Question

drop-down hotspots in snippet (.hts file) and mozilla firefox

Hello everyone

I use RH 9 and the output is Webhelp.

I've created snippets with drop-down hotspots inside. These snippets are then included in HTML pages.

After help generation, the drop-down hotspots are working with IE but not with Mozilla (some of them are working but a few only).

Some are working in some HTML pages but not in another pages using the same snippet.

Is DHTML compatible with Mozilla Firefox ?

    Hi,

    Yes, Dropdowns are compatible with Firefox. DHTML effects other than dropdown/expandspot/popup may not work however. Do you use any other events?

    Is this project upgraded from a lower version of RH? If so, make a backup of your project and run Tools > Update DHTML effects in topics.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your answer.

    My project is upgraded from RH 8 and I update DHTML.

    My problem still remains.

    There are images in the dropdown text.

    Is the problem linked with snippet ? The dropdown are included in snippet.

    When I generate my project using the prompt command, there’s still this message : “no baggage file description”. What’s it mean ?

    Cordialement

    Hmm,

    Please check the following threads:

    I don't think i'tll solve the dropdown problem, but it may help with the baggage file warning. Also check that the file rhbag.apj is available in your project root.

    For the dropdowns: Can you post the HTML of a snippet so we can see what's going on? Try the FireBug extension for firefox. Do you receive any errors in the console of Firebug when you click a dropdown? Alternatively, can you share the project with me so I can take a look in the FF console? You can PM me for my e-mail.

    Greet,
