Button that displays local html web content within same page

Jul 6, 2012 12:18 AM

Tags: #button #web_content #local_html

Is there a way to have a button action that would display local html web content inside a frame on the same page as the button without having to jump to another article? In otherwords, I'd like to create a series of navigation buttons on a single ID page and link those buttons to different html pages that would flow into a window on that same page when published to DPS.

    Could you please describe how to put web content frames in multistates? Would this work for local web content that is linked to a HTMLResources folder? Thanks

    Sorry, but this is not working for me. Could you please describe your steps for creating local web content frames in object states and linking to nav buttons? I appreciate your reply.

    Sorry for the late reply!

     

    So I didn't try it with Local HTML but I did try it with live sites,

     

    Create a web content overlay as normal and link it to your local HTML file - this may only work proplery after you've bundled the stack folder with the HTML resources inside

     

    do this say two or three times, and make a Multistate object with your three frames

     

    then make a button that relates to these frames and that worked for me i will try it with a local HTML file

     

    Cheers!

    This works fine. I've got 8 different local HTML files within a single MSO.  Best practice is to create your MSO first using blank/unassigned frames for your HTML content. Once created target each state and find your blank frame (I often name these in the layers palette prior to creating the MSO as it makes them easier to identify and select) then use the web content overlay to attach your local HTML file. Repeat in each state and then crete the buttons to action the state. If you need the HTML to activate instantly then set to auto play. User interaction at your discretion.
