Expanding text not working as i would like

[CrystalKirk]

Hello,

I am working from Robohelp X5 and have often been using expanding text within my project. When im creating my expanding text and hyperlinking funtions it appears to look the way i have set it up however, after publishing my project some of the expanding text are already open (cascaded) and some are closed. I would like them all to be closed unless selected by the end user.

How can I do this?

One other thing to add to this issue...the font size etc that i set for my expanding text looks good until i publish and then some of the text (only some) are big and bold.

I would also like to mention that my expanding text is hyperlinked to other information.

When you apply a hyperlink to any size of text, RH will apply the hyperlink style in the css stylesheet, which specifies the character size.

The challenge is to apply your text specs after the phrase that begins with

<a href= .................>

This is hard to achieve in WYSIWYG, because the RH html viewer takes some shortcuts compared to the WebHelp output code.

Following up,

The script that inserts the text may be interpreting your hyperlink at the beginning of the text as part of the expansion code, automatically opening the expanded text.

TrueCode can offer a clue or two.
