Doc-To-Help & HyperText Studio use javascript. AuthorIt and Help
& Manual ... I'm not certain. They have used plain-text popups in the
project I converted, but plain text may have been the default option
for an HLP import (and I didn't change any defaults). I believe AIT
does offer formatted popups, and I would suspect they use
javascript to accomplish this.
At any rate, the D2H and HTS javascript does not seem to be
susceptible to an error upon double-clicking (at least during my
unofficial 20 second test :)
