p_lue Dec 5, 2014 5:03 PM (in response to Himanshu Singh)HI,
I had downloaded your HTML calculator to test in a DPS document. If I simply place it on my page and preview it, it will display and function.
How I want it to work, is to have a graphic (image attached) that the viewer can tap on, then the calculator will appear, and when tapped again, the calculator will close.
I created a Multi State object, with the HTML calculator as one of the states. Each time I tap, i can see that it is changing from one state to another, however the calculator does not show up when its state is the active state. Is it that HTML can't be used in an MSO, or does it need to be done in a particular way.

joev Dec 6, 2014 9:47 AM (in response to p_lue)2 Methods
Method 1
Your MSO should contain 2 states open and closed. The open state will hold your calculator in an html overlay, closed state will be an empty, transparent item (I use a picture or text box). Set the autoplay to .125 seconds and enable/disable any other features you might need.
Your image should be a button with with an on tap event with a go to state option set to the open state of your MSO. Your close image will be loaded with the open state and set that button to go st your closed state.
Method 2
Make your article completely with html and use jQuery to hide/show your calculator like you would on a website. This can be accomplished by using an html overlay as well if you cannot make the entire article html.
