Contains only documentation changes for organizing the information for use by either web or "installed application" developers. Also includes additional sample ePublisher projects.
Release 4.0.7
- To enable better browser window reuse, when using the Javascript API, make the following overrides to your master project (applies only to ePublisher release 9.2.2).

window.name = "WWHFrame";
- These are the HTML files to override in your ePublisher master project:

Release 4.0.6
Major features of this release:
Support for WebWorks Help 4.0 and 5.0 help sets
- Internet Explorer 7.0 support
Notes
As for additional information, it isn't so much that IE7 drops the query string as it no longer reposts it to a server.
So, consider this case:
http://www.webworks.com/show.aspx?message=cool
If you enter that on a website, IE posts:
http://www.webworks.com/show.aspx?message=cool
If a security dialog pops up, then here's where things differ:
- IE6:
Reposts http://www.webworks.com/show.aspx?message=cool
Posts http://www.webworks.com/show.aspx
Because you wouldn't want the server to perform an action twice, now would you.
This is great for servers, but lousy for file systems:
file:///C:/index.html?context=help&topic=me
If you enter that on a website, IE posts:
file:///C:/index.html?context=help&topic=me
If a security dialog pops up, then here's where things differ:
- IE6:
Reposts file:///C:/index.html?context=help&topic=me
Posts file:///C:/index.html
Not so great for context sensitive help.
