Aaron,
So you don't want to see (or hear the screen reader say),
icon: open book
icon: closed book
icon: page
switch to Navigation Pane Index tab
switch to .... etc. tab
Navigation Pane Index tab is active
. . . . (other) pane is active
As you mentioned, these popup tags are in a handful of output
files in the whgdata folder. Whether it's more trouble to fix the
output every time, or to alter some basic RH files, I'll leave up
to you.
For my money, that wonderful little utility called FAR can
make quick work of this chore. In fact, I used FAR to research this
issue.
OK, I too am in favor of eliminating any repetitive chore.
The source is in the file HtmSingleSourceWebHelp.dll in the
RoboHTML program folder. I have no idea how to edit a .dll file and
have it remain a valid .dll file type, but perhaps you do.
You'll find attributes for the pane -- font, size, color,
background color, etc. -- somewhere in
...\RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock\.
I found some js and xml files that structure the display, but
didn't have time to track down where they pick up the values to
plug in by default.
Happy hunting.
Harvey
