New Button in Skin Editor

Question

(RH 8, WebHelp)Hi everybody,I made a new Button using the RH8 skin editor in the horizontal navigation pane of my web help. Clicking the button makes the main content area of the webhelp to show a certain page. It works, but I have 2 problems:1) the clicked button is not selected. It simply stays unselected and depending on whatever button was active before that button stays selected. This is clearly not a desired behaviour.2) the left nav pane doesn't update itself reagarding the new content (topic) in the main content area.I have no idea how to fix this easily. Can you help, plz?Thanx a lot.

Hi thereSorry, but that's the nature of the beast.Here's the deal. With the TOC/Index/Glossary/Search, when you click the Toolbar button you are altering the navigation pane. Thus the button shows as being "selected" because that's the active pane. But a custom button doesn't change the pane. Therefore there is no need to show the button as being selected, because one of the other panes (TOC/Index/etc) is always visible.You may wish to submit an enhancement request. Who knows, maybe they will build it in at some future point.Cheers...
