WebHelp | RH9
I've just installed IE9 and when I launch my published WebHelp and select a link in the table of contents, it displays a dotted outline around the selected item. This never happened with IE8, so I was wondering if there's anyway to prevent it? Is it possible to add "outline:none" somewhere in the RoboHelp output (like you would when styling a link in CSS) so that it doesn't appear?
Many thanks
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Unfortunately, IE proved a harder nut to crack than I imagined. The problem is that IE9 does support the outline css, but the TOC runs in quircks mode so no IE9 goodness there... There is a solution, it's just not as straightforward as I thought. See http://www.wvanweelden.eu/robohelp/modifying_webhelp/remove_outline_in_toc for a step by step guide to get rid of the outline.
Note: If you'll allow me, I'd like to use your example image on my site. It looks way better than the example i

Hi,
You can in whtdhtml.htm. Add the following HTML to the head section:
<style type="text/css">
* { outline: transparent none !important; }
</style>

Thanks Willam, that worked a treat!
Noticed in your page http://www.wvanweelden.eu/robohelp/modifying_webhelp/remove_outline_in_toc the hidefodus=\"true\" bit should read hidefocus=\"true\".
Yes, no problem, of course you can use my example image on your site.
Cheers
