Drop-downs stop working

We have the same set of drop-downs in many of our topic headers. They function as designed when you first access the help system. They stop functioning when you navigate to a different topic. The cursor still changes to the pointed finger when it hovers over the drop-down, but clicking it does nothing.

Also, how do I access the drop-down list?

RH2015 12.0.1.338

Wow. Also note that the drop-down text for both images displays in the same area. I assume that's because the Tell Me More image isn't in an anchored frame and instead is positioned using those spaces in the HTML you mentioned yesterday.

Edit: Scratch that. This was done in Firefox. When I opened the file in Explorer it worked fine. Weird


For anyone that may be following this thread, Tom shared his project with me and after several hours of testing and examination I believe I've figured out what the problem is. It has to do with the See Also control and the frame target attribute.

I've created a video for Tom to review and to try what I suggested to see if it's a fix.

Anxiously awaiting Tom's results.

Cheers... Rick

In addition to what Jeff has offered, can you elaborate on what you mean when you ask how you access the drop-down list? I'm not sure I even understand that.

Cheers... Rick

?Make sure you're all patched up - IIRC, there was a fix for dropdowns in one of the patches

Jeff,

I've been informed that our version of RH2015 was purchased quite recently, after the most recent patch. We should be up to date.
