Show image/hide image in WebHelp

[Ryan_Reed_27]

I'm using RH 7 and trying to re-create a feature I saw in a WebHelp system (authored in RH X5 or earlier). Click on a "Show image" link and an image appears below just like a drop-down hotspot. On clicking, the text changes to "Hide image." I can't figure out how to change the text on click, and I hate that users have to click the same "Show image"link to make the image go away.

Any help appreciated!

Welcome to the forum

It's all documented on my site.

Thanks! I just spent an hour on your site, Peter, it's terrific...but I couldn't seem to find what I need. Lots of Show All/Hide All methods, and Twisties, but I can't find a way to show/hide a single image and toggle the link text between show and hide. Should I figure out how to adapt a twistie method to text? Or am I missing the correct topic?

This is the topic you want.

You actually use two buttons, one that reads Show and one that reads Hide. Provided the images are the same except the text, to the user it will appear as if the text is changing. That is how it is done.
