Hello all.
I'm looking for suggestions for books, webinars, and other sources that can teach me how to add interesting features to my HTML5 Help system using JavaScript. So far I've reviewed the MadCap for Programmers book. I also incorporated the Top button feature from the Flare Help tutorial. Now I'm looking for other useful features that I can incorporate. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
JavaScript and HTML5 outputs
Re: JavaScript and HTML5 outputs
My tip would be to have a look at jQuery. It's a javascript library that makes it a lot easier to write javascript, by providing oven-ready functions for common tasks.
I'm not a coder, and it was an absolute revelation for me because it provided some simple functions for stuff that I would have trouble writing in raw javascript.
I use it a lot for manipulating the HTML in the output; e.g. adding and moving HTML tags, adding classes to HTML tags.
Flare already includes jQuery in HTML5 outputs, so you can use it straight away in your scripts.

Good idea. I'll check out JQuery. Thanks Dave.
