question 1: what jquery version is your API browser based on? Latest?
question 2: it might be useful to integrate some "update" logic (a simple indication that a new version is available on the CHM splash page maybe?)
question 3: a chm file is good, yet i 'm dreaming of a desktop widget, that would function a la "Launchy/ quicksilver": when hitting alt+space, it pops up a search box, where i enter a search term, suggestions matches are shown on each key stroke, hitting enter shows the relevant page. Would the API format you use be adaptable to do that?
But it does include functions from 1.2. Timestamp from the xml is
included in the footer.

A chm is just a compressed HTML pages with table of contents and
index. So I don't think it can do such thing :-D.

I have no idea, but google desktop search can index chm files (or at
least there is a plugin for that).

Have a look at the following article for a fairly simple way to alert
users when a new version of the .chm file is available.
Hi Pete, thanks for the article. That is cool. A simpler way is to
include an image that shows the latest version. But I don't think such
thing is necessary since the xml files which this chm is build is not
updated often enough (last update is Dec 21, 2007). Also I do not like
if chm files connect online, it will usually slow down opening the
page.
