Hi,
I'm using RH 2015 and outputting to Responsive HTML5 output. I'd like to include a "Show Me" button in complex how-to topics that when clicked, opens a short mp4 video. Is this possible? I'm not a css whiz...I've attempted to create a button using Insert > HTML Form > Button but that seems like it just adds a button that has no meaning or purpose. Perhaps I'm missing a step to link to the mp4 file?
Thanks for any help or suggestions,

Thanks Willam--that's helpful information. However, I might be missing a step. I inserted a button (Insert > HTML Form > Button) but when I have the button selected, the DropDown Text on the Insert tab is not available.

This works for now, but perhaps there’s an easier method?

Sorry about the button with the DHTML. You may want to try with an image instead.
The method you use now is the easiest method in RoboHelp. To make it a little easier, you can copy and paste the formatted dropdown so you don't have to style it anew every time.

Thanks Willam! Great suggestion about using an image too, instead of all the effort involved with the style sheet to make text look like a button.
