How to get a red 'NEW' asterisk in Webhelp TOC?

I wondered if it wasn't possible to get 'red new asterisks' by editing some code in the output files.

First, I created the necessary images with a red asterisk.Then, I searched all files containing a reference to the TOC images. The files WHLSTT*.HTM and WHRES_XML.JS contain the names of the images.

The WHLSTT*.HTM are used in the TOC frame to display the TOC. For each TOC entry, they contain an A HREF line that includes the image. I changed the image filename for a particular TOC entry in all the WHLSTT*.HTM files, but this had no effect in the WebHelp view. However, when WHLSTT*.HTM file is opened in a web browser, it shows the new image.

What's missing? I don't know, but I found some other files that contain references for NEW TOC items.

First one is the WHRES_XML.JS. It contains an ICONS section with the names of the images, but also some lines for 'new' TOC entries.

Example:

<icons>

     <book open=\"black_book_open.gif\" close=\"black_book_closed.gif\" />

     <item  local=\"black_page.gif\" remote=\"wht_toc4.gif\" />

     <newbook open=\"\" close=\"\" />

     <newitem  local=\"\" remote=\"\" />

</icons>

Then there is a file WHTHOST.JS that contains a function to set icons.

function setIcon(sType,sURL)

{

if(sType=="BookOpen")

  giBookOpen=sURL;

else if(sType=="BookClose")

  giBookClose=sURL;

else if(sType=="Item")

  giBookItem=sURL;

else if(sType=="RemoteItem")

  giURLItem=sURL;

else if(sType=="NewBookClose")

  giNewBookClose=sURL;

else if(sType=="NewBookOpen")

  giNewBookOpen=sURL;

else if(sType=="NewItem")

  giNewBookItem=sURL;

else if(sType=="NewRemoteItem")

  giNewURLItem=sURL; 

}

So, that's what I found out. I did not succeed to add new asterisks manually, but maybe someone else could give it a try?
