Using the docs.sun.com Web Site

Browsing Within Books on the docs.sun.com Site

The browsing features available for a book depend on its original format. The docs.sun.com site contains books published in three formats: XML, HTML, and PDF. This section describes the differences in the way each is browsed.

XML Books

When you browse to and open an XML-based book, a table of contents that contains links is displayed. You can click the link for the chapter, appendix, preface, glossary, or index to display that book element. You can then click the Shows an icon of a plus sign (+) that you can click to reveal more content for one item and Shows an icon of a negative sign (-) that you can click to conceal displayed content for one item icons to open and close these book elements. You can also click the Shows an icon of two plus signs (+) that you can click to reveal more content for all listed items and Shows an icon of two negative signs (-) that you can click to conceal the content of all listed items icons to open and close an entire book. You move from chapter to chapter or from section to section by clicking links.

HTML Books

When you browse to and open an HTML book, the initial, or “index” page of the book will be opened in a new browser window. The is because HTML books do not contain the docs.sun.com navigational features. To continue using docs.sun.com, you must return to the original browser window.

PDF Books

Some books are published only in PDF. When you browse to and open a book for which PDF is the only format available, you will be taken to a page with information about the size of the PDF file, and options for downloading it. How to Download and Print a PDF Document File on the docs.sun.com Site describes how to download and print PDF-only document files.
