Drop Down Text Effects

Hi there.

I'm created topics currently that have drop down text effects in them.

Basically, I have a title which has got a little image next to it (a plus expand sign image).

When you click either the image of the title text, the drop down text appears as intended.

Is there anyway I can get it, so that when you click either the text or the image, the image changes to be a minimise image?

The screenshots below demonstrate what I mean a bit clearer.

minimised.gif expanded.gif

Thanks very much,


Craig

Hi there

If you are using RoboHelp 8, you can edit your style sheet to include "Twisty" images that do this.

If you are using an earlier version of RoboHelp, fellow Community Professional Peter Grainge has info on his site at the link below.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Do they work in CHM files?

Hello again

I can't fathom why they wouldn't. You may need to add the images to baggage, but other than that they should be fine.

Cheers... Rick

Tried it.

The drop down works, but my down image isn't being displayed.

I'm getting a blank box as though the image can't be found.

Its called arrowdown.gif and is in the images folder in the root of the project.

Can't see why it isn't being displayed...

Only reason I can think of is because the page it is being used on is in a sub folder.... how could I get around this?

Any ideas?

Hi Craig

Were you sure to add the images to the list of Baggage Files as I suggested? If you didn't do this, the images aren't included in the CHM.

You might ask why. usually images for things like this are referenced using scripts. Because they aren't used in topics as plain topic images, RoboHelp is unaware of them and needs to be explicitly told to include them. That's what Baggage is for.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,

I did add both of the images to the baggage files, as well as the javascript file.

When I preview the topic, it works correctly.


When I view it properly, its a blank image

Regards,

Craig

Hi Craig

All I can say is that the script or whatever simply isn't finding the image if you are viewing from the compiled CHM. When you compile, you need to ensure that everything is in the place it needs to be. For example, maybe you have a folder in your project and you added the image to the folder. But in reality, it's looking for the image in the project root. Because the image is in the folder, it cannot be found.

I'd suggest a double-check of things just to be certain.

Cheers... Rick

Brill!


Your reply helped me see what was wrong.

I'd added it to the baggage, but I didn't put it in an images folder!!

Thanks very much.
