Hi, we want to include links to some topics via a button, via the See Also process described by Rick in: https://forums.adobe.com/message/8748052#access_token=eyJ4NXUiOiJpbXNfbmExLWtleS0xLmNlciIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJmZyI6Il…

However, we'd like the topics themselves to open in a popup window if possible. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Laurie

Hi Laurie

When you are configuring the See Also link, you do have an option to direct the output to a new browser window,

But this is different than a popup.

Unfortunately, without some odd coding calisthenics, I'm not sure it's going to be possible to coax this behavior.

Still pondering it though. If I think of something, I'll certainly post back. Hopefully others will have some interesting ideas as well.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Rick.

We want these topics presented differently from the rest of the help. I did create a different master page to apply a border and background colour, but it would be ideal if it displayed separately/on top of the main help.

Hmm, I wonder if there’s any traction using a dropdown hotspot, which could have a background colour, then inserting the topic links manually as popup links. Not as clean as a See Also solution, but the manual effort wouldn’t be too onerous because the dropdown could be copied to the few places it would be required.

Thanks for any creative cookery suggestions, but I have a feeling the master page may be the extent of our flavouring (ok I’ll stop with the cooking analogies now, obviously it’s dinner time).

Hey, I live for cooking analogies! And I do like the drop-down idea.

One thought might be to create a topic that would appear in the drop down. Put links in the topic that are popup links to the other topics. Then insert an inline frame into the drop-down. That way all you would have to do is update the topic that appears in the inline frame.

Just pondering outside the box a bit.

Another possibility might be to use a snippet.

Cheers... Rick
