Configuring the Browser for Online Help

The online Help system is a browser-based HTML Help system designed for viewing in the Firefox and Mozilla Web browsers. You can use any of the following browsers:

•Firefox version 1.5 or 2.0

•Mozilla version 1.7

Although online Help might work in Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later, it is not tested in this browser.

Important:

When you use online Help from within the GUI, the directory containing the browser executable file must be in the search path specified by your UNIX or Linux $PATH variable.

The default browser is Firefox. To use a different browser, change the

gui_online_browser variable in your [.synopsys_icc_gui.tcl .synopsys_dv_gui.tcl] setup file. You can also change the browser for the current session by setting this variable from within the GUI. For example

set gui_online_browser “mozilla”

The choices are firefox or mozilla.
