HTML Help Workshop - Is it possible to use CSS or JavaScript within a .CHM file?

Question

I'm in the process of creating .chm files and was curious to know if these options are available?

Answer 1

Of course you can use CSS. JavaScript not in all cases. See HTMLHelp - Linking.

Make sure your design.css is inside you project level structure and added to the [FILES] section of your HHP project file. You can open this *.hhp file with e.g. Notepad++ to add files. If the files are listed in the [FILES] section the compiler includes them to the CHM file.
