I have added drop-down to collapse large files. I have edited the MC style slightly to better suit our corporate style. But nothing majorv (only a border in dropdonwHead and a change of images for collapse and expand). I have done this before and have never had a problem.
However, now when I view the generated output the drop-down auotmatically expands the text when I open a topic with the drop-down style. The funny thing is that when I preview the topic it looks justs fine and the drop-down stays collapsed till I click the hotspot. Where can I change the settings so the text in the hotspot stays collapsed?
Drop-down automatically expands text in output
Re: Drop-down automatically expands text in output
Adding to my previous post: This issue seems to be related to tables only. Adding standard text within the drop-down stays collapsed. Now, I know that tables have previously worked for me and stayed collapsed withii the drop-down. So I wonder what has happened since then (I think it has been 2 versions since then)

How are you navigating to the page?MetteDK wrote:Adding to my previous post: This issue seems to be related to tables only. Adding standard text within the drop-down stays collapsed.

- If you are searching for a word that appears in a dropdown, that dropdown will automatically expand on page load (table or no table).
- If you're navigating through the menus (or reach the page via search for something that's not in the dropdown), it should stay closed.
I can confirm that this works as expected (for all our dropdowns, including those with tables) for HTML5 top and side nav output in v2018 r2.

Hi Casey
I am simply testing the feature and not searching for a specific term. I compile and open the Help and as soon as I open the topic with the table it expands. As I wrote it stays collapsed if the drop-down contains simple text only. I am puzzled about this behavior since I have used this feature before with the same styling for many many tables. It was with a previous version of Flare thouhg. For about 18 months I didn't produce HTML5 Help but only PDF.

Hi '- again- Casey
After a couple of days away from my project and yet another compilation - it now works!!
I wonder if I was stuck in a bad cycle the other day. Thanks for trying to help out.
