On the road, need local CHMs

Post by supermike »

I'm going on the road and may not be able to catch wireless Internet all the time. I've managed to find CHM help files for PHP5 and MySQL, but now need to get CHMs for DHTML and CSS. Anyone have a hyperlink on the web for such a thing, and that isn't more than a year old?

It's also the most efficient help format to be used on Linux as well, and they have several viewers depending on which window manager platform you use, as well as a Firefox add-on. I can quickly browse and search and hyperlink around in the CHM as a reference book that's better than a PDF, in my opinion, and loads and operates much faster than a PDF.

I also hear that some people can scan a website with a Linux-based command-line tool (which I've yet to find) that can convert the HTML of the website into a CHM file.
