Yes, take a look at the tabs in the skin. You can definitely tell it to hide the navigation on startup. Can't remember if you can hide the toolbar outright or if you have to fake it by setting it's height to 0px or 1px.

you can set it to display the topic only when the user access the help system but provide a button that wraps the topic in the toc and top frame as well.

There's no way to switch off the frames completely, although you could just open a WebHelp topic in the output and it will display ok without the frames.

Hi, how do you do this?

I'm trying to set up a target to display only content (not TOC toolbar and frame) in a 3"x3" size window.

For the skin, I set all margins to 0 and indicated not to open up navigation.

I'm getting an internal error message when building the target.

Thanks,
Pamela

Build webhelp (or webhelp mobile) as normal (i.e. with the TOC and skin etc). But then only distribute the HTM, CSS and image files from your output/target/content directory (i.e. don't send Default.htm, Default.js etc, or the "Data" or "Skin" folders).

Note: your developers will need to address the *.htm file names directly when calling help (context sensitive IDs and the default topic etc are not valid with this approach).

Cheers
Greg
