Configure skin to collapse, rather than hide, Help nav pane

Can it be done? Yes I think it can. It will require some tinkering in your output files though. Try the following:

(This is for RoboHelp 9, but previous versions should work but the line numbers may differ..)

1. Open whskin_frmset01.htm
2. Go to line 115 and replace oFrameset.cols = "0,*"; by oFrameset.cols = "50,*";.
3. Now go to the function isNAvPaneVisible()
4. Replace:

if (sPart2 != "*")

        {

            var n = parseInt(sPart2);

            if (n>0)

                bVisible = true;

        }

        else

        {

            if (sPart1 != "100%")

                bVisible = true;

        }

with:

if(sPart1 != "50") {

            bVisible = true;

        }

1. Save.
2. Make a backup of the modified file and past it in your output after you generate.

You can amend the value of 50 to get the width you desire.
