Question

Can I import an existing topic page into a new topic page?

I'm working in RH HTML 9 and am working on a project where there will be at least 2 versions of help documentation. One version for basic functionality, to be used by a novice user and another for advanced functionality, to be used by a advanced user. The basic functionality needs to viewable by both the novice and the advanced users with the advanced user being able to find help on a few more windows/fields/options. The programmer asked if an existing topic can be imported to another topic. I am already using conditional tags to exclude certain topic from the novice user version. Another way I could do this is to provide a link from the advanced user page to the novice user page.

Thank you,

    Hi there

    Yes. You would accomplish this by inserting an inline frame (IFRAME). You configure the inline frame to present the topic you wish to include.

    Thank you Rick. Another question, if you have time-In my case the topic I am putting in the iframe is fairly lengthy, so I don't see any advantage to the iframe over just cutting and pasting the text. Is there a way an iframe can open in another browser window? In the alternative, I think I'll just use links so the advanced user can link to the novice user help topic, for the shared functionality.

    Thanks again,
