Question

Changing WebHelp layout from horizontal to vertical

I would like to use a vertical layout in WebHelp similar to that offered in the vertical skins for FlashHelp.

I have found that the skn file in !SkinSubFolder! for the project contains two instances of frameset cols = "220,*": changing these to frameset rows = "220,*" seems to achieve the desired effect, and I have not yet found any glitches with the output (at least with IE6 as browser). Can the experts in this forum advise whether this would seem to be a safe modification of the skin, or am I being naive?

frma,
I am trying to change the horizontal layout to vertical for WebHelp, too - when I do what you said below, the topics are underneath the the TOC (which is good) but I lose the nav bar altogether (SEarch, Index, icons, etc.)? Did you have this problem, too?

Very interested in hearing your experiences with this.

Thanks,
Barbara

Hi Barbara

I don't remember having that problem (the project was completed more than two years ago, and memory isn't what it used to be...). The nav bar was certainly there at the top of the panel.

frma -

Looks like a great tweak to me... Webhelp refers to the frame names or numbers, which you are not changing.

I'd say, go for it!
