Question

Hiding the navigation pane in multiscreen layout

I am creating a small project which is just a supervisory page to launch other projects, and the nav pane is not needed.  Is there a way to prevent it from showing?

There was a thread in the WebHelp forum, which seemed relevant but I could not pursue it properly

- thanks -

WebHelp skins and Multiscreen HTML5 layouts are very different animals and the simplest option would be to create an HTML page created in Dreamweaver or similar. If you want that page developed in Rh for some reason, perhaps just to keep the theme, then it will require editing using a different editor from the one used for webhelp. It is way more complex and you may find you need to use someone who specialises in that work. Willam van Weelden is based in Holland and he would be my recommendation. Depending on what you want to spend, Willam could alternatively design a unique layout for your range of products.

Peter is right, HTML5 is nothing like WebHelp.

Do you want to hide the pane but keep it in the output? Or do you want to create a layout that has no navigation pane at all?

You can get the first option with a context sensitive help call (that hides the navigation pane by default.) For the second, you can remove the navigation pane from the layout. How you do that depends on the layout you're using.

Greet,

Willam

Thanks Peter and Willam,

It's not a huge deal, but if the nav pane could at least be minimized on opening the page, it would look better.

The opening screen is accessed as a URL, so I am not sure about a context sensitive help call.

We are compiling for all the multi-screen devices. Would you say the second option is a minor or major undertaking?
