Creating Hotspots: How Do I Insert Raw HTML?

[resume-writer]

I'm trying to create hotspots for most (if not all) of my procedure titles. The hotspots work fine, but the hotspot text (drop-down Text Editor) can't be written in raw HTML. Is there a workaround? If not, is there a way for me to apply hotspots to specific HTML tags?

The content of the dropdowns appears immediately below the body tag for the page. You should be able to locate the dropdown there and work in html via the true code / html view of the topic.

Is there a reason you need to do this via the html rather than WYSIWYG?

Actually, besides what Peter said, the content of your hotspot is at the top of the body area, but note that RH has assigned an ID to that content. That ID is called where your popup link has been placed in the topic.

When editing the HTML in TrueCode mode, always be careful not to mix up those numbers if you have multiple hotspots in the same topic.


Good luck,
Leon

I can totally see how I could confuse the IDs as the location of the drop-down text is in a very strange location in the html. Also, I have multiple drop-down hotspots in the same topic. Thank you for the warning!

Thank you! I didn't look in that location as I was expecting the tag somewhere else. Thank you! I like the html/code view because I can see what's going on. The editor doesn't format as I expect sometimes, so I just prefer correcting the html rather than fight with the editor. Since my drop-down text includes nested lists, I'd just prefer to write in raw html. If I just had a para for drop-down text, then I'd use the editor because the editor seems to get that stuff right. Thank you.
