Drop Down Text Effects

Hi there.

I'm created topics currently that have drop down text effects in them.

Basically, I have a title which has got a little image next to it (a plus expand sign image).

When you click either the image of the title text, the drop down text appears as intended.

Is there anyway I can get it, so that when you click either the text or the image, the image changes to be a minimise image?

The screenshots below demonstrate what I mean a bit clearer.

Thanks very much,


Craig

    Hi there

    If you are using RoboHelp 8, you can edit your style sheet to include "Twisty" images that do this.

    If you are using an earlier version of RoboHelp, fellow Community Professional Peter Grainge has info on his site at the link below.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Do they work in CHM files?

    Hi Rick,

    I did add both of the images to the baggage files, as well as the javascript file.

    When I preview the topic, it works correctly.


    When I view it properly, its a blank image

    Regards,

    Craig


    Hi Craig

    All I can say is that the script or whatever simply isn't finding the image if you are viewing from the compiled CHM. When you compile, you need to ensure that everything is in the place it needs to be. For example, maybe you have a folder in your project and you added the image to the folder. But in reality, it's looking for the image in the project root. Because the image is in the folder, it cannot be found.

    I'd suggest a double-check of things just to be certain.

    Cheers... Rick
