Drop-down to display content on same pg?
January 24, 2008 12:00 AM
Hi, gurus! I don't know if this can be done with native Lectora or if it will require external coding...I am creating a web site using Lectora. The site is specific to several proprietary applications, and contains detailed information for app users.Functionality that will be used multiple times is a page that describes the fields on a specific app screen (one page per app screen), including field type (free text, picklist, etc.), defaults (if applicable), description, dependencies, etc. The first app screen I looked at has 54 fields! What I would like to do is create a dropdown list of the fields on the screen. When the user selects one of the fields, I'd like to display the applicable info below the dropdown. (I hope this is clear.)Bottom line, I want to reuse one page for this data, rather than having billions of pages that each display a single field description.Can Lectora do this? The form drop-down seems to have a single action for the entire object, rather than per item. The TOC dropdown won't work; the menu won't work...I am open to other ways to do this, but this seems the most simple and straightforward.Your thoughts?Thanks in advance!Kathy
