Skinny on skins

[Guest]

I've been working through RoboWizard's fantastic skinny on skins, adding bits and bobs to our WebHelp. I have posted before that I am constantly harranged about the accessibility of the product. One of the items singles out for criticism was the glossary hot spot. Apparently it is inconvenient for some partially sighted users to have to open each up to see if it is a 'lnk' or not.

In RoboWizards skinny on skin it describes what I thought was a fantastically convenient thing, a button that expands all DHTML drop downs. Is there some script out there that will expand all expanders, glossary hot spots etc?

Hi NianNorth. Check out this link at Peter Grainge's site.

Thanks for the reply. But the reason I wanted the button to have the script was to avoid amending every expander in the project. We currently have about 7,000 topics so I don't want to really start doing mass amendments to the code of them. Also if the function was not really required a button could be stripped out at the generation stage easily enough.

I like the way the drop down button works and wanted to replicate that for expanders.

I think Colum has given you the wrong link.

Try this one.
