Javascript Call for Open Book in TOC CSH

[awargo]

I am looking for a way that when I open an alias identifier with the Javascript in Default.js to make it show the TOC book as open for a second level. The first level heading books open correctly but when the page that opens with CSH is a book within a book it remains closed and doesn't show the other topics. Is there some parameter that I am missing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Is the CSH calling to a topic within the second-level book, or to the same topic that's associated with the book?

The topic is a second level book and that is what the CHS is calling to and what the book is associating with.

I think it's because you're pointing to a topic that's associated with a book. If the topic were beneath that book, then it would work. That's basically why the first-level book expanded -- because you jumped to a topic beneath that book, not to the book itself.

Same type of thing happens when you're in the WebHelp output itself (and you have the sync option enabled) -- if you click on a link in a topic that's pointing to another topic that's associated with a book, the book will highlight to indicate it was selected and its topic will appear, but the book itself won't expand.

The only way I can think of to get what you want is to not associate the topic with the book but to have it a separate topic beneath the book. It may work if you have both, though -- if you have the book associated to the topic and that topic is also listed first under the book. It might work then, but you'd have to try it.
