Hi there

Normally with DHTML drop down text you simply type the text you want the user to click, then select across it and make a drop-down.

In your case, it would seem you (or someone) has typed "Show Me" as the text that is clickable?

So is your question to say that this is what you have done, but you want the behavior to somehow be that when the user clicks the text, instead of seeing "Show Me", you want it to change so that it would then read "Hide"? (until it was clicked and it would then again change to "Show Me")

I'm guessing that's possible, but it won't be a simple thing to change from inside RoboHelp. Unless, possibly you make the "text" a pair of simple images and you configure the images to be used as "Twisties".

Cheers... Rick

Thanks, Rick! I didn't know about twisties. On your advice I checked them out and, yeah, that's exactly what I needed!
