Hi

our help docs contain a number of external URLs.
No problem in handling them when the docs are displayed in the help browser.

However when the docs are displayed in the Help View,
then the behavior is hardly predictable (for a user).

a link like http://www.eclipse.org opens in-place in the Help View

however if we add <a .. target="_blank" > so that the link opens in a
new window from the help browser,
then in in the Help View the link just does not work at all .

a target like
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cicsts/v4r1/topic/c om.ibm.cics.ts.doc/eyua6/REMTRANtab.html

does not work from the help view

while the https version of the above
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cicsts/v4r1/topic/c om.ibm.cics.ts.doc/eyua6/REMTRANtab.html
opens in the external browser (not the help browser).

Is it possible to give all external links the 'open in external browser'
or 'open in the help browser' behavior ?

Edoardo
