html manuals

[hilz <hs...@hotmail.com>]

Hi all.
I am trying to use the "Derby Reference Manual", HTML book, and the 
links inside it do not work. When clicking on any of the items in the 
table of content at the top of the file, nothing happens. I expect it to 
take me to that section.

I tried it in both Firefox and I.E.
Is this a known issue?
Is there a solution?

Yes, this is a known issue, see DERBY-753:

No simple solution that I know of. If you are looking at fixing the 
issue once and for all, the discussion at
http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewTopic.jtp?topic=1193141&tview=dump
may be of interest (explains to some degree why it has not been fixed 
yet). Volunteers are always appreciated :)

The work-around I recommend is using the "HTML Pages" manuals instead, 
since the links there work. Others may have found other solutions...
