Add button to toolbar that points to a topic

Post by tomjohnson1492 »

This seems like a common request, but I couldn't find it addressed in the help forums. I want to put a button on my webhelp toolbar that points to a specific page in the help where I have a bunch of PDF documents. I know how to create a custom button and point it to a page -- but the page opens in a new window, which is the problem. I need to know the javascript code that I would write to point the button to a link that opens in the same window, rather than a new window. Anyone know how to do that? Thanks,

Tom
