Re: [platform-ua-dev] Enabling/Disableing JavaScript 
Hi Mladen,
The newsgroup eclipse.platform.ua might be a better place to post about things like your situation. That's because more people who have help *content* seem to be watching that newsgroup than they follow this mailing list. Because your situation seems to involve how content is behaving in the help system, I'd recommend posting to that newsgroup so that people who might have run across the same behavior can see your posting and might be able to comment.
These days, the platform-ua-dev mailing list seems more oriented to people who are developing methods and technology extending the Eclipse help system componentry itself.
FWIW, I did a Bugzilla search of Eclipse-Platform-User Assistance for "JavaScript". While there were a number of results returned, it's hard to say if your issue has already been reported as a bug because you haven't provided any code snippets of the JavaScript that isn't working for you. Can you at least say what the JavaScript is that's inside your documentation files that is giving an error? What does the problem behavior look like? I mean, is it that the content is not rendered the same in the 3.3.1.1 help view as it was rendered in the 3.2.1 help view, or are there actual error messages thrown? If there are error messages, can you post to the newsgroup what those error messages are?
My personal opinion is that if you have a doc plug-in that works when dropped into a 3.2.1 system that now doesn't work in a 3.3.1.1 system, then that is most likely a regression. However, if the doc plug-in was using some internal API that changed between 3.2.1 and 3.3.1.1, then the behavior is unsupported and there's no reason to expect it would continue to work across versions. It is impossible to tell which is the real picture without you providing the JavaScript in the content files that is no longer working. 

Best regards,
Lee Anne

Hello,
can anybody confirm running JavaScript with Eclipse 3.3.1.1? Unfortunately I did not have the time to finish my experiment of switching plugins and hopefully identify the one or couple of plugins that cause me the misbehavior. As mentioned the help files I use are exactly the same and in 3.2.1 is working the JavaScript while in 3.3.1.1 is not. Is there another list to which I should expand my questions if getting outside of the UA group? Regards, 
Mladen

Hello,
Is there a way to enable or disable the java script in the internal eclipse help browser? I have help documentation that has working java script in Eclipse 3.2.1 and same documentation is not working the javascript with 3.3.1.1 I have the following plugins Eclpise 3.2.1 org.eclipse.help.appserver_3.1.100.v20060602.jar 
org.eclipse.help.base_3.2.1.R321_v20060822.jar
org.eclipse.help.ui_3.2.0.v20060602.jar
org.eclipse.help_3.2.1.R321_v20060920.jar
org.eclipse.help.webapp_3.2.1.R321_v20060803
Eclipse 3.3.1.1 org.eclipse.help.appserver_3.1.200.v20070510.jar 
org.eclipse.help.base_3.3.1.v20070813_33x.jar
org.eclipse.help.ui_3.3.1.v20070726_33x.jar
org.eclipse.help_3.3.1.v20070726_33x.jar
org.eclipse.help.webapp_3.3.1.v20070823_33x I still did not have the time to switch all plugins from 3.2.1 into 3.3.1.1 and see if the JavaScript starts working again. 
I was wondering if someone is aware of any issue
Regards, 
Mladen Milev
