RE: MS CHM - How Do They Do This?

Hi Jim.

I've not done anything specific to this but I've done pop-up balloons in
CHM files before. To do them it's a bit  of activeX code. I would guess
as these are standard HTML pages in side the CHM then you could do it
with Java script or activX stuff.

Cheers.
Nick.

Hi,
When you read help for programs like Word and Excel, you run into links
that say show and hide. If you click sshow, it gives you more
information
about something, when you click hide, the extra information goes away.
How
do you create something like this?

Thanks.
