mac OSX 10.3.3. I have the same problem when I try to use the search engine within the R help html index page. If I use help.start() to open the index page, I can then use "?" to search html help pages, but this provides a more limited access to the help files. This above is true whether I am using RAqua or R(?) within ESS and Emacs. Hank Stevens On May 6, 2004, at 11:40 AM, Gross, Kerstin wrote:> I recently formatted and reinstalled my laptop.

I should have specified in my previous email that I have tried Safari (the Mac internet application) as well as Firefox 0.8 and IE5.2. I am running R 1.9.0 on Mac OSX 10.3.3.
