Is it somehow possible to create mouse over in a topic text instead of using the Drop-down in the DHTML menu?

Hi there

Many things are possible. It depends on your comfort level of JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Certainly RoboHelp by itself doesn't offer anything that will help. That means that whatever you want to accomplish will require you stepping outside the box and hand crafting something. As you mention mousing over, you might want to check out something called OverLib.

JavaScript is a good solution, but if you want to show only a little text for a word, you can use the tag. Browsers will show a tooltip when you hover an abbr tag.

See www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_abbr.asp for more details.

Note that this may be a rather obscure way of hiding additional information and the text may not show up in the RoboHelp search. (Apart from being an abuse of the abbr tag

Hi Ulrik

You may also want to take a look at Item 6 at http://www.grainge.org/pages/snippets/snippets.htm#content which covers the use of the acronym tag. That is no longer supported in HTML5 and has been replaced by the abbr tag to which Willam has referred. I have pointed you there as it may be you are not concerned by those niceties and there is an example.

It also contains a link to another method strongly recommended by another user.
