Drop-down effect

Post by deeptikorwar »

Hi,

Is there a way to edit drop-down effect setting such that user focus is mainly on the content within the drop-down that is expanded instead of the whole page? I have many drop-downs within topics and nested drop-downs too. Trouble is that when user expands a nested drop-down within a drop-down which is at the bottom of the page, user has to scroll a lot to read the expanded text.

Thanks,
Deepti

Insert a bookmark at the first line of the drop-down, then link the dropDownHotspot to the bookmark. Bookmarks always display at the top of the browser, so when the user click the hotspot/link...

Thank you Kwag. The problem with this is that the dropdown effect is lost. Content does not collapse after expansion as the dropdown head is now linked to the bookmark.

Yeah, didn't think that one through. Sorry. The expand/collapse icon works, but the link keeps the feature open (as you said).
