Firefox can't find the file at ...

I think this is an old issue, but, I just installed ZBasic 2.1 over top of 2.0.
From the IDE's help menu, when chosing the ZBasic Reference document, with FireFox as my default browser, I get

Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Program Files/ZBasic/doc/HTML/1.html.

same error if I go to the folder and click on ZBasicRef.html

There's no folder named HTML in the doc folder.
There is a folder called ZBasicRef that has the individual gif, png, and html files.

As a work-around, I just open the pdf version.

Same here with fresh install of 2.1

ZBasicRef.html exists, but Firefox gives the same error you mentioned when trying to open that file. I, too used the .pdf version.

I see that the content of the file doc/ZBasicRef.html in the ZBasic installation directory is incorrect. I believe that you can rectify the problem if you load that file into a text editor and replace the content with the following:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Frameset//EN" "http&#58;//www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/frameset.dtd">
<html dir="LTR" lang="en">
<head>
  <title>ZBasic Reference Manual</title>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<frameset cols="180,*">
  <frame name="contents" src="ZBasicRef/contents.html" scrolling="auto">
  <frame name="main" src="ZBasicRef/ZBasicRef1.html">
</frameset>
</html>

thanks. that fixed it. Just a mix-up in the distributed files on these (corrected) path names:

<frame name="contents" src="ZBasicRef/contents.html" scrolling="auto">
<frame name="main" src="ZBasicRef/ZBasicRef1.html">

Thanks for confirming the solution.

The title tag is different as well.
