Example HELPLOCATION Parameter for an <OBJECT> Tag

The following HTML fragment shows an example <OBJECT> tag with the HELPLOCATION parameter pointing to a local directory in the Windows operating environment. The file name mainmenu.htm is the entry point into the help. In this example, the ellipses (...) represent additional attributes and parameters that are present in the <OBJECT> tag, depending on the settings that were in effect when the graph was created:

<OBJECT ID="GIDX"
CLASSID="CLSID:1B5127F3-66C3-11d3-8788-00C04F387B43"
...
>
...
<PARAM NAME="Helplocation" VALUE="file:///c:\v8_1\graphcontrol\mainmenu.htm">
Sorry, your browser does not support the object tag used for the ActiveX control.
</OBJECT>

In a UNIX file system, you would use all forward slashes in the path:

<PARAM NAME="Helplocation" VALUE="file:///u/v8_1/graphcontrol/mainmenu.htm">

You can also point the HELPLOCATION parameter to an Internet server, using the HTTP protocol for specifying a valid URL:

<PARAM NAME="Helplocation"
       VALUE="http://www.myCo.com/v8_1/graphcontrol/mainmenu.htm">
