By default, the contents are expanded and shown, then users have the option to hide them.
Thanks for your help!

You need to create a Dropdown.
Text only you would insert and select the hotspot text, then go to the DHTML Menu and select Create Dropdown.

that was used in the screenshot I provided. Where can I find them or is there another way to add them?
You need to create them using some image software. For what you want an icon program would do the job, just save as jpg or gif.

Hi there
If you send me a private e-mail message to rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com I can send you back a collection of assorted twisty images I have. There are about 370+ files inside it.
Cheers... Rick
